10000259 1396092 <p>We will have all you can eat sushi and japanese snacks. We will have some conversational japanese exchange in a social setting. We will also show a featured Japanese movie for the night after 11pm and even have karaoke . Occasionally, we will have some live entertainers from Japan that the group will be able to meet and talk to.</p> <p>Meetup members will also be able to access travel discounts and tips on traveling and working in Japan</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color : #444444">Few other cities boast the diverse array of ethnic enclaves and confluence of global cultures that New Yorkers routinely enjoy. And the representation of Japanese culture in New York City is no exception. From the&nbsp;clich&eacute; ubiquity of sushi houses to authentic and unique Japanese performing artists on tour, our group enjoys the sides of Japan that are on display in New York. Our events include art exhibits, J-pop concerts, sake tastings, karaoke outings, book readings, lectures, language classes, anime and manga screenings, networking events, and regular dinners at Japanese restaurants. A great group to meet&nbsp; others who share an interest, respect, and appreciation for all things Japan! :)</span></p>

100003402 6700562 <p>Let's grab some coffee and chat about technology, industries we're familiar with, sales/biz dev concepts, and the format of future meetups.</p> <p>Location: Argo Tea - 75 University Ave (University &amp; 11th)</p> <p>The NYC Startup Enterprise Sales group is for people who are currently at small tech startups selling into large brands, agencies, or involved in complex sales cycles of any kind. Sales/Business Development pros, founders who sell, "growth-hackers", and anyone responsible for bringing in revenue or users to a small stage company should join this meetup group. The goal is to get together, have some good conversations, share tips/strategies, and make some solid connections. This hopefully will be an on-going meetup that's either early in the morning (coffee) or in the evening (beer) anywhere Flatiron or below. Looking forward to meeting everyone!</p>

A global institution focused on the European and American traditions, the Morgan houses one of the world's foremost collections of manuscripts, rare books, music, drawings, and ancient and other works of art. These holdings, which represent the legacy of Pierpont Morgan and numerous later benefactors, comprise a unique and dynamic record of civilization, as well as an incomparable repository of ideas and of the creative process.</p> <p> <b>Vision</b></p> <p>The Morgan Library &amp; Museum celebrates creativity and the imagination, with the conviction that meaningful engagement with literature, music, history, and art enriches lives, opens minds, and deepens understanding.</p> <p><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/2/8/8/event_196297512.jpeg" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>  </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>EXHIBITIONS ON VIEW:</p> <p> <img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/3/8/c/event_196297772.jpeg" /></p> <p><a href="http://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/exhibition.asp?id=74"><b>Treasures from the Vault</b></a><br/><i>January 15 through May 5, 2013</i></p> <p><i>Treasures from the Vault</i> offers a changing selection of works drawn from the Morgan's celebrated collections of medieval manuscripts, printed books and bindings, literary manuscripts, private letters and correspondence, and original music.</p> <p> <img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/d/a/a/event_196300362.jpeg" /></p> <p><a href="http://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/exhibition.asp?id=70"><b>Drawing Surrealism</b></a><br/><i>January 25 through April 21, 2013</i></p> <p>Bringing together more than 160 works on paper by such iconic artists as Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, Leonora Carrington, and Joan Miró, this is the first major exhibition to explore the central role of drawing in surrealism, one of the most important movements in twentieth-century art.</p> <p> <img src="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/e/0/e/event_196300462.jpeg" /></p> <p><a href="http://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/exhibition.asp?id=71"><b>Marcel Proust and <i>Swann's Way</i>:</b></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/exhibition.asp?id=71"><b>100th Anniversary</b></a><br/><i>February 15 through April 28, 2013</i></p> <p>The Morgan celebrates the 1913 publication of <i>Swann's Way</i> with a fascinating selection of the author's notebooks, preliminary drafts, galley-proofs, and other documents from the collection of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.</p> <p> <img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/e/4/0/event_196300512.jpeg" /></p> <p><a href="http://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/exhibition.asp?id=68"><b>Degas, Miss La La, and the Cirque Fernando</b></a><br/><i>February 15 through May 12, 2013</i></p> <p>The exhibition brings together for the first time Degas's remarkable painting, on loan from the National Gallery, London, and nearly all of the related preparatory works.</p> <p> <img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/4/7/c/event_196298012.jpeg" /></p> <p><a href="http://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/mckim/default.asp"><b>Pierpont Morgan's 1906 Library</b></a><br/><i>Ongoing</i></p> <p>In 2010 the Morgan restored the interior of the 1906 library to its original grandeur.

100006632 6566782 <p>Let's meetup and do some ice skating.</p> <p>Aside from being fun, ice skating is a good workout and a nice practice for anyone who enjoys winter sports, especially skiers - the balance/movements you go through on skis and ice skates are very similar.<br/>If you are a beginner skier or you plan to learn skiing this season, you'll have one more reason to join us for some ice skating...I'll give you some basic tips and help you get going on the ice.</p> <p>Citi Pond at Bryant Park is Manhattan's first and only free admission ice skating rink. Back for its seventh season, Citi Pond is one of NYC's most treasured winter destinations.</p> <p><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/f/6/0/event_178748032.jpeg" /></p> <p><b>Schedule:</b><br/>The plan is to meet at 9AM inside the rink facility by the lockers.<br/>(Entrance to the facility is from the 40th street, middle of the block)<br/>This is where we will change and put ice skates on before proceeding to the ice.<br/><b>Bring a lock</b> - lockers are free, but if you do not have one you'll have to either buy it at the counter ($7) or check in your bag (and pay a $7 or $10 fee).<br/>I realize 9AM is a bit early, but until we figure out who can skate on what level it's for the best.<br/>From the experience, the major concern and source of insecurity for the people learning how to ice skate are the kids zooming past them from all direction while on the ice...<br/>Early on Sunday morning, there is only a few people skating, so we get more space to practice and enjoy, and less kids to worry about.<br/>Once everyone in the group is comfortable with skating in a more crowded rink we can change the meetup time and maybe even a day of the week - we could do some after work skate metups on Wednesdays or Thursdays evenings...</p> <p><b>Cost:</b><br/>Access to the ice skating rink is free, and so is the use of lockers (you need to bring your lock!).<br/>However, the ice-skates rental is not free.<br/>If you have a pair of ice skates, then you won't pay a dime; but if you do not have your own ice-skates, and can't borrow them from a friend/relative, you'll have to rent them at the facility for $14 for a skating period (you can stay as long as you want 8AM-10PM).<br/>If you plan on ice skating more than 2 times this season, I suggest you to purchase a pair of ice skates; there are some incredibly cheap skates out there - girls can pick up a pair for as low as $30...<br/>Just make sure they fit you OK (thigh but not blistering tight), get the cheapest pair, and disregard all selling points salesman will try to put out there...</p> <p> <b>Transportation:</b><br/>Getting to the Bryant park is easy.<br/>Take subway line B,D,F or M to the 42nd Street - Bryan park stop...<br/>or 7 line to the 5th Ave stop...<br/>or N, R, Q, 1, 2 or 3 line to the Times Square - 42nd Street stop and walk one Ave block east.<br/>The entrance to the ice skating rink is from the south side of the park - 40th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues.</p> <p><b>What to wear:</b><br/>What usually works best for me is a base layer top (thin, body tight, moisture wick shirt) with a warm sweater on the top, a scarf, a warm hat, and a pair of gloves; everything else stays in the locker - it could be a bit cold at first, but as soon as you start skating you'll start rolling your sleeves up; Again, this is what works for me - you may want to adjust the amount/type of clothing to best fit your needs.<br/>Cell phones are not permitted on the ice - if you need to make a call/send text, you have to step off the ice.</p> <p><b>Checking in:</b><br/>When you enter the facility you will be directed to the counter where they will ask you if you have your own skates or if you need to rent a pair, ask you to sign a waiver and give you a bracelet.<br/>After you get the bracelet, you can proceed to the lockers area.<br/>There are some snacks/drinks sold at the facility but the prices are as they usually are in places like this...I recommend bringing a bottle of water/drink and keeping it in your locker...</p> <p>This is a group for people looking to escape the city routine and enjoy in the great outdoors of the Northeast. If you are interested in hiking, camping, backpacking, whitewater rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, skiing and other similar activities but your friends do not share your passion for the nature and high adrenaline sports - you came to the right place...Adventure Outlet will enable you to get in touch with like-minded people, and join them on one of the adventures. If you know of a great hiking trail in your area, or you found a piece of undiscovered nature and you would like to share it with others - even better. Contact us, and we will help you plan and host an event. Our goal is to build a close-knit group of outdoors enthusiasts and provide a friendly and stress free environment.</p>

10000758 618833 <p>Our Community Salons invite members of the community to share knowledge on topics they are passionate about.</p> <p>This is a way to learn from those among us who have dedicated time and energy to mastering a skill or gaining deeper understanding.</p> <p>The Salons create an opportunity to get to know one another and extend support, feedback and assistance in a way that meets our needs, creates synergy and builds an empowered community.</p> <p><b>TOPIC DESCRIPTION<br/>_________________________________</b></p> <p>Here is Carl Golembeski's description of the event...</p> <p>In January 2009, I was given an invitation to the south of Chile to participate in the ancestral modern techniques of the Condor Blanco tribe. So I signed up for a Vision Quest and the fabrication of a native drum. There was an interest to create a musical identity for the tribe, which was perfectly synchronized with my visit there. With no expectations and a pile of curiosity I set out, from NYC to South of Chile with 100 lbs of recording equipment, a keyboard and my camping gear.</p> <p>What I received was a gift far larger than what I had signed up for. A gift of an experience!! An experience in nature, in relationships, in community, in love, in culture with the energy of the lineage of Condor Blanco that truly touched my heart.</p> <p>In this special night utilizing multimedia presentation, I would like to share my profound experience with you.</p> <p>With the intention of bringing an experience to your hearts, I will also be expanding on these topics and more:</p> <p>- The prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor<br/>- Ancestral teachings of the Condor Lineage<br/>- The neo-shamanic experience<br/>- The importance of awareness, reflection and communication<br/>- The power of stones<br/>- The transforming powers of a sweatlodge/temazcal</p> <p>I will be joined by Mesan-yo (a CB Guardian) who has been living on the Condor Blanco Mountain for the past 3 years and who will share his experience of life on the mountain.</p> <p>Mesan-yo has a 5 year old daughter who lives on the mountain with him. He is also the leader of the Audio/Visual/Media areas of Condor Blanco. And with his 20+ years of involvement with the tribe he will share some of his amazing stories .</p> <p>We will also share music, poems, pictures, and techniques that were either written or inspired from Condor Blanco founder Suryavan Solar.</p> <p>To the beat of my own drum, in harmony with the tribe, we have ignited a new musical spirit, and with that, comes the further awareness of my own being, being engaged in collective motion.</p> <p>A living myth.</p> <p>This experience is the result (in action) of listening to your heart and following a dream.</p> <p><a href="http://www.condorblanco.com"><a href="http://www.condorblan" class="linkified">http://www.condorblan</a>...</a></p> <p>The webpage is currently in Spanish, so please use Google to translate the page by:</p> <p>- searching Condor Blanco in google<br/>- click on "translate this page " to the right of the weblink that appears in google search</p> <p>Inspired by indigenous cultures and modern tribes and compelled by sacred reverence for Earth and Life, StorySpiral NYC creates individual and collective openings into recovering the unconditioned, undiminished, untamed human identity.</p> <p>Our programs emphasize storytelling and direct experiencing in order to access a way of being in community that springs from the very core of Life that is diversity, synergy, and evolution. We support each other as we discover ways to embody those essential qualities within an evolving cultural, social, and economic context. We learn about and contribute to emergent forms of organizing human activity that express the timeless truth of interdependence and interconnectedness.</p> <p><span style="color : #444444"><strong><br> </strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : x-small"><em><br> </em></span></p>

This momentous production marks Mr. Rush’s Broadway debut and Ms. Sarandon’s first time on Broadway in over twenty-five years. The cast also stars Emmy Award nominee Lauren Ambrose and Tony Award winner Andrea Martin.</p> <p>Exit the King is a hilarious and poignant comedy about a megalomaniacal ruler, King Berenger (Rush) whose incompetence has left his country in near ruin. Despite the efforts of Queen Marguerite (Sarandon) and the other members of the court to convince the King he has only 90 minutes left to live, he refuses to relinquish any control.</i></p> <p>Lets first meet for dinner at John's Shanghai at<br/>144 W 46th St # 1, New York, NY? - (212)[masked]?

Each year the JCC presents the powerful work of artists whose vision elevate King's voice for justice, peace and civil rights. Don't miss our annual event, featuring a line-up of visionary performers.<br/>Featuring<br/>Grammy Award® winning vocalist Catherine Russell &amp; Her Band<br/>"Civil Rights in Song and Spirit"<br/>Grammy Award® winning vocalist Catherine Russell is a native New Yorker and a graduate of American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Ms. Russell has toured the world, performing and recording with David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, Paul Simon, Steely Dan, Jackson Browne, Michael Feinstein, and Rosanne Cash.

Catherine has been a guest on The Tavis Smiley Show on PBS-TV and Fresh Air with Terry Gross on NPR. Will Friedwald writing in The Wall Street Journal, calls Catherine Russell "one of the outstanding singers of our time."<br/>April Yvette Thompson<br/>stars in Liberty City<br/>Original play by Jessica Blank and April Yvette Thompson<br/>Excerpts from The New York Theatre Workshop Production<br/>Liberty City: a place where urban and island cultures rub up against each other and the site of Miami's infamous 1980 riots. Enter April Yvette Thompson: the child of a charismatic community-organizing-father and a peace-loving-flower-child mother. 60's free thinkers, 70's young radicals and movement people charged with a passionate belief that they can change the world—that they can teach their children to dream big, to question and to accept nothing less than what the American dream has promised. But as the movement begins to disintegrate, so does the dream that holds this family together. Armed with her parents' brilliance and irreverent out-of-the-box thinking, April learns to pick up the pieces where they left off, in order to shape a new American dream, one that could hold all the history, struggle and love.

100019972 3324842 <p>In December we had a few events at this great venue. We've enjoyed this space, as it can actually have us all sitting and still working on our language exchanges! The lounge seating allows groups of 10-15 to sit together and facilitate conversation! Come and see how a little alcohol can help you speak another language a lot better!</p> <p>We will have the flags out around different seating areas so expect to get as much serious practice as our usual location! The difference will be with a drink in your hand!</p> <p>Of course with Americans sitting at every table we always have ENGLISH available at our regular language events, but at this event we will have a period emphasizing &amp; helping ENGLISH learners! At a designated time, we will make an effort to stick to English speaking and listening comprehension! Don't plan on just speaking to one or two people the entire time, there will be 20 min rotations to groups of tables with native English speakers leading conversations and engaging all to really practice English!</p> <p><b>Please, this event is only for people 21 and above</b> who would like to enjoy a few drinks and or eat! If you don’t drink or do not want to spend money, please wait for our next regular event!</p> <p>We will have the flags out around different seating areas so expect to get as much serious practice as our usual atrium location! The difference will be with a drink in your hand!</p> <p><b>Full Food Menu with Appetizers, Entrees and Deserts!</p> <p></b> $<b>6</b> Beer<br/>$<b>7</b> Red &amp; White Wine<br/>$<b>7</b> Well Cocktails<br/><b><br/>IMPORTANT</b><br/>1. When you RSVP, <b>please write what you SPEAK and what you would like to LEARN</b> in the <b>RSVP</b> section. This way members know if their language will be available!</p> <p>2. Please <b>CHECK-IN with us</b> and fill name tag out, this lets all know you are part of our group, facilitates you going up to anyone and saying hello and using their name thus creating a friendlier atmosphere!</p> <p>3. We are requiring all members to spend at least <b>1/4 of their time HELPING out in their native language</b>! That way we all help each other, you meet people interested in your culture and you make more friends! So for example if your working on your Spanish but from USA, you spend an hour and a half learning at the Spanish table, then give the ESL table half an hour and help out English learners!</p> <p>4. <b>Fee of $1</b> will be charged to cover the group costs.</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing you all there!</p> <p>Do you want to practice a foreign language and have the opportunity for a real language and cultural exchange? We are a group of people that get together to practice and work on languages! Join us at our Sunday language exchange meetings to brush up on a foreign language and learn something completely new about another culture!<br> <br> Our members split into smaller practice groups to improve their French, Italian, German, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and many other languages, and you can also help other members to improve in your native language and learn your culture!<br> <br> We also have other evening and daytime cultural events such as ethnic restaurant events, cultural activity events, cultural related classes, outdoor picnics and special happy hours to promote language practice and cultural exchange!</p> <p><em>Meetup Rules:</em><br> 1. Events are only open to registered members who RSVP for that event.<br> 2. Members must be at least 18 years of age for our events, 21+ for bar events.<br> 3.

So I decide to create one.</p> <p>This group is aimed to provide a platform to create active sports events for active fit Asian Americans, mostly FREE or at a bargain group rate price. This group is for young Asian professionals to enjoy active, and adventurous activties in group setting and make friends in the process. The group has age range from 20s to 30s to keep this group active and strong. Exceptions will be given to those who can demonstrate some extraordinary athletic abilities.</p> <p>The main activies include:<br> adventures, outdoor and sport?activities, skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating, alpine skiing, downhill skiing, figure skating, ice dancing, roller-blading/skating, badminton, table tennis (ping pong), archery, tennis, volleyball, swimming, biking, hiking, zip-Line, adventure courses, paintball, kayaking, bowling, fitness, gym, golf, fencing, whitewater rafting, camping, rock-climbing, sports and recreation, and more ...</p> <p>Some more adventurous events to try:<br> sky-diving, scuba-diving, wave surfing, wind surfing, paragliding, parasailing, horse-back riding & etc. (will update this) ...</p> <p>We will try to complement these events with breakfasts/lunches/dinners when possible. Hey, we all need energy to be active, right?</p> <p>Occasionally, we can join some laid back events like museums, movies, concerts, clubings, karaoke, travels, and Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese), Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese and other Asians culture events etc so we can enjoy other aspects of life too.</p> <p>So, all active Asian Americans, let's keep an active and healthy life style. Join this group and let's create fun active sporting events, and enjoy the life to its fullness together!!!</p> <p>P.S. If you have ideas, discount info or tips, please post your ideas and vote for others' ideas.</p> <p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong></p> <p>This group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY.<br> If you are RSVP-aholics, you don't belong to this group and are NOT welcomed.<br> 1 NO SHOW=WARNING; 2 NO SHOWS=GOOD BYE<br> For more about the group policy, check the About page - <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCAAA/about/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCAAA/about/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCAAA/about/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCAAA/about/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/NYCAAA/about/</a></p>
100021042 3827912 <p>Greetings JuventiNYC!</p> <p>This is the rallying call for all supporters to come out to the Football Factory on Saturday afternoon (yes, finally we're back to normal viewing time) to watch a dazzling clash between two bianconeri teams - Juventus and Udinese. Juve's back line will really have to be on their toes to hold Toto Di Natale at bay.</p> <p>Hope that everyone can make it as team needs 12th man behind them - many big games on deck and they do better when all the NYC supporters are watching together!</p> <p>See you Saturday and fino alla fine forza Juventus!</p> <p> </p> <p>If you're a Juventus fan living in NYC or merely passing through town, please join us on match days at the Football Factory at Legend's on 33rd Street (across from the Empire State Building). Come one, come all and Forza Juve!</p>

We strive for adventures, fun, and friendships. This group is for people who enjoy hiking, being outdoors and meeting new people. We feature hikes for all skill levels, canoeing, camping, biking, social gatherings and other outdoor activities. These events are a great way to get out, meet people, and smell some fresh air. If you have a suggestion, please feel free to contact the Organizer or post them on “ideas for meetup” on the calendar page. Most of the activities are pretty tame, but any participation in this group is at your own risk. If you want to meet fun and adventurous people, this group is for you. Come join us. It will be an adventure you won’t soon forget.</p> <p>Adventures are closer than you think!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Get Involved:</strong></p> <p>We need Assistant Organizers and Event Hosts! If you don't see your preferred activity listed or a hike on your side of town, please volunteer by contacting the Organizer! You might be surprised just how many people are looking to do the same activity that you are. Other ways to volunteer would be a Greeter (Greet new members as they join the group.) or Monthly News Letter Editor (Write articles for a Monthly News Letter to be published on the message board.). We welcome Event &amp; Group Sponsors who need some publicity for a great price!</p> <p>Why not become a Hike Leader?</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Monthly Photo Contest:</strong></p> <p>We are having a Monthly Photo Contest. You have 1 month to upload your favorite photo. At the end of the month, the Assist Organizers will pick the top 12. We will then have a poll for voting on these 12. The members will be able to rate each picture from 1 to 10 rating. The photo with the highest ratings at the end of this month will win. This photo will then be used as the open page picture for following month. The only thing you receive are bragging rights.</p> <p>Upload January Photos Here: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/</a><br> Please name the photo and leave a comment about the photo.</p> <p>So why not amaze the rest of the members with you photography skills?</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>100 Miles Club and 200 Miles Club:</strong></p> <p>Are you looking for a Goal to reach? We have two clubs for you. You join the 100 Miles Club when you reach 100 Miles hiking a year with this group only (Chicago Hiking, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group). You join the 200 Miles Club when you reach 200 Miles hiking a year with any Meetup Groups (Windy City Hikers, this group, etc.). Your Meetup Names will be posted in the About Section in this group.</p> <p>Let’s start counting those miles!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Dues and Fees:</strong></p> <p>There are no membership dues to be part of this group. For prepay events, we will sometimes add up to three dollars, normally 1 to 2, to the payment to help out with the Meetup.com monthly fees.</p> <p>For other events, example hikes, we suggest a 1 or 2 dollar donation at the start of the event. This is totally voluntary. No records will be kept for who donates and who doesn’t.</p> <p>If you want to make a voluntary donation. Go to the top of this page and click on "Pay Online". Enter the amount you would like to donate. Donate any amount you like. This will be paid with Paypal.</p> <p>We would personally prefer if people would donate their time as an Assistant Organizer or Hike Leader versus making a donation of money. Any help is very much appreciated.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p>Other Recommended Outdoors Meetup Groups: If events are full on this group, why not see what these groups are up to.</p> <p> </p> <p>The NW Burbs Camping Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/</a></p> <p>Southwest Suburbs Sports, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/</a></p> <p>Chicago Camping &amp; Outdoors Adventure Group</p> <p><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoCampers/">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoCampers/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Please support Outdoors Meetup Groups!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p>See you on the trail!</p> <p>Kevin</p> <p>PS: Tell a Friend about us!</p> <p>Come find us on Facebook:<br> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gid=251355911863#/group.php?v=info&amp;gid=251355911863" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi</a>...</p>

10002197 1290665 <p>[Update: Lots of folks are signing up, and that's great! But, everyone should be prepared to still move quickly so we can do some good mileage - please come prepared both physically, and with the proper gear. Also, not to jinx it, but the weather report is getting better and better!]</p> <p><br/>Spring seems like its sticking around for a while, so dust off those hiking boots, wash out those nalgenes, and throw on the fleece!</p> <p>Mark your calendars...hiking on March 28th in Harriman State Park. We'll likely start from the Tuxedo train station and either end back there, or in Suffern and get back on the train - depending on the group. Right now the forecast is for showers, but we are a week out, so that's definitely going to change.</p> <p>We'll be moving reasonably fast. The morning train gets to Tuxedo around 10am, and we'll shoot for the 4pm return, and hope to cover about 10-12 miles. Despite its proximity to NYC, Harriman is rocky. So, only boots or hiking shoes....NO SNEAKERS, whatsoever!!! (Sorry to sound like a jerk about this, but if you slip and fall, or are moving really slowly, you'll ruin everyone's day - so I'll ask you to not join our hike if you show up that day unprepared.) Be in decent shape and ready to move reasonably fast for 6 hours over varied terrain.</p> <p>Where to meet:<br/>In Penn Station, at the desk next to the NJ Transit waiting area. Its down the corridor by a perfume store.<br/>Meet: 8:50AM! We'll try to catch the 9:07 to Secaucus, then switch to the Port Jervis train at Secaucus. We'll get to Tuxedo at 10:17.<br/>If you are coming from Hoboken, take the 9:21 Port Jervis train.<br/>Buy a roundtrip ticket to Tuxedo.</p> <p>Bring:</p> <p>Lunch, snacks<br/>non-cotton layered clothes<br/>rain gear<br/>at least 2 quarts of water<br/>some cash for ice cream/beer afterwards<br/>map, compass (if you have)<br/>Boots with good socks</p> <p>Let me know if you have any questions.

Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

100023362 388690 <p>In 1989, five black and Latino teenagers were arrested and charged with brutally attacking and raping a white female jogger in Central Park. News media swarmed the case, calling them a "wolfpack" and they would spend years in prison for a crime they did not commit before the truth about what really happened was finally told.</p> <p>Based on Sarah Burns' riveting book and co-directed by her husband David McMahon and father, the acclaimed doc filmmaker Ken Burns (The Civil War, Jazz, The Dust Bowl), this incendiary film tells the riveting tale of innocent young men scapegoated for a heinous crime. Set against a backdrop of a decaying city beset by violence and racial tension, The Central Park Five tells the story of how five lives were upended by the rush to judgment by police, a sensationalist media and a devastating miscarriage of justice.</p> <p>Directed by Ken Burns, David McMahon and Sarah Burns, U.S.A., 2012, 119 mins.</p> <p><a href="http://www.facets.org/pages/cinematheque/films/feb2013/centralparkfive.php"><a href="http://www.facets.org/pages/cinematheque/films/feb2013/centralparkfive.php" class="linkified">http://www.facets.org/pages/cinematheque/films/feb2013/centralparkfive.php</a></a></p> <p>Meet other local Documentary Film Fans.

10002414 1359082 <p>This will be an introductory meetup to discuss Acupuncture, how it works, and how it can work for individuals. We can cover TCM, APM, and 5 element styles , however the main thrust will be KM or Kiiko Matsumoto style. There will be reflex demonstrations on willing volunteers by Toni King M.S. L. Ac., all others wanting reflex screening may stay after the discussion for a private screening. Each Screening lasts from 5 to 15 minutes, and distal points will be used with acupuressure so that the reflexes change and the volunteer can report back to the meetup group on how the sensations changed for them. No needles will be used on participants. One free acupuncture treatment will be raffled off (no charge) to willing participants to be performed at a later date in private. Toni King is a fully insured Acupuncturist, Licensed in the State of New York.</p> Meet other locals to discuss Acupuncture, specifically KM style Acupuncture, and how it can help to maintain or increase health and wellness, decrease stress, lower or eliminate pain (acute, idiopathic, or chronic), and manage symptoms of chronic conditions for optimal health and quality of life. Specific meetups will address: *Moxibustion, cupping, gua sha/Kirik *Mei Zen facial acupuncture.(Sometimes called "Acupuncture Face lift"). Meetup will discuss what it is, how it works, and what results can be expected. Meetup will include screening for suitability. * Reflexes and what they means in KM Style. Members can participate in an evaluation of their personal reflexes, discuss why they may have them and see what it takes to change them. Those who may not want to be evaluated for the edification of the group may make arrangements for a private reflex analysis at the end of the meetup, time permitting. *Gua Sha in the family. Gua Sha has been used successfully for centuries in the family to fight the common cold, flu, and muscular aches and pains, just to name a few applications. It uses simple tools that are easily acquired, and it is easy to learn- although it may take a lifetime to master! ( You don't have to be a master to get good results and reap the health benefits for your family). It is time to introduce this simple yet profound technique to the American mainstream. This meetup group will attempt to do just that. We will also discuss possible legal pitfalls when using Gua Sha with children and the elderly and what you can do to prevent misunderstandings in your community. This technique has many names in many countries, Gua Sha is but one name, another well known name is Kirik. Most people find it very pleasant and relaxing- somewhat on the level of a deep tissue massage. * Acupuncture and Western Medicine/ where does acupuncture fit in the big picture of your personal healthcare? * Topical discussions of Acupuncture and the symptoms of: Acute or chronic injuries from sports and martial arts training, Diabetes, Hypertension, Low blood pressure, Insomnia, Lung problems, Thyroid issues, Sinus problems, Heart conditions, Low platelet count, Cancer, COPD, Edema, Poor Circulation, Knee or Joint pain, Back Pain, Migraines and Headaches, Infertility, Stroke, Calf Pain or Spasms, Weight loss, Kidney disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Fatty Liver, Inflammation in the body, Musclular Spasms, Substance Abuse Cessation (cigarrette, alcohol, controlled or illegal substances): or any topic brought up during the meetup. ( The proceeding list is by no means complete, topics will be discussed in the order that most participants are interested in, there may be multiple sessions per topic, or multiple topics per session- time and interest permitting).

10002906 740604 <p>Don't listen to the fear and gloom, it's time to take life by the tail and point it to where you want to go!</p> <p>In this meeting we will be working on tools to help us create the life we all desire. We will review some of the material we discussed in our previous meetings, but with the intent to work on how we can apply it to help us create a joyous new life. Please come with an open spirit and open mind, feel free to bring friends with you, and be prepared to learn, laugh and enjoy yourself.</p> <p>What better way to have the life you desire than to work on attracting exactly what you want?</p> <p>NOTE: East West has a $5 per person fee, which they collect themselves. Please bring exact change (it just makes everything easier).</p> <p>I look forward to reconnecting with all of you in the new year! As always, we will have some time to review the upcoming workshop and answer any questions you may have about it.</p> <p>Yours Joyfully,</p> <p>Sam</p> "You've seen The Secret, now learn how to apply it!" The movie & book "The Secret" and the Abraham-Hicks lectures & publications have done an incredible job exposing us to the laws of deliberate creation. However, it is not enough to know the theories; we must also be able to apply them effectively in our day-to-day lives. Sam Liebowitz translates the abstract, complex principles of the Laws of Attraction, Deliberate Creation, and Allowing into simple, practical concepts that are easy to understand, and gives you strategies for using it in your everyday life. In our environment, it is much more fun, more rewarding, and easier to follow through on your intentions when you feel the support of friendly, positive, like-minded people. Join us & learn to live the life you've always imagined! In our meetings you will learn: 1. To use your focus, language and physiology to create your reality 2. To increase your vibrational frequency 3. To move up the emotional scale in a moment 4. To improve your internal dialogue 5. To create abundance in health, wealth & love! Remember: "It's not your work to make anything happen. It's your work to dream it and let it happen. Law of Attraction will make it happen. In your joy, you create something, and then you maintain your vibrational harmony with it, and the Universe must find a way to bring it about. That's the promise of Law of Attraction." ~Abraham-Hicks

10003472 397533 <p>There are alot of people interested in playing in this tournament. Like I said it's going to be a great night I promise you that. Won't tell you everything that I have planned except that i will provide pizza. You have to show up to find out more. I'm looking forward to this.<br/>make sure you're there for the fun!!</p> <p>AS A WAY OF ME SAYING THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR COMING TO DRIFTWOOD TO PLAY EUCHRE...I WILL BE DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL JUST FOR YOU MY WAY OF SAYING THANK YOU!!<br/>YOU'LL HAVE TO COME TO FIND OT WHAT I'M DOING. I WILL TELL YOU THIS MUCH PIZZAS ON ME BUT THATS ALL I WILL SAY. SEE YOU THEN!<br/>It will be fun.</p> <p>Instead of the normal progressive euchre, we are going to have a team tournament. Allow me to explain. At the beginning of the night, you will be partnered up with someone for the entire tournament. (either someone who is there or if you already have someone you'd like to be partners with, that's great!) Each team will play one game against each other. (for 16 people, that's 8 teams, so that's 7 games). Each game will consist of two rounds worth of deals (each person deals twice, just like in the progressive nights). The team with the highest point total after 8 deals, wins that game. If there is a tie in points after 8 rounds, one more hand is dealt to determine the winner. The team that wins the most games, wins the tournament. In the event of a tie, the team with the highest point total will win.</p> <p>All of the same general rules of progressive style are in effect (i.e. No calling Ace-no-face (or Farmer's Hand); stick the dealer is in play). If there are any misdeals, the same person dealing the hand reshuffles the cards and deals again.</p> <p>Prizes? Why, yes, there will be a prize. The winning team will get to take home a whopping $45 each!!! (this prize is if all 20 people show up, the amount will go down if less than the 20 show up) While the losing team will each get their $5 entry fee back. If there is a tie for the losing team, the lowest point total will be the losing team and therefore get their entry fee back.</p> <p>You MUST stay for the entire tournament. It is unfair to all if someone leaves and is unable to complete all games.</p> <p>I do not schedule a break, but please try to keep breaks to a minimum. Most people like the game to have a continued flow to it. If there are too many breaks, it slows down the game. I want everyone to have fun at these events.</p> <p>When the tournament is over, everyone is welcome to stick around and play euchre all night long. Why not? It's a Saturday!!!</p> <p>We play Euchre at a different Chicago pub or restaurant for fun (with a little competitive streak). You will meet new people, visit different places, and improve your skill. Open to all players.&nbsp; No need to bring a partner - we will match you up.&nbsp; If you haven't played before, come to one of our Teach &amp; Learn classes.&nbsp; You'll get hooked!&nbsp; Join us!</p>

Transition initiatives aim to engage people and communities in strengthening themselves against these challenges, resulting in a life that is more fulfilling, socially connected and resilient.</p> <p>Michael Brownlee is co-founder of Transition Boulder County <a href="http://www.Transition..."><a href="http://www.Transition" class="linkified">http://www.Transition</a>...</a>, a non-profit organization striving to catalyze, support and train communities as they consider and implement Transition Initiatives.

Scientists warned that we were likely to see many more extreme weather disasters as climate change accelerates.  Suddenly, environmental threats were no longer theoretical problems 10 or 20 years in the future – but tangible disasters that might hit next week.</span><br> <br> <span style="color : #000000">Sustainability is now paired with</span></span> <span><a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/resilience">resilience</a>,</span> <span style="color : #000000">the ability to bounce back and resume functioning after change or disruption.  <br> <br> Huge government efforts are now underway to build resilience and prepare for near-term disruptions, creating opportunities.  Billions in federal funds will be spent in NY City and State.  NYC government has launched a <a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcla/downloads/pdf/SIRR_Public_Workshops_March_2013.pdf"><span>Special Initiative for Rebuilding and Resilience</span></a>, and <a href="http://www.council.nyc.gov/html/pr/121912bldg.shtml"><span>task forces on how to prepare our buildings</span></a> and neighborhoods for climate change impacts. They will need public support and public input.  Getting the public involved in exploring the places where sustainability and resilience responses overlap offers great opportunities. <br> <br> <strong><span>Many sustainable responses are also resilient responses.</span></strong><span style="color : #555555"><br> <br> </span> <span style="color : #000000">Good news: many of the responses that will make NYC and the US more sustainable and more energy-efficient, while slowing climate change and lowering our costs, will also make us more resilient. <br> <br> <span style="color : #000000">-  Encouraging NYC building owners to take advantage of existing energy efficiency upgrade options, and raising green building standards beyond LEED and NYC building code toward the new passive house standards<span style="color : #555555"><br> </span> <span style="color : #000000">- Increasing the amount of energy we get from solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower, and encouraging solar system installations within NYC<br> -</span></span> <span style="color : #000000">Supporting decentralized power generation and smart grids</span> <span style="color : #555555"><br> </span><br> Remember the transportation and shipping disruptions after Hurricane Sandy? Getting more of what we need from in or near our community reduces our dependence on vulnerable long-distance supply chains.  It will also promote local economic development, create jobs, and improve our quality of life.</span> <span style="color : #555555"><br> <br> </span> <span style="color : #000000">- Getting more of NYC's food from within NYC, NY State and the metro region</span> <span style="color : #555555"><br> </span> <span style="color : #000000">- Supporting a robust NYC mass transit system<br> - Expanding and improving NYC bus service<br> - Supporting biking &amp; electric transportation<br> - Promoting massive federal funding of rail networks<br> - Opposing urban sprawl; promoting denser development of existing towns, cities and areas with mass transit access<br> <br> </span> <span style="color : #000000">Resilience topics most directly tied to the memory of Hurricane Sandy will include preparing at the individual and community level for a wide range of disruptions, to reduce both future hardship and future costs. There are many local resources and allies for this work, including <a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/html/home/home.shtml">NYC Office of Emergency Management</a>, which has community programs including <a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/html/get_involved/cert.shtml">Community Emergency Response Team</a> (CERT) and <a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/html/get_involved/ccc.shtml">NYC Citizen Corps Council</a>.<br> </span> <span style="color : #555555"><br> </span></span> <span style="color : #000000"><strong>The benefit of getting more New Yorkers involved</strong><br> <br> One area where PlaNYC could be stronger has been seeking public input and gaining public support.  Consider what happens when the City comes out with sustainability or public health initiatives without building substantial public support beforehand.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000">- Getting diverse community based organizations involved - the majority of which don't focus on either - will build grassroots support and make City efforts more successful over the long term. <br> <br> - NYC has many creative communities and networks of technical experts. most of which don't focus on either sustainability or resilience.  Encouraging them to put some thought to these topics could catalyze innovations in organizational practices, messaging, business or technology. <br> <br> <strong>It's not just hurricanes.  We live in exciting and increasingly volatile times.</strong><br> <br> <span style="color : #000000">What steps must we take to ensure that NYC in 2033 is sustainable, resilient, happy and prosperous? Before we can address that question, we have to acknowledge that volatility and disruption in our future will be coming from more directions than widely recognized.

O</span>il companies are forced to drill in increasingly extreme locations, often miles under the ocean floor.  It's because the easy oil has all been found.  Even with the slight increase from unconventional oil supplies, world oil production has been stagnant - and could go into permanent decline at any time.  <a href="http://www.postcarbon.org/issue/13913-energy">We should start preparing now</a>.<br> <br> Likewise, we keep hearing that because of new techniques for drilling natural gas from shale, we'll have enough natural gas for 100 years and the US will even be exporting natural gas to other countries.  <a href="http://www.postcarbon.org/article/1531617-fracked-gas-won-t-solve-energy-crunch">New studies</a> indicate we have far less gas than that, and we should urgently accelerate our transition to renewable clean power instead.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000">In May 2014, the <a href="http://www.postcarbon.org/press-release/2239062-monterey-shale-downgraded">US Energy Information Agency dropped a bombshell</a>: they drastically reduced their estimate of recoverable oil from California's Monterrey shale formation - originally estimated to be 64% of the nation's recoverable shale oil supply - by 96%! <br> <br> Our economy, beset with multiple financial crises, is already highly volatile.   <span style="color : #000000">Entering a time in which availability of fossil fuel energy supplies is permanently declining instead of increasing will clearly</span> affect economic conditions.   <a href="http://www.postcarbon.org/issue/12881-economics">Unending economic growth</a> will no longer be feasible or environmentally desirable, but economic reform leading to a prosperous economy is possible.  The policy responses noted above will help us move in that direction and adapt to a future in which price and supply of fossil fuel is increasingly volatile.</span> <span style="color : #555555"><br> </span> <span style="color : #555555"><br> </span> <strong><span style="color : #000000">What's next?

10003536 461393 <p>Hi Everyone!</p> <p>We had some terrific Step One, Two and Three Meetups, the last few months. The Step Three Meetup are in progress now. The next series of programs will begin on May 12th. See the details on this Meetup site. If you have not signed up for this Meetup already, you are welcome to. Then you will be informed of the upcoming meetings.</p> <p>Pictures of this Meetup are in the photos part of this Meetup site (click on "photos" on left side of this page) You can also read more about Patrick on the About Us Pages of this Meetup website. He will be hosting this next Meetup along with Joan Deasy (organizer) and Maria Vistica (who heads up a similar Meetup in Northern NJ.</p> <p>Here is an more to explain how this Meetup works:</p> <p>This is for people who are beginners to the advanced. It is a network of Meetups in various areas. Whether you travel or stay in this area, it is great to meet with other like minded folks learnign about and using this in their lives. There is no charge for the Meetup Step One or Two for anyone who attended before.</p> <p>MEET UP This Meetup Step One is the first step in a 14 week, step-by-step stress buffering and inner attunement series. The fee is $10 for the Step One Meetup. (If done in combination with a Step Two, this is $5.) Topics covered at this Meetup:<br/>* Your spiritual energy/aura. How to sense it and use this energy constructively.<br/>* Why are you here on Planet Earth? Know this from within yourself. The more you clarify your unique part, the more you will be inner motivated (the relaxed, gentle, and lasting type). The more you live in your niche, the deeper your sense of fulfillment.<br/>* Understand how to balance your intuitive feelings with your thinking part. Most people analyze too much, and talk themselves out of their accurate hunches and first impressions.<br/>* Everyone has the four psychic abilities, although often in a different order. Clarify your inner workings, so you can open yourself to a new level of awareness and enjoyment.<br/>* Gain an understanding of earthbound souls or energy. Know the difference between confusion and a clear source (i.e. feeling chills is a good indication of being "right - on".<br/>* The 7 year cycles of life- stages of spiritual development. This brings more meaning to your daily experiences.<br/>In this Meetup we do techniques so you can experience connecting with your clear and accurate psychic senses. These include:<br/>* Sensing auras and your energy, as well as others.<br/>* Spiritual Cleansing Technique- tunes your energy to the highest vibration. Allows you to remove outside distractions and receive clear insights.<br/>* Energy Elevator- Lean about focusing and directing your energy to accomplish and enjoy life more.<br/>The Psychic Development Meetup Step One will be offered about every calender quarter. This overall 14 week schedule of meetings is a step-by-step process. Each week builds on the next, so it is not possible for people to join in the middle of the 14 weeks. Step one is offered periodically, so people new to this can attend these exciting meetings.<br/>There are three steps in this 14 week Psychic Development Program. For info on the Step Two and Three Parts of this Meetup go to the "About Us" Page (see button on left side of first Meetup page).</p> <p>Copyright GFI Services and Alley Creativity Inc. 2009 All rights reserved. .</p> <p>Everyone is Psychic! Everyone has Extra Sensory Perception. Have you been called on the phone or run into a person in your travels, when you happen to be thinking of them? Do you want to dream or understand the ones you are having? We are all psychic beings, but may not have taken the time to practice and learned to use this ability. These Meetups are practical. They are for anyone from beginners to the advanced. It's for those who want to develop their own particular psychic abilities: inner hearing or clear thoughts (clairaudience), inner seeing (clairvoyance), feeling (healing), and prophecy (trance). People have all four of these, but have a predominate means of psychic perception.</p> <p>The overall objective of these meetings is having a clear inner sense of what is really going on and what is best to do in your work, with family and friends. Fun and simple ways to buffer yourself from the pressure and stress of the world to stay relaxed and tuned into your psychic abilities.</p> <p>See below description regarding this, including prices for the three meetups. You can also see some photos of meetings by clicking on photos - left side of this page.</p>

To boldly dance, tap our toes, or nod our heads to whatever live music we can find in the Berlin area. Some times your favorite band comes through and no one else you know wants to check them out, or a music festival sounds likefun but you dont want to go by yourself. This group was created to help you find a wing person for those gigs. This is just the beginning so all ideas are welcome. If you know of a great DJ, band, drum circle, break dance battle, themed dance party, club, bar, whole in the wall or free jam session feel free to suggest it as a meetup. This group is for lovers of all genres of music.</p>

Please bear in mind, while "free" is easy, "cheap" is relative.<br> <br> Try to keep things inexpensive- if it's an item where there's a discount, a 50% discount is really sweet, but not if the cost is still something like $30. And don't just dump every little promotion you can think of here; that could go crazy. Use your good judgment, and let's find some terrific events to go to.</p>

10004503 1029932 <p>Gonna do a few hrs on the mtn bike as usual in mianus. Only rsvp if your actually interested in attending. Will ride with any skill levels, just wanna get out there and ride..</p> <p><strong>Welcome…</strong></p> <p><span><span>to the Stamford Bicycling Meetup</span> Group (SBMG).  This is a great place to</span> <span>meet other local cyclists in a social setting were you can make friends, find riding buddies, participate in rigorous training sessions, or rip-up the trails...what ever you want.</span> <span>And, if you just want to r</span><span>elax, kick back &amp; do leisure rides</span> <span>SBMG</span> <span>is also a good place for you.  This group is geared to beginner, intermediate &amp; advanced bikers interested in cycling whether for fitness, competition, or recreation.</span></p> <p><span>The</span> <span>SBMG</span> <span>is a motley crew of riders that meet up in and around the Stamford area to do various types of bicycling. We have mountain/off-road bikers that ride at Mianus Park after work during the week, and street riders that meet for casual rides as well a fast paced endurance rides around Stamford.</span></p> <p><span>This Meetup is actually a social networking forum more than a group.  The forum is a means for people in the biking community to find each other and get together for rides.  As such SBMG welcomes and support community originated event.</span> <span>You can think of the</span> <span>SBMG website as a community message board dedicated toward bicycling in Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Rowayton, and beyond.</span> <span>When you are thinking about doing a bike ride, please use the SBMG to find others that are also interested.</span></p> <p><strong>Who We Are</strong></p> <p><span>The Stamford Bicycling Meetup</span> Group (SBMG) is a group of bicycle enthusiasts looking to meet up with others to go cycling. This group is for people of all skill levels and of all biking types (recreational, endurance, leisure, mountain, road, etc.). We meet regularly for in Stamford, Greenwich, and Rowayton, Norwalk, but also plan meetups in other areas, for rail trail, road, and off-road rides.</p> <p><span>If you are a beginner, this is the place to start. You will meet others who can give you advice before you buy any gear. If you are an experienced cyclist, this group is an ideal way to meet other bikers to talk about gear, local routes, and to plan trips. Cyclist of all levels are welcome!</span></p> <p><span>SBMG is a social network forum, not a club, training facility, or outfitter. All events are common adventures, are</span> <strong>non-autocratic</strong> <span>in nature, and not for profit (unless hosted specifically by a business, institution, or outfitter following a different liability model). SBMG, its organizers, and its members assume no legal and or civil responsibility for or to any individual or event.</span></p> <p><strong>We Encourage Safe Cycling</strong></p> <p><span>We suggest for safety reasons that everyone ride with a helmet, in a legal manor, and in a cycle-pods of three to five. The forum makes it possible for novice, intermediate, and advanced bikers to find each other and form safe ride pods. Road cyclists should follow rules of the road.  Off road bikers should follow rules of the park.  The social nature of the group allows members to share safety tips and skills in a non-structured friendly format.  Safety is your responsibility!</span></p> <p><strong>How We Set Up Events</strong></p> <p><span><span>The Stamford Bicycling Meetup</span> Group (SBMG)  is not a leader-dictated Meetup group, but a member-driven forum. Bicycle enthusiasts are welcome to join the forum and suggest locations for common-adventure rides.  All members can suggest a place, date, and time for a bike-ride event.  In fact, SBMG relies heavily on individual members to put events on the calendar.</span></p> <p><span>When two other members decide to attend the suggestion moves to the calendar and is announced to the group as an event.  (Some events are moved to the calendar by one of</span><span>the</span><span>SBMG moderators</span><span>with less than three people on the RSVP list.)</span> <span>Once it is on the calendar it is no longer a suggestion, but an event and it gets announced to the group by e-mail.  Whenever you visit the SBMG page,</span><span>you should check the SUGGESTED events page to see if there is a suggested event that you might want to attend.</span></p> <p><span>Many people worry that if they suggest a ride too many bikers will show up and they would be responsible for a large group.  Most of the SBMG events attract about 1% of the members, which is about 2 to 4 bikers. That is just the right size for a group ride. Members just need to be specific on the day, time, and place (as well as bike-ride type, skill level, pace, etc.) when making a suggestion.  The events are common adventures, so you are not responsible for others, just yourself, but there is always safety in numbers.  However, you should be very specific about the bike-ride type, skill level, and pace of your suggested ride.  It is not a good idea for bikers of a single pod</span><span>to have</span><span>a mixed expectation of the ride... it just leads to disappointment and a ride pod break down.  In short, be clear in your suggestion description and others with like-minded</span><span>thinking will join you (i.e. clearly state road ride, mountain bike ride, novice, intermediate, advance, short, long, fast pace, leisure pace, free-ride, trail-ride, etc.)</span></p> <p><span>SBMG wants all its members to feel free to make ride event suggestions. Such suggestions can be novice leisure rides in a park or rail-trail (with picnic and frequent stops), intermediate-level day road rides, or advanced-skill mountain bike rides. Anyone can take the initiative to add bike-ride events to the calendar. And, this is the best way to get events that work for your personal schedule and skill level so you never have to ride alone.</span></p> <p><strong>Ideas for Meetups</strong></p> <p><span>We are interested in finding racers and triathlon riders that want to do a more rigorous training ride.  If you are interested in training with others then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is fast-paced and rigorous.</span></p> <p><span>We are have many members that want to meet up for local leisure exercise in local streets and parks.  Cycling is an ideal way to relieve the stress of the day and to get the 30 to 60 minutes of cardio recommended for a healthy life-style.  The</span> <span>SBMG forum is the ideal way to get the benefits of cycling while also forming a network of like-minded people to socialize with before, during and after the ride.</span> <span>If you are interested in daily exercise bike rides that are not rigorous training ride but more leisure in nature, maybe along the route to Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, or between Cummings Beach and Shippan Point in Stamford, or along Shore road in Old Greenwich, or where ever, then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is leisure-paced and exercise oriented.</span></p> <p><span>We are always looking for people to lead recreational rides throughout Connecticut and the neighboring states.  If you are interested in exploring the many bike routes and rail/trails in the area or doing multi-night bike touring others then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is leisure-paced and recreational in nature.</span></p> <p><span>Our most active group members are mountain bikers.  We have novice to advanced mountain bikers that post off-road rides, mostly in Mianus River Park on the Stamford, but if you are looking to meet up with people to ride other locations then we encourage you to post suggestions.   In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is off-road.  State the paced and style of your ride.  Use descriptors such as cross-country, trail, free-ride, and dirt jumping as these are well known terms.  Also, state if your ride suggestion is novice, intermediate, or advanced in nature.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><br> </span></p>

100046152 1551314 <p>Let's meet at Whole Foods in Tribeca and have some food, enjoy one another's company and ask some spiritual questions.</p> <p>I would like to hear a little about your dreams and intentions, what's valuable to you, what you would change in the world if you could, and other such questions.</p> <p>Please come upstairs at around 7.</p> <p>I hope you can make it!</p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">Bodhisattvas are all over New York City, but you wouldn't know it even if you met one. Why? Because a bodhisattva's intention to work for the benefit of others is held hidden in his/her heart.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">What is a bodhisattva? A bodhisattva is anyone who is motivated by compassion and seeks enlightenment not only for him/herself, but also for all beings everywhere.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">Are you a bodhisattva who would like to meet other bodhisattvas for friendship and business networking? Allow Bodhi Lounge to fulfill your need for a spiritual community (sangha) as well as an arena to chill out, relax, make new friends, and exchange business ideas and generate spontaneous alliances of all kinds!</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">I created this group because I found that there was a lack of Buddhist/spiritual meetups that incorporated the social/entrepreneurial element. There are plenty of groups that focus on meditation and discussion which are obviously important foundations for practice, but hanging out and having some fun outside the meditation hall is just as rewarding and important.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">As the name suggests, Bodhi Lounge is a social/entrepreneurial meetup for Buddhists, or anyone interested in meeting Buddhists and learning about Buddhism. That said, people of any faith or practice—or no spiritual practice—are all welcome! Let's all get along and learn from each other. I believe that our greatest teacher is the natural self-existing wisdom within ourselves, and any particular "ism" we subscribe to is just one path in many that takes us to the same awakened place. So let's meet and have a cheerful time making new friends and/or helping each other grow our businesses!</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">A genuine spiritual view is that there is no separation between the secular and sacred, mundane and profound. Contemplative walks, group picnics, dinners, movie nights, and any other events that will happen will... happen.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">If you can describe yourself as one or more of the following, this meetup is right for you:</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">• You're a Buddhist/spiritual person and want to meet other Buddhists/spiritual people for friendship and/or business networking.<br> • You have an interest in Buddhism and want to meet Buddhists and learn more about Buddhism in a relaxed, casual setting such as bars and other social venues.<br> • You're not necessarily spiritual, but would like to meet people who are.<br> • You want a place where you can mix spirituality with business and exploration.<br> • You just want to meet some cool people with open hearts and minds.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">May our group be of benefit to all beings!</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b"><br> </span></span></p>
100046762 2905472 <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.kissmedirty.com/brooklyn.html">Kiss Me Dirty</a></p> <p>WHAT DEFINES US: Attitude<br/>Kiss Me Dirty isn't defined by a particular obstacle, a certain city, or a charismatic founder. We're not just about fitness, or motivation, or making anyone "better." Kiss Me Dirty is 100% attitude. Our events are designed to get women off the couch, out of the house and having fun together. In groups. In costumes. In mud. We don't require training or any particular level of athleticism. Instead, we encourage women to "come as you are;" to get a little naughty and a lot muddy in the company of other women who want to let their hair down without the pressure to look or act any particular way. It can get a bit risque at times, but hey, it's all for a good cause: portion of proceeds benefits gynecological cancer research and treatment support.</p> <p><br/>WHAT GUIDES US: Experience<br/>This isn't our first rodeo, or our first mud obstacle event, for that matter. KMD knows what girls want: They want to spend their hard-earned cash on a muddy, foamy obstacle event that starts on time, brings together a crowd of fun girls (but not too big a crowd) runs over and under some really interesting obstacles, features a master of ceremonies who knows how to crank up the energy along with the music, flirts with bad taste and occasionally steps in it, and helps support a good cause. When it's all said and done, we're committed to helping today's stressed-out woman lose herself, along with her inhibitions, in a sea of mud, laughter, and girl power. And if, in the process, she actually manages to burn a few calories, well, why the hell not?</p> <p><br/>WHAT DRIVES US: Different<br/>Kiss Me Dirty wasn't the first muddy obstacle running event, and we won't be the last. What makes us stand out is that we focus our experience, passion, and rather unusual skills to make Kiss Me Dirty the funnest, muddiest, naughtiest way a bunch of uninhibited girls can let their hair down on a weekend morning, somewhere in America. After all, girls can't really have fun unless things get a bit out of hand, right? And we won't be successful unless we provide just the right combination of energy, attitude, and value in a setting that gives every participant the freedom to express her individuality and her wild side. Bold? Sure. Naughty? Always. Different? Every time. After all, women aren't "one size fits all," so why should Kiss Me Dirty?</p> <p><span style="font-size : small">Mud Squad is for people who enjoy fitness, fun, and an active lifestyle.

It is a sultry mixture contemporary jazz, funk, and R&amp;B with hints of gospel. Nephew of trumpeter Donald Byrd, Bugnon grew up going to the Montreux Jazz Festival in his hometown in Switzerland. Playing classical piano starting at age 6, the young musician attended the Paris Conservatory of Music for two years, before moving to the U.S. to attend the Berklee School of Music. He spent four years working as a session musician in New York, backing urban and jazz performers such as Patti Austin, Freddie Jackson, James Ingram, and Keith Sweat. Signed to Orpheus Records, he released his debut album, Love Season, in 1989. It reached the pop charts and the Top 40 of the R&amp;B charts, as did its follow-up, 1990’s Head Over Heels. The subsequent three album releases all placed in the R&amp;B charts and after five years away from recording under his own name, Bugnon signed to the jazz division of Narada Records, and his sixth album, Alex Bugnon…As Promised, reached the contemporary jazz charts. He followed in 2001 with Soul Purpose. His latest album, FREE, reunites him with Atlanta based keyboardist and producer Phil Davis. This album is a refreshing blend of exotic rhythms with haunting, soulful melodies and the signature Alex Bugnon piano sound.</p> <p><br/><b>PAUL TAYLOR</b></p> <p>The unstoppable phenomenon of saxophonist Paul Taylor reached a fever pitch in 2004—“Steppin’ Out,” the irrepressible title track from his 2003 Top Ten Billboard Contemporary Jazz album, became Radio &amp; Records’ third biggest genre airplay cut of the year. He then toured the U.S. as a featured performer with the all-star “Groovin’ For Grover” lineup (including Jeff Lorber, Richard Elliot and Gerald Albright). In 2005, Taylor celebrated ten years since the release of his debut album On The Horn with his fourth Peak Records recording Nightlife—an ultra-seductive soul jazz date featuring more of the irresistible elements that made Steppin’ Out an urban instrumental classic: unforgettable hooks, funky alto sax in addition to his well known soprano, explosive grooves and live, sizzling horn textures.<br/>Paul Taylor grew up in Denver, where he took up the saxophone at the age of seven. He played in school bands, and in high school joined a Top 40 band called Mixed Company. Jazz keyboardist Keiko Matsui and her husband, producer Kazu Matsui, discovered him playing at the Catalina Island Jazz Festival and hired him to play in their band. He spent two years with them, and then Kazu Matsui produced his 1995 debut album, On the Horn, which reached the jazz charts and spawned a radio hit in “Til We Meet Again.” Pleasure Seeker, his second album, followed in 1997 and was equally successful. Taylor quickly found his own niche in the smooth jazz world, and after over a decade of musical success, he continues to share his talents on tour</p> <p>This is going to be a fantastic show, Kool Katz, so hope you decide to go see Alex Bugnon and Paul Taylor on Wednesday, July 8, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. The Smooth Cruises sell out fast, so please purchase your tickets as soon as possible either online at <a href="http://smoothjazznewyork.com"><a href="http://smoothjazznewy" class="linkified">http://smoothjazznewy</a>...</a> or www.spiritofnewyork.com/ny/jazz_cruise.jsp or call[masked]-3812.</p> <p>As always, Kool Katz, please RSVP wheher or not you will be attending and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.</p> <p>Be well, stay blessed!</p> <p>Peace &amp; Luv<br/>Karen</p> <p>Are you a lover of Smooth Jazz? Straight Ahead Jazz? or Latin Jazz?

Butler has enjoyed a following since the late ’70s and he continues to tour and record in the 21st century. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, in October 1961, Butler was only a child when he started singing and playing acoustic guitar. Butler, who was the youngest of 12 children, absorbed a variety of music when he was a kid. He was an admirer of South African stars like singer Miriam Makeba, but he was also hip to the American soul and jazz artists who lived thousands of miles away in the United States. Stevie Wonder and George Benson became major influences.</p> <p>Butler was just a teenager when British producer Clive Calder signed him to the London-based Jive Records in 1977; Introducing Jonathan Butler, his largely instrumental debut album, was released that year and employed Bob Cranshaw (who is best known for his long association with Sonny Rollins) on bass. At the time, Butler was often compared to Benson, a man who, like Butler, has been praised for both his singing and his guitar playing. It wasn’t long before the teenage Butler won a Sarie Award, which is the South African equivalent of an American Grammy or a Canadian Juno Award.</p> <p>But Butler didn’t remain in South Africa much longer; in the early ‘80s, he escaped from apartheid and moved to England (where Jive’s main office was located, and where Butler remained for 17 years before moving to Los Angeles). Butler maintained a loyal following in the ‘80s and ’90s, not only in his native South Africa, but also, in the U.S. and Europe. One of his biggest releases came in 1987, when Jive released a self-titled album that contained a hit cover of the Staple Singers’ “If You’re Ready (Come With Me).” Butler’s next Jive album, 1988’s More Than Friends, was also a big seller; that CD gave us the major hits “Lies” (which was nominated for a Grammy) and “Sarah, Sarah.” Butler continued to record for Jive in the early ‘90s; then, in the late ’90s and early 2000s, he provided three albums for N-Coded Music: 1997’s Do You Love Me?, 1999’s Story of Life, and 2000’s The Source. After that, Butler left N-Coded and moved to Warner Bros., which released Surrender in June 2002. His most recent release, Brand New Day (2007), focuses his talent and voice on the world.</p> <p>This is going to be a fantastic show, Kool Katz, so hope you decide to go see Jonathan Buter on Wednesday, July 29, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. The Smooth Cruises sell out fast, so please purchase your tickets as soon as possible either online at <a href="http://smoothjazznewyork.com"><a href="http://smoothjazznewy" class="linkified">http://smoothjazznewy</a>...</a> or www.spiritofnewyork.com/ny/jazz_cruise.jsp or call[masked]-3812.</p> <p>As always, Kool Katz, please RSVP whether or not you will be attending and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.</p> <p>Be well, stay blessed!</p> <p>Peace and Luv<br/>Karen</p> <p>Are you a lover of Smooth Jazz? Straight Ahead Jazz? or Latin Jazz?

Your punctuality is greatly appreciated.</p> <p><b>Transportation</b><br/>Turtle Bay Music School is located on 52nd Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues.<br/>Subway:<br/>E and V trains to Lexington Avenue (53rd Street station)<br/>6 train to 51st Street (Lexington Avenue station)</p> <p>Bus:<br/>M15 on Second Avenue to 52nd Street<br/>M101, M102, and M103 on Third Avenue to 52nd Street<br/>M27 and M50 on 49th and 50th Streets to Second Avenue</p> <p><b>Contributions</b><br/>We suggest a $5.00 contribution per person, to be directly applied towards payment of the hall rental. Contributions are voluntary, and any amount is greatly appreciated.</p> <p><b>For Performers (Please read the Performance Tips page on the ACMA website)</b>:<br/>· What is the climax (high point) of your piece? Every musical and dramatic work takes its audience on a journey, generally consisting of the following elements:<br/><b>Introduction and elaboration</b>: The central melodic theme is introduced and often repeated, in identical fashion or with variation.<br/><b>Climax</b>: The highest emotional point of the work, usually occurring 2/3 to ¾ into the piece. Requires maximum expression and melodic emphasis to evoke a desired reaction or response from the audience. Also considered a reward point, or “tension release” for the audience.<br/><b>Resolution</b>: The conclusion of the piece, during which all unresolved musical elements are resolved in a decisive manner.<br/>· Entertain your audience: Great entertainers (actors, singers, etc.) put their unique personality into every performance. If you want to make a memorable impression upon your audience, introduce a new, unique perspective on your piece. Once you truly “own” your piece, it should carry the inimitable stamp of your personality, but also sound as if it is being performed for the first time.<br/>· Select pieces that are personally meaningful to you, and allow for your maximum expression as a performer and entertainer.<br/>· If you wish to “warm up” before the meeting, I will open the hall at approximately 3:30 p.m. Please be mindful of your fellow performers, and limit your piano practice time to 3 minutes.<br/>· Performances do not have to be memorized, or note-perfect. However, as a courtesy to your audience, please present a work that you have studied attentively, and can play to its completion.<br/>· If you make a mistake during your performance, please continue to play without stopping. Apologizing, repeating a previously played section, or stopping will only call more attention to your mistake.</p> <p>If you have any questions, please e-mail or call me at[masked]-8565.<br/>Best regards,<br/>Alberto De Salas<br/>Amateur Classical Musician's Association<br/>website: www.nycclassical.com<br/>e-mail: [masked]</p> <p>The Amateur Classical Musicians Association (ACMA) is dedicated to providing opportunities for the non-professional classical musician to perform and network with fellow amateurs. Our members gather in Manhattan on a monthly basis to: * perform short pieces of classical music in front of an audience of fellow amateurs * network and socialize with fellow amateur musicians from all walks of life * collaborate with fellow members on works of music to be performed at future gatherings ACMA is dedicated to encourage the refinement of musical performance technique, regardless of proficiency level. We believe this aim is best achieved by providing opportunities for nonprofessional classical musicians to perform solo and group works in front of a supportive audience. Instead of technical perfection, we emphasize the need for meaningful, inspired performances that are mutually satisfying for both audience and performer. ACMA recognizes the talent and dedication of the amateur classical musician, and is committed to help its members discover the joy of public performance. We look forward to meeting you! Please visit us at: www.nycclassical.com, or e-mail us at:acma@nycclassical.com Best wishes, Alberto</p>

Thanks to smooth jazz format’s affinity these days for instrumental cover songs, two of the incredible 13 #1 Radio &amp; Records airplay hits he’s enjoyed over the years, “The Closer I Get to You” and “Walk On By” (from 1994’s Reflections), have become enduring staples of the format. White’s recent rediscovery of the original demos from that hit project sparked a rekindling of the retro flame that inspired him to once again start Playin’ Favorites (2006) on his latest disc for Sony Legacy.</p> <p><b>MINDI ABAIR</b></p> <p>Born on tour into a musical family, Mindi Abair was playing piano by the age of five. Within three years, she was playing saxophone and writing songs. She made her way through Berklee performing all kinds of music from jazz to rock and R&amp;B. Upon moving back to Los Angeles, Abair started her own band. She also took on session work with artists as diverse as the Gap Band, Adam Sandler, Mandy Moore, John Tesh, Teena Marie, and the Backstreet Boys. During this time, she worked on creating her own sound and released her debut disc in 1999. The year 2000 saw the release of the follow-up, Always and Never the Same, and shortly thereafter Abair signed with GRP Records. A sophomore effort, It Just Happens That Way, was issued in 2003. “Lucy’s,” “Save the Last Dance,” and the album’s title track went on to impact Top Ten radio. A year later, Abair returned with Come as You Are, her second set produced with her writing partner, Matthew Hager. In 2006, Abair released Life Less Ordinary, which featured guest vocals from Lalah Hathaway and Keb’ Mo’, and also performed at the Governors Ball, the official Oscars afterparty. 2008 saw a return to Abair’s solo material (and an introduction to Abair as a singer) with Stars.</p> <p>This is going to be a fantastic show, Kool Katz, so hope you decide to go see Peter White and Mindy Abair on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. The Smooth Cruises sell out fast, so please purchase your tickets as soon as possible either online at <a href="http://smoothjazznewyork.com"><a href="http://smoothjazznewy" class="linkified">http://smoothjazznewy</a>...</a> or www.spiritofnewyork.com/ny/jazz_cruise.jsp or call[masked]-3812.</p> <p>As always, Kool Katz, please RSVP whether or not you will be attending and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.</p> <p>Be well, stay blessed!</p> <p>Peace &amp; Luv<br/>Karen</p> <p>Are you a lover of Smooth Jazz? Straight Ahead Jazz? or Latin Jazz?

Originally somewhat jazz-oriented, Pieces of a Dream have mostly emphasized R&amp;B, although they usually include a few jazz numbers in their performances. Grover Washington, Jr. produced their first three albums (all for Elektra during[masked]); they have since recorded for Manhattan and Blue Note. Saxophonist Ron Kerber became a member in the 1990s, preceding the four varied releases that appeared throughout the decade. A collection appeared at the turn of the century, but the band proved to still be going strong with 2001’s Acquainted with the Night and 2002’s Love’s Silhouette. No Assembly Required was released in 2004 on Cleveland’s Heads Up label, followed by 2006’s Pillow Talk, also on Heads Up.</p> <p>This is going to be a fantastic show, Kool Katz, so hope you decide to go see Pieces of A Dream on Wednesday, September 2, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. The Smooth Cruises sell out fast, so please purchase your tickets as soon as possible either online at <a href="http://smoothjazznewyork.com"><a href="http://smoothjazznewy" class="linkified">http://smoothjazznewy</a>...</a> or www.spiritofnewyork.com/ny/jazz_cruise.jsp or call[masked]-3812.</p> <p>As always, Kool Katz, please RSVP whether or not you will be attending and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.</p> <p>Be well, stay blessed!</p> <p>Peace and Luv<br/>Karen</p> <p>Are you a lover of Smooth Jazz? Straight Ahead Jazz? or Latin Jazz?

10005768 918090 <p>Many of you joined this group with the intention of finding others to play chamber music with. To date, we have an impressive 107 musicians in our group (ranging from beginner to professional, with most falling into the advanced category). As promised, we are having an initial informal social so that all the musicians who are dying to play chamber music with others can meet, mingle and at least see what's "out there" and begin the process of creating groups!</p> <p><b>If you are interested in playing chamber music, then please RSVP as soon as possible.</b></p> <p>We've also created a questionnaire which can be accessed in the "Files" on the left column of our site. If you are a musician planning to attend the social, then please fill this out the questionnaire and e-mail it back to Jane at [masked] by Saturday, March 28th. If you can't fill it out in advance, then please do so before the social and bring it with you. The more questionnaires we have in advance, the more productive the social can be.</p> <p>Our goal is NOT to put anyone in or create specific chamber groups, but to help members kick start his or her search and make it easier to initiate communication with other members who you also know have a desire to play chamber music! If we get enough responses, we will try to introduce you to others of similar level, who have a similar desire to work on specific pieces/chamber groupings, etc.</p> <p>We hope that through this event you’ll leave with a few “leads,” and soon after that be on your way to playing chamber music!!</p> <p> <b>WHEN:</b> April 4, 2009</p> <p><b>TIME:</b> 4PM - 6PM</p> <p><b>WHERE:</b> Barcibo Enoteca<br/>2020 Broadway (at West 69th Street)<br/>New York, NY 10023</p> <p>If you cannot attend on April 4, please RSVP "No" with a comment expressing your interest in playing and attending a future social.</p> <p>If you are not a musician but wish to stop by for a drink and hang out anyways, you are most welcome to join us!!!</p> <p>Jane and Mary</p> <p>Meet young chamber music enthusiasts, find others with whom to play and sightread and take advantage of all NYC has to offer in this most intimate and expressive of musical genres! We'll check out performances together in a variety of settings and gain insights into chamber music through lectures, panel discussions, master classes and movies -- as well as from each other over drinks and small, informal social gatherings -- all while making new friends. Open to everyone interested in chamber music (even if you don't know what it is . . . yet!:o))</p>

10006000 37146 <p>We're coming up on the Next Chicago Comic Book Meetup!</p> <p>Come on over. You'll be glad you did. No comics knowledge needed because we have more than enough opinions to make up for it.</p> <p> The Comics Meetup is once again in our new-ish brick and mortar retail space:</p> <p>Third Coast Comics<br/>6234 N. Broadway<br/>Chicago, IL 60660</p> <p><br/>Bring whatever comics you like because there is a story behind every one of them and we really want to hear it. If you don't know it, we'll just make it up!</p> <p>I want to go with a Green theme of a different nature. Why Not?</p> <p>Comics involving anything Environmental!</p> <p>You could also just bring any comics you'd like to share because they just hit you in a certain place.</p> <p>I would like to put a cap on how many comics a person can bring at <b>5</b>. Even I can keep to this and if I can do it, anything is possible.</p> <p><br/>Terry</p> <p>PS: Our new space has to be BYOB as well as BYOF only because we're a comics shop and not really a restaurant.</p> <p>By the time meetup is here, we'll have a healthy (meaning sizable) amount of choices for you.</p> <p>This comic book meetup group is a place where comics fans of all types and interests can have comics related conversation. Every month the meetup has a different theme and members are encouraged (but in no way required) to bring comics related to that theme. It's organized by the guys that run Third Coast Comics http://www.thirdcoastcomics.com but we use the term "Organized" very loosely. It's more fun that Silver Age Jimmy Olsen stories! We talk everything from Crazy Bob Haney to the Birth of the Silver Age to What made the Micronauts cool to indie comics to the implosion of the 90s to Crisis to Cival War to Small Press Wars. Stop on in!!!</p>

Visit the Saint online for all upcoming shows and events.</p> <p>The Light of Day concert series is now in its 13th year. What began as a single concert at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey has grown into 35 shows in twelve countries in the U.S., Canada and Europe. This year Light of Day concerts in Asbury Park, New Jersey will take place from Thursday.

This year’s events in Asbury Park will kick off with a Rock ‘n’ Bowl night at Asbury Lanes through Monday morning’s Light of Day Brunch. In between there will be multiple events scheduled each day and evening at venues including the Stone Pony, the Wonder Bar, the Saint, the Paramount , McLoone’s Ocean Grille, the Langosta Lounge and Watermark. </p> <p>The funds raised are donated to help the fight against Parkinson's disease and related illnesses by funding research into better treatments, cures and support for patients suffering from Parkinson's disease and related illnesses. The Asbury Park shows in 2012 raised nearly $300,000.</p> This group is for people like me, whose spirits are lifted after going out and hearing good music and sharing time with like minded individuals. I started this group to find other music lovers in NJ. Most of the groups that I was searching for were in NYC. I wanted to highlight the people and places that play the kind of music you have to dig deep for. Everyone has their own defintion of good music. Here is mine: Soulful/afro house, afrobeat, Funk/Soul(james brown to sharon jones), 50's RB/rock, garage, punk(the screeching weasel,ramones),Raggae,Hip Hop(de la soul to anti pop consortium),salsa,boogaloo,flamenco, jazz and blues. There is so much music out in the world, but many never know because they listen to commercial radio or commercial dj's. They will only hear the same three songs and never be educated on the real expanse of music out that's out there . I am a huge fan of WFMU.org, 91.1 on the radio dial. They are a freeform listener supported radio station that plays different kinds of music. They play the music they want, not what is determined by what sells. Venues that I like are Maxwells in Hoboken, local bars in the Newark Area and Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park. The purpose of this meetup is to bring together the people that enjoy learning new things and have a passion for music. If you are interested in meeting music lovers like yourself, join us!

We will play the rhythms and sounds of ancient &amp; modern tribes, aboriginal groups and devotional music. The musicians will play music, while the artists are welcome to paint or sculpt their visions. The chanters will immerse their vocals to the ethnic vibes while the dancers will move their bodies beautifully. Some of the various sounds will come from Native American flutes, Australian didgeridoos, Arab hand drums &amp; ouds, harmonicas, Celtic fiddles &amp; whistles, guitars, electronic beats, Indian tablas, tanpuras, and African drums of all sorts.</p> <p>We will also collaborate with a Kirtan (Devotional Chanting to Indian deities) group in the city and create smooth fusions in powerful meditative states. As we approach the Golden Age of truth, we will come together to awaken our minds and spirits by activating our Chakras, while continuing the process of rising our Kundalini. Each meet up will be a declaration to world peace as we meditate into a trance jam.</p> <p>We encourage our participants to take active roles by bringing new ideas to explore in the group. If you want to meet new people with spiritual and tribal interests and backgrounds and integrate your own creative spirit come join us at our next Meet Up.</p>

I'm using the vast amount of Japanese pubs in the NYC area to recreate typical nights in Tokyo. Whats better then taking a couple hours to share some drinks and Japanese small plates and forget about the outside world with a good group? Maybe after we can belt out some tunes at a Karaoke house, or play some billiards, or go to another Izakaya?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">Also, this group has become very diverse in the events we hold. Outside of weekly happy hours and weekend Izakaya hang outs we have participated in a wide variety of other cool, Japanese-centric things. Some of the events we have attended include:</span></p> <ul> <li>Japan Block Fair</li> <li>Concerts (Japanese)</li> <li>Ramen Contests</li> <li>Sake/Shochu Tastings</li> <li>Japanese food fairs and tasting events.</li> <li>Trips to the Japanese market.</li> <li>Other Asian restaurants.</li> <li>Izakaya crawls.</li> <li>Asian film festivals.</li> </ul> <p><strong><em>"Is this a Japanese food club?"</em></strong></p> <p>No not exactly. Actually in Izakayas the spirits get the spot light. The food is complimentary to the sake, shochu, and beer. That doesn't mean you need to be a raging alcoholic to join. I myself am not a big drinker. But this is a pub based group. Still Japanese food lovers should do OK with this group too as we have visited many Japanese restaurants. I also like to include some nightlife when the group is not ready to go home. Its not unusual to end up singing karaoke, shooting pool, or finding a roof top bar and enjoy the view.</p> <p>I hope this explains the group. If you have any questions, suggestions, event ideas, or Izakayas you want to visit let me know!</p> <p><em>-Cory</em></p> <p> </p> <p><object width="420" height="315"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0A2Ffi7O0FU?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" style="margin : 5px ; max-width : 700px ; max-height : 700px"></object></p> <p><strong>*Anti Flake Policy*</strong> If you RSVP to an event and are a no-show, you are subject to removal from the group.

We intend to foster self pride in these young Men of Color so they will recognize the power of their self - image, and ultimately, make better life choices by implementing the following strategies: Strategies We overwhelm the young men with images of strong, educated, articulate, well groomed Men of Color to combat the negative stereotypes seen in their environment. We teach the young men the power and importance of a strong self image through personal stories from positive influential Men of Color. We teach them to “tie a tie” as a ritualistic right of passage which will ignite personal pride in appearances and build inner self esteem. We have each young man recite the Tied to Greatness Pledge whereby they commit themselves to finish their education, live a better life, and be more conscious of thier image. We provide each young man with a copy of the pledge and a tie that they can keep for future special events. We provide a copy of, Restoring the Male Image, as a reference book to reiterate all that they have learned that day. The Tied To Greatness National Tour is an outreach program that seeks to improve the self-image and esteem of at-risk, inner city high school males. With an average of just 35% of inner city males graduating from high school, Tied To Greatness uses the power of positive male role models, the influence of fashion, and the symbolism of the necktie as a point of manhood and maturity to remind young men about the importance of personal image, and to encourage each participant to make different choices about his future. The Tied To Greatness National Tour travels to cities and host 3-hour local presentations to at risk high school males, with the vision of inspiring a generation through personal touch and principled based dialogue. This is an initiative to reconnect young men of color to their rich history of men who dressed well, carried themselves with dignity, and accomplished great things in society.</p> <p style="text-align : center"><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : medium"><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/b/b/e/event_320407102.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px"></span></p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : medium">The New York Black Business Network, New York Black Expo and the New York Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce created this meetup group with the purpose of organizing a city wide network of business owners and entrepreneurs.

With seductive clouds and a tempting noSQL, many see the relationship of these long-time love birds on the rocks.</p> <p>But this February, matchmakers NYPHP and MySQL author and expert Ronald Bradford are here to help work things out with a look at MySQL's latest token of affection, mysqlnd - and ensuring that this romance novel, has a happy ending.</p> <p>We all connect to MySQL in PHP using the various flavors of drivers, including mysql and mysqli. Available in PHP 5.3, the mysqlnd replaces these under the covers and is the default in 5.4. The standard functions to query, execute and retrieve remain, however a whole new set of hidden features are now included with mysqlnd extensions. In this presentation we will discuss a few including:</p> <p>Read/Write splitting<br/>Load Balancing<br/>Master/Slave failover<br/>Persistent Connections<br/>Monitoring Techniques</p> <p>Ronald Bradford has worked with relational databases for 24 years.

100067682 1334949 <p>THE NEW DATE FOR THIS PREVIOUSLY POSTPONED EVENT is FRI FEB 22</p> <p>While Part 1 had to be cancelled, Part 2 should breeze right along! Time for another two-part theme! In the recent past, we've partnered visits to Trinity and Grace churches and to the homes of onetime partners then bitter foes, Frick and Carnegie. <b>This time, we'll be looking at two titans of 20th-century art who were friends but also rivals, Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, by taking advantage of two major exhibitions, one of Picasso at the Guggenheim, and the other of Matisse at the Met Museum.</b></p> <p>Let's visit the Met Museum for the second installment of our two-parter, "Matisse: In Search of True Painting".</p> <p><b>Note: You do NOT have to rsvp for both events. Each is its own event in its own right.</b></p> <p>Here's an excerpt from the website: "Henri Matisse (1869–1954) was one of the most acclaimed artists working in France during the first half of the twentieth century....  Unbeknownst to many, painting had rarely come easily to Matisse. Throughout his career, he questioned, repainted, and reevaluated his work. <b>He used his completed canvases as tools, repeating compositions in order to compare effects, gauge his progress, and, as he put it, "push further and deeper into true painting."</b> While this manner of working with pairs, trios, and series is certainly not unique to Matisse, his need to progress methodically from one painting to the next is striking. <b><i>Matisse: In Search of True Painting</i> presents this particular aspect of Matisse's painting process by showcasing forty-nine vibrantly colored canvases.</b> For Matisse, the process of creation was not simply a means to an end but a dimension of his art that was as important as the finished canvas."  The emphasis on "vibrantly colored canvases" in this show should be a good foil to the black-and-whites of the Picasso show!</p> <p><b><i>How to meet us</i>:</b> I'll be sitting on the lobby benches near the entrance to the Greco-Roman wing on the first floor of The Met, holding my hand-scrawled MEETUP sign. Please meet us by 7pm. If you're late, ask a guard to direct you to the Matisse exhibit.</p> <p><b><i>Admission</i>:</b> There is a suggested admission of $20 to enter the Met itself, but it is actually pay-what-you-will. That means pay what you want at the door, but you must pay something. <b>We do also have our own $1 fee to help defray the costs of maintaining this meetup group, payable to the organizer.<br/></b></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><strong>Did you know it was native son Washington Irving who first dubbed New York City “Gotham”,</strong> a century before a certain superhero and his crime-ridden hometown were even thought of? Yes, Gotham is our city, our hometown, whether by birth or adoption! So let’s see the sites that make Gotham aka New York City so unique in the world. We go to exhibits and concerts at museums and unusual venues in the city, some famous, like the Metropolitan Museum, and others a little more off the beaten track, like the Merchant’s House Museum. Whether large or small, they’re all New York—come on along with us on the journey!</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><strong>Our event size is intentionally smaller for two reasons.</strong> First, it's so that all of us in attendance can interact and get to know each other. Second, lecture or film events at these venues usually have very limited seating, meaning I have to get there early and hold the number of seats we need, often against very aggressive people. That means we really need to have an accurate count for our rsvps, especially since our events almost always have a waiting list. <strong>If for whatever reason after you have rsvp'd yes, your plans change and you cannot attend, please change your rsvp as early as possible</strong> both so that those on the waiting list can get a seat at an event, and so I know when all attendees are assembled and can relax my stance against "aggressors". Also, <strong>because the total number of rsvps is so small, on most events there will not be an option to bring a guest. This is because some no-shows had "guests", which really cut into attendance.</strong> Tell your friends to sign up as members themselves if they want to come!</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><strong>Similar to most meetups, "Great Places in Gotham" has a modest $1 organizing fee per event,</strong> payable to me at the start of an event, to offset the subscription cost of maintaining the meetup. Please be sure to read our policy about "no-shows" in the About section, so that we can all enjoy these great places with a minimum of discomfort.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000">Please note: Because we've been kept waiting in lobbies, etc., for folks who didn't bother to change their rsvps, <strong>Great Places in Gotham has a "no-show" policy,</strong> retroactive to February 22, 2009, where any member who incurs ONE no-show with no explanatory emails to me will be permanently removed from our membership rolls and not be allowed to rsvp for any more of our events. After all, would you keep a "friend" who stood you up and never apologized?</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><strong>Like what you see about "Great Places in Gotham"?</strong> Then consider joining our sister group,</span> <span style="color : #000000">Friendly Native New Yorker Walking Tours! </span> (  <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Friendly-Native-New-Yorker-Walking-Tours/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/Friendly-Native...</a> ) </p> <p><br> <br> </p>

10006995 1299276 <p>The first poetry slam ever in New York City was held at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in 1989, and 20 years later, they've become part of the cultural history of this city, still going strong. Today's Nuyorican Poetry Slam is the result of their tradition of talented hosts, amazing performers and heart-stopping performances.</p> <p>The poetry slam starts at 10p, but is pretty popular and fills up fast (suggested arrival latest 9:15pm), so we'll be there half an hour earlier to ensure entrance.<br/>Admission is $10.</p> <p>*After the Poetry Slam&gt; is something called "The Open Room"<br/>-- Free if you stay after the Slam<br/>The Open Room is a Nuyorican poetic institution that happens right after the Friday Night Poetry Slam. Anyone can read one poem at the mic and every kind of poet and poetry is welcome. There are no judges and no numbers.</p> <p>Please try to arrive on time.</p> Hello 1001ers I thought it would be really fun to put together a list of 1001 really special "NYC" only activities that are true to the character of this city. Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

100070872 1425341 <p>Sunday Platform: "What We Live For"<br/>With Bart Worden, Executive director of the American Ethical Union</p> <p><br/>Felix Adler, Ethical Culture’s founder, said in his inaugural address, “There is a great and crying evil in modern society. It is want of purpose. It is that narrowness of vision which shuts out the wider vistas of the soul. It is the absence of those sublime emotions which, wherever they arise, do not fail to exalt and consecrate existence.” His hope was that Ethical Societies would inspire people to a deep purposefulness, an expansive vision of humanity and a passion for realizing each person’s worth and dignity. This would lead us toward a richly humane and just society. How well does Adler’s concern reflect our concerns today? Bart Worden is Executive Director of the American Ethical Union, and clergy leader of the Westchester Ethical Society.</p> <p><br/>1pm: Conversation with Bart Worden. Come discuss the AEU’s new executive director role, share our happenings at BSEC and our plans for the future.</p> <p>Explore a humanist community of freethinking people who focus on personal growth, social progress and compassionate relationships.</p> <p>Maybe you're one of those people who sits in a church pew on Sundays thinking to themselves, "I don't believe this anymore."

We intend to foster self pride in these young Men of Color so they will recognize the power of their self - image, and ultimately, make better life choices by implementing the following strategies: Strategies We overwhelm the young men with images of strong, educated, articulate, well groomed Men of Color to combat the negative stereotypes seen in their environment. We teach the young men the power and importance of a strong self image through personal stories from positive influential Men of Color. We teach them to “tie a tie” as a ritualistic right of passage which will ignite personal pride in appearances and build inner self esteem. We have each young man recite the Tied to Greatness Pledge whereby they commit themselves to finish their education, live a better life, and be more conscious of thier image. We provide each young man with a copy of the pledge and a tie that they can keep for future special events. We provide a copy of, Restoring the Male Image, as a reference book to reiterate all that they have learned that day. The Tied To Greatness National Tour is an outreach program that seeks to improve the self-image and esteem of at-risk, inner city high school males. With an average of just 35% of inner city males graduating from high school, Tied To Greatness uses the power of positive male role models, the influence of fashion, and the symbolism of the necktie as a point of manhood and maturity to remind young men about the importance of personal image, and to encourage each participant to make different choices about his future. The Tied To Greatness National Tour travels to cities and host 3-hour local presentations to at risk high school males, with the vision of inspiring a generation through personal touch and principled based dialogue. This is an initiative to reconnect young men of color to their rich history of men who dressed well, carried themselves with dignity, and accomplished great things in society.</p> <p style="text-align : center"><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : medium"><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/b/b/e/event_320407102.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px"></span></p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : medium">The New York Black Business Network, New York Black Expo and the New York Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce created this meetup group with the purpose of organizing a city wide network of business owners and entrepreneurs.

Do you enjoy meeting new people, and making new friends? Do you love making a difference? If this sounds like you, then you have come to the right place!</p> <p>This group is for young professional women, in their 20-30's, who are confident, fun, and love being a woman (and all its perks! ;) ). You can be single or coupled, new to NY or born and raised here, but ultimately a chic chick that loves to have a good time!</p> <p>What I want this group to be about are three things:</p> <p>1. Going to great events, such as beautiful lounges/clubs, red carpet screenings, launch events, cocktail receptions/opening nights, cultural events, or any other event where we can See or Be Seen, mix, mingle, and network with those in all different industries. Basically, any occasion to get dolled up, and put on a cute outfit!</p> <p>2. Establishing great friendships. I figure if we are like minded, totally normal females, we shouldn't have any trouble making some great connections. We can do that by doing brunch, happy hours, spa days, and anything else we feel like. This is our group, we can do what we want!</p> <p>3. Getting involved in making a difference. I have this dying need to get involved in the community, raise money for charities, and just help out those in need. I would love to plan events for a specific cause, or work with other organizations to reach a goal. And ideally, maybe even start a NPO. The possibilities are endless!</p> <p>If this is what you are looking for, I would absolutely love it if you joined this group. So if you like to See or be Seen, you might as well do so while making a difference!</p>

His mastery of the cimbalom, a unique and rare Hungarian folk instrument like an oversized hammer dulcimer played with mallets, has mesmerized audiences all over the world. Balogh continues a fabled European musical tradition harking back to the collaboration of masters like gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli, connecting the ancient folk music traditions of Central and Eastern Europe with the chord progressions and swing of jazz. Melodies, which have been polished in European villages for centuries, are interpreted with great respect and understanding by The Gypsy Cimbalom Band leaving audiences enthralled and inspired.</p> <p>Los Nopales:</p> <p>Nopales means cactus and it is the star at Los Nopales Authentic Mexican Restaurant. You will find it as a salad taming the heat of the el camarones en chipotle, as a refreshing accompaniment to the pork tenderloin and studding the plate of the daily specials.</p> <p>Located in Chicago's Lincoln Square, Los Nopales Authentic Mexican Restaurant is a homey storefront nestled on busy Western Avenue. It has been a favorite dining destination since it opened its doors in April of 2005. Using only freshest ingredients, Los Nopales offers a full menu of delicious Mexican recipes, popular house specialties and luscious desserts.</p> <p>The cuisine we offer on our menu is both classic and updated preparations of the regional dishes of Mexico. Classic moles, braised and slow roasted meats in traditional marinades, tangy ceviche, fresh guacamole, creamy flan, are all examples of the colorful flavors of Mexico that we serve.</p> <p>Menu <a href="http://www.losnopalesrestaurant.com/menu.html"><a href="http://www.losnopales" class="linkified">http://www.losnopales</a>...</a></p> <p>Started out as a seasonal group, to pass the winter with new friends out and about at dining and cultural events in the city. By popular demand, the season has been extended! The group is centered around dining in Chicago, but extends to other cultural social events in the city. The dining focus is on finding the best combination of fine food at prices reasonable enough to attend these as often as you can. That means a selection of BYOB's, events on specials night at some of the best restaurants in the city, an Around the World in Chicago dinner series highlighting new ethnic restaurants, and then some events that have less to do with food and more about exploring culture in Chicago! Come discover new restaurants, enjoy delicious meals and make satisfying conversation with friendly dinner companions. It's a big dinner table and all are welcome!</p>

I'm using the vast amount of Japanese pubs in the NYC area to recreate typical nights in Tokyo. Whats better then taking a couple hours to share some drinks and Japanese small plates and forget about the outside world with a good group? Maybe after we can belt out some tunes at a Karaoke house, or play some billiards, or go to another Izakaya?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">Also, this group has become very diverse in the events we hold. Outside of weekly happy hours and weekend Izakaya hang outs we have participated in a wide variety of other cool, Japanese-centric things. Some of the events we have attended include:</span></p> <ul> <li>Japan Block Fair</li> <li>Concerts (Japanese)</li> <li>Ramen Contests</li> <li>Sake/Shochu Tastings</li> <li>Japanese food fairs and tasting events.</li> <li>Trips to the Japanese market.</li> <li>Other Asian restaurants.</li> <li>Izakaya crawls.</li> <li>Asian film festivals.</li> </ul> <p><strong><em>"Is this a Japanese food club?"</em></strong></p> <p>No not exactly. Actually in Izakayas the spirits get the spot light. The food is complimentary to the sake, shochu, and beer. That doesn't mean you need to be a raging alcoholic to join. I myself am not a big drinker. But this is a pub based group. Still Japanese food lovers should do OK with this group too as we have visited many Japanese restaurants. I also like to include some nightlife when the group is not ready to go home. Its not unusual to end up singing karaoke, shooting pool, or finding a roof top bar and enjoy the view.</p> <p>I hope this explains the group. If you have any questions, suggestions, event ideas, or Izakayas you want to visit let me know!</p> <p><em>-Cory</em></p> <p> </p> <p><object width="420" height="315"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0A2Ffi7O0FU?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" style="margin : 5px ; max-width : 700px ; max-height : 700px"></object></p> <p><strong>*Anti Flake Policy*</strong> If you RSVP to an event and are a no-show, you are subject to removal from the group.

The game is played with about 6 players. One person takes the role of storyteller, AKA the Dungeon Master, and narrates the story in a medieval fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, romance, intrigue, and adventure. The rest of the players take on the roles of individual fictional characters and explore that world, often becoming heroes in the story. The story is like a completely interactive "choose your own adventure" book. Different shaped dice are used to determine the outcome of attempted actions.</p> <p>Scheduling games of D&amp;D is a little more complicated than just showing up for a game. There are three different ways people assemble to play D&amp;D.</p> <ol> <li>We have the "open to all" meetups that are on the first Saturday of the month in Manhattan and the third Sunday of the month in Brooklyn.</li> <li>We have the RPGA Organized Play meetups which are every Tuesday night.</li> <li>We have "Campaign Gaming" where DMs run longer adventures that span several weeks.</li> </ol> <p> <strong>Please read</strong> this&nbsp; <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYC-DND/messages/boards/thread/4217607">http://www.meetup.com/NYC-DND/messages/boards/thread/4217607</a> on the message board for more clarification.

My girlfriend &amp; I will be meeting there at 7pm. Beforehand we're going out with some friends for dinner at <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/tabata-noodle-new-york">Tabata Noodle</a> to have some of the best Ramen in the Big Apple. If you wanna come dine with us let me know!</p> <p>Afterwards we'll probably go out for some cheap drinks at a local dive bar in the hood. Hope to see you there!!</p> <p> Established in 2008, <b><a href="http://www.lastritesgallery.com">Last Rites</a></b> has become a premiere gallery for the Dark Art movement and a haven for artists who prefer to explore the ominous, uncomfortable, and eccentric in their work. Striving to showcase some of the most thought-provoking art in contemporary surrealism, Last Rites creates an atmosphere where the artist can harness limitless expression and the observer can reflect inward, inspired to understand that which resides in us all.</p> <p>The uniqueness of <i>Last Rites</i>, aside from its focus on such work, is the collaborative effort between founding director, Genevive Zacconi and <b><a href="http://darkimages.com/">Paul Booth</a></b>. The fact that they are both accomplished artists as well, allows for a stronger relationship with the exhibited artists, and a more understanding and creative approach to the overall presentation of their work- enhancing the experience for everyone who visits <i>Last Rites Gallery.</i></p> <p> </p> <p>Got questions?

Kamiya<br/>Hoza</p> <p><br/>The religious practice of Hoza was first started by Shakyamuni Buddha himself; followers gather together to reflect on their practice and help one another further their spiritual growth.</p> <p>With the Hoza leader as their guide, members keep the Buddha's teaching in focus as they apply it to various experiences and episodes of their daily lives. Members talk in detail about their worries, anxieties, and hardships trying to figure out why each particular misfortune happened to them They learn from one another how the cause of the suffering can be found in a person's own heart and mind.</p> <p><span>Our goal is to have a teaching center where we can join with others to discover and celebrate spiritual growth.  We endeavor to share our experiences with others to build a bond of integrity and strength within our community.  Because we are all connected, we practice responsibility in all aspects of our lives.  When you cast a stone into the water, the ripples extend far beyond the original action.</span></p>

100084682 463260 <p> </p> <p>Hi Friends,</p> <p> Valentines Day can be a difficult day for many of us by driving home the point that we do no have someone special in our lives OR being widowed, that special someone is no longer with us.  So this year, we are taking the focus off romance and couples and putting it on Friendships!  That does not mean that couples can’t attend…they can, nor does it mean that YOU won’t meet attractive singles that you might want to date. You just might! But, this will take the pressure off of trying to find someone! </p> <p> Moretti’s will be serving a  scrumptious meal of pizza, salad, roast chicken, pasta marinara, veggie platter, roasted potatoes or some veggie and cake! Guaranteed, you will not go away hungry!  The food is plentiful, hot and very flavorful.  Moretti’s is known for their great food and their buffets are no different!</p> <p> </p> <p><b>Buffet starts at</b> <b>7:45</b> <b>and ends at</b> <b>8:45</b><b>.</b>  We only dine for one hour so make sure that you get there in time to enjoy their great food! </p> <p> The room will be decorated in RED! Red and pink balloons, red table décor…the place will be a mass of red! </p> <p> Attire:  Wear anything RED if you have something in your closet!</p> <p>Ladies:  Dress Slacks and Dresses   NO JEANS LADIES PLEASE</p> <p>Men:  Slacks and nice dress jeans are welcome for the men, a nice shirt, suits are welcome also!  NO gym shoes and JEANS are fine as long as they are dress jeans. </p> <p> Wear your dancing shoes!  People will ask you to dance!  This is a lively crowd!</p> <p> We will have a great DJ that plays OUR music and at a level that you will be able to talk to your friends.  If at any time you are unhappy with the music or the sound level, don’t hesitate to come to me and let me know! THIS dance is for YOUR enjoyment and if the music is all wrong or too loud no one will enjoy the evening! </p> <p> Cost is $15.00 at the door.  Where can you go for a great buffet of food, a captured audience of people your age that you will have a lot in common with, great music at a sound level that you can actually talk….all for $15.00???</p> <p> We need 100 people to make this event cover costs so please RSVP and HONOR that RSVP. </p> <p> I have not invited other groups to this dance.  If members from other groups wish to attend, that is perfectly fine. </p> <p> A number of my members have asked that we focus on our group. I HEARD YOU.  So, friends, invite your friends!   Invite people you like from other groups!  </p> <p> We will focus on having the kind of music our group likes, at a level that is pleasing, no over-crowding, plenty of seating if you wish to sit with friends AND speedy bar service! </p> <p> Intelligent, kind, friendly and welcoming people attend our events.  Don’t think that you will sit alone and not meet people!  Our members will come up to you, stick out their hand and introduce themselves and even ask you to dance!!   </p> <p>So come out and enjoy an evening of FRIENDS!!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Fena D’Ottavio</p> <p>[masked]</p> <p>We are a group of unbelievably fun friends that meet regularly at different places around the burbs.

10008533 208172 <p>Welcome to the coolest pug walk in Southern Westchester County, Bronxville, New York. Bring your pug or pugs, your children and your friends. The meet and greet begins at 10:30am sharp. The walk begins by 11:00am. We walk the pugs around the lake between Bronxville &amp; Tuckahoe along the Northbound side of the Bronx River Parkway. It's about 1/4 mile (which is just about enough for the fur-babies). It can last anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 &amp; 1/2 hours. We stop for water breaks, but it's on the "3 benches" where all the fun happens. Treats, more water, and the photo session. These "little clowns" provide everyone with the joys of being owned by a pug!</p> <p>Parking is tight. We suggest you come early to search for a spot along Pondfield Road West, or up by the train station (Metro North)-Studio Arcade and then walk down Pondfield Road West to meet us. Your hostesses - Gracie &amp; Chloe, both fawn pugs will be there early to meet you all.<br/>Just plan on having a fun time!<br/>You can take your pug on Metro North to the Bronxville Station &amp; cross over to other side and walk down the hill, Pondfield Rd. West.</p> <p>Bronx River Pkwy-North, exit Pondfield Road West-look across the street, that's where we meet.</p> <p>Bronx River Pkwy-South, exit Desmond Ave. Turn left, at stop sign turn left again, then sharp left on Parkway Road. Follow to turnstile and follow to Pondfield Rd. West.</p> <p>Note: although this IS a free event we do ask members (that come often) to sponsor a month so we can keep the site up &amp; running so that you all can view the fun pictures we take week after week....sponsorship is still open. Please speak to Cam or Kate for which months are still available.</p> <p>Please take a moment to RSVP. We look forward to seeing all our old friends and to welcome new friends. "It's all about the Pugs"</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline">Welcome!</span> We started this walk (back in 2003-and we joined Meetup in 2005) because we saw so many pugs in the Bronxville village and surrounding areas. Come and meet some really great people &amp; join the coolest-weekly pug walk around! </strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>*Remember, "It's all about the pug"!.</strong></span></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline">Just a note:</span> Once owned by Tibetan monks, pugs made their way to Europe with the Dutch East India Company in the 1700s?the rest is history. Today, pugs are one of the most recognizable and popular breeds in the world. The pug is a great charmer, intelligent, even tempered with a lively and happy disposition. They are very affectionate and make rewarding and amusing companions. Once you have owned one pug, more are sure to follow!</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline">Our personal note:</span> -"Once a pug owner, always a pug owner"! -"Pugs don't make our whole lives - but make our lives whole"! -"A lot of dog - in a small package"! -"You haven't lived, until you've been owned by a pug"!</strong></p>
10008736 895594 <p>Hey all:</p> <p>PLEASE CALL LYNETTE AT JALOPY TO RESERVE A PLACE IN EACH CLASS GOING FORWARD:<br/>[masked]-3214.</p> <p><br/>Emily Eagen is a long-time performer of folk, world, and early music, with a keen interest in teaching harmony and experience with vocal groups of all ages and levels. She worked as a teacher and performer in the Netherlands for five years, and is a regular teacher at the Augusta Heritage Center (www.augustaheritage.com) during Vocal Week. Hailing from Cincinnati she sings a variety of southern close harmony repertoires, and also performs old time and bluegrass songs in a trio with singer and harmonica player Trip Henderson and multi-instrumentalist/singer Spiff Wiegand. Emily is also (get this!) a two-time International Whistling Champion.</p> <p>Don Friedman began playing guitar and singing at about 8 years, and realized that he could harmonize at about 9 ("hey, that's not the tune you're singing!"). Some of his earliest performing was with his high school rock band (the fabulous Soul Searchers), but he was particularly influenced by the folk music revival of the 60s. Over the past 15 years or so, Don has branched out and has explored old-time, country and bluegrass music. He has also always enjoyed songs from other cultures and languages. He plays rhythm and lead guitar, and has recently taken up the mandolin. In recent years, Don has been on staff at Vocal Week at the Augusta Heritage Center, as a jam session leader, instructor and performer. In New York, he performs with the trio, Triboro, and the duet, Jenny &amp; Don. By day, he is a policy analyst and attorney with an anti-poverty agency, the Empire Justice Center.</p> <p>The duo will teach a vocal harmony workshop, focusing on two and three part country, bluegrass, and old-time repertoire. No need to read notation! You will be up and singing right away! And in the future Emily will make use of the vocal harmony books written by Kathy Fink and Marcy Marxer put out by Homespun Tapes, which give music, lyrics, and an accompanying CD for home study. The class will be a fun, hands on, demystifiying, and empowering experience learning to sing harmony! And will end in a full-scale performance at the end of a few months. . .</p> <p>HOW ABOUT THAT! SO SOON WE WILL BE TAKING IT ON THE ROAD! And, if Emily ever gets laryngitis, she'll still have to come teach, because she can whistle all the parts! But seriously, she is a whistling champion, I have seen her perform, and she's amazing?</p> <p>Call or email with any questions, and please RSVP ASAP, if that's enough acronyms for you,</p> <p>Until we sing again,</p> <p>Steve/[masked]</p> <p>We are a group of people who love to sing. Bluegrass harmony is easy to learn, so it makes the singing that much more enjoyable. We have 2 professional musicans/instructors who come with their guitars and voices. We meet from usually in the vicinity of Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY. The cost is $30 per person per class. This may sound like a lot, but we have great instructors, and the enjoyment and camaraderie make it worthwhile. I just found without the professional leadership the group would get stale very quickly. If you can sing in tune, you are a welcome member. We learn new songs each meeting, so the material is always fresh. Even if you think this is not your style of music, it's a whole different experience in person when you're singing it, not just listening to it. Come on out, we have a blast. Also, we have met monthly since June 2008, and there is usually at least 20 people in attendance. Not everyone who comes signs up thru Meetup. So even if you only see 3 people have said they are coming, it's because everyone else notified me or Jalopy separately. Space is limited to 25. Don't chicken out at the last minute; you won't regret it.</p>
10008738 991158 <p><b>On the Shoulders of Giants: The Ethical Society and the Visiting Nurse Service of New York</b><br/>There is a fascinating relationship among several developments and people in the latter part of the nineteenth century : the third Great Awakening, Felix Adler, the settlement house movement and one William Rathbone of Liverpool , England. We will review how these four contributed to Lillian Wald's founding of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, and how her vision was built upon these four precedents.</p> <p> <b>Dr. Richhard Bernstein</b> obtained his BA in Philosophy at Yale and his MD degree at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. After completing his internal medicine residency at Montefiore in the Bronx, he was medical director of several group practices and managed care companies. He has been a healthcare consultant for the past 6 years.</p> <p><b>Richard</b> is a member of the Bergen County Society for Ethical Culture, has served as Platform Chair and as Chair of the Adult Education Program. He has given platforms on a variety of healthcare related topics in the past.</p> <p> <a>The Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County</a>, in Teaneck, NJ, was founded in 1953 as a religious, progressive and humanistic community. While most religions are concerned with ethics, Ethical Culture puts ethics, human flourishing, social justice and political action at the center of the search for a meaningful life.</p> <p>Join this Meetup group and, better yet, come for a visit!

This weekly gathering is held in the Concert Hall from mid-September through June and starts at 11:15 a.m. Less formal programs are held in Ceremonial Hall during the summer at 10:30 a.m.</p> <p>Our meeting usually begins with a musical prelude, followed by greetings, readings, musical interludes, and an address.

10008858 1413952 <p>Somehow, through the passing of time and the re-writing of history, we have lost our divine legacy, or have simply turned a blind eye to the truth that we are spiritual beings in physical form. The Bible says that God created human beings in "our image, in our likeness . . . . male and female" God created them (NIV Genesis 1:26-27). This teaches us that God is not the proverbial old white man in the sky that so many of us grew up imagining God to be, but that each one of us are -- as Paul said -- temples of God, made in God's image and likeness. In Romans 8:9, the biblical witness said "Ye are not [merely] flesh, but... the Spirit of God dwells in you." In John 10:34-35, Jesus said, "it is not written in your law, I said, ye are Gods." In fact, Paul said that we "live and move, and have our being" in God (Acts 17:28). If we really believe that God made all of us in God's image and likeness, we should have no problem believing that each one of us, including the "brown girl", is a God, too. It is in this Spirit that I decided to share stories, during the Sunday services in March and April, from my book, God Is A Brown Girl, Too (© 2009) -- not to limit -- but to expand the notion of humanity's Oneness with God. If you live a meager existence that never seems to know you were born to create but simply satisfies itself with less; if you are tied to the belief that someone else is God, somebody, anybody besides you and you pray to him unceasingly to do all that you have the power to manifest; if you are tip-toeing around the periphery of something greater than you are -- no longer believing that you are creator of the shape and form and texture of everything in your midst, then you should come and join this new movement of Spirit!</p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/a/a/a/event_7819114.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left">SPIRITMUV is a community of like- minded people, dedicated to transformation and empowerment through spiritual development and awareness.</p> <p>God is Spirit, which transcends religion, race, ethnicity, and culture.</p> <p>Spirit is unlimited source, divine mind, infinite creativity, and continuous movement, constantly calling us to be an expression of love for all humanity.</p> <p>Where there is Spirit, like where there is Love, like where there is Faith, there is the Church.</p> <p>SPIRITMUV is a church that is dedicated to the self-empowerment of all people.

It is in this Spirit that I decided to share stories, during the Sunday services in March and April, from my book, God Is A Brown Girl, Too (© 2009) -- not to limit -- but to expand the notion of humanity's Oneness with God. If you live a meager existence that never seems to know you were born to create but simply satisfies itself with less; if you are tied to the belief that someone else is God, somebody, anybody besides you and you pray to him unceasingly to do all that you have the power to manifest; if you are tip-toeing around the periphery of something greater than you are -- no longer believing that you are creator of the shape and form and texture of everything in your midst, then you should come and join this new movement of Spirit!</p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/a/a/a/event_7819114.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left">SPIRITMUV is a community of like- minded people, dedicated to transformation and empowerment through spiritual development and awareness.</p> <p>God is Spirit, which transcends religion, race, ethnicity, and culture.</p> <p>Spirit is unlimited source, divine mind, infinite creativity, and continuous movement, constantly calling us to be an expression of love for all humanity.</p> <p>Where there is Spirit, like where there is Love, like where there is Faith, there is the Church.</p> <p>SPIRITMUV is a church that is dedicated to the self-empowerment of all people. We welcome people from all walks of life and all life experiences who have the desire to discover Spirit through self-discovery.</p> <p>This is a warm community that not only delivers a tranformational message but also allows its members to share songs, readings and testimony.</p> <p>Services are led each Sunday by Reverend Cecilia Loving at the UNITY CENTER OF NYC, from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM, 213 West 58th Street, between BROADWAY and 7th Streets, New York, New York.</p>

10008923 1283800 <p>HI GANG, WE HAVE A <b>NEW SPOT</b> FOR OUR AFTER PARTY THIS FRIDAY AFTER HIGH BAR, AND IT'S GOING TO BE AT <b>KATRA LOUNGE</b>. I WILL BE POSTING THE KATRA EVENT SHORTLY.</p> <p>It has become somewhat of a tradition for us to promote a weekly“Happy Hour” party; but before we decide to do such a party, we always ask ourselves this question: “What makes a truly fun ‘happy hour’ party?” And after some thought, we’ve realized that we always need to create a party where you can enjoy some drink specials (such as “2 for 1” drinks), eat (complimentary appetizers), dance (to a good mix of music) and mingle (with other working professionals). But this time, we think we’ve out-did ourselves, by picking one of New York’s most beautiful nightclubs, HighBar; and for our premiere party, we will also have an open bar and complimentary admission for everyone. Basically, it’s the “happy hour” party… re-defined.</p> <p>Music By:<br/>DJ Nukem along with DJ Miss Saigon<br/>will play an eclectic mix of Hip-Hop, R&amp;B,<br/>Rock, House and ‘90s.</p> <p>Open Bar from 5pm to 6pm<br/>2 for 1 drinks from 6pm to 7pm</p> <p>Just to give you an idea what Highbar is, one must get through the strict door and be on a guest list just to enter the door. After that, you take a maze of turns that lead you to an elevator ready to whisk you to the penthouse.</p> <p>Once you arrive to HIGHBAR you feel as your back in St. Tropez with touch of South Beach. This new bi-level venue with heated roof top and two separate sound systems over views of Times Square and the Hudson.</p> <p>Do not worry that winter has started since this rooftop is heated. This mecca has rapidly become the favorite escape of the city's top tastemakers, socialites, and celebrities and the sleek downstairs VIP lounge loft space adds to the revelry.</p> <p>Remember this is a guest list only event. You must say you are on CHOUDRY'S guest list to get into this very exclusive bi-level venue.</p> <p>Highbar has a very strict door policy so please dresses, skirts or slacks for ladies, and gentlemen preferably no jeans.</p> <p><br/>THERE IS NO COVER FOR OUR GROUP. MUST SAY YOU ARE ON CHOUDRY'S LIST AT THE DOOR</p> <p>Meet others singles who enjoy unique singles events like Anti Valentines party, Superbowl mixer, Quiet clubbing to name a few.....</p> <p><strong>WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN THIS GROUP?</strong></p> <p><em><strong>I SPECIALIZE IN MAKING PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE AT SINGLES EVENTS BY INTRODUCING YOU TO NOT JUST OUR GROUP BUT EVERYONE AROUND YOU, WHICH INSPIRES CONVERSATION WHICH RESULTS IN..........</strong></em></p> <p><span>I attend and host all of my events, if I can't be there (which is very rare), you will have a contact at the event.  You will never have to guess where I am, I am available to my members via text (917) 453-7587 or email and I respond back almost immediately.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span><br> </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span><br> </span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Mt. Snow boasts 633 acres serviced by 26 lifts, which should provide us with plenty of downhill adventures. Also, Mt. Snow lays claim to American's only 6-passenger bubble chair lift, the Bluebird Express, which combines the protection of a gondola with the convenience of keeping your skis and snowboards on your feet. In order to give Mother Nature some help, the resort has 253 high output fan guns, the most in North America.</p> <p>For cross-country, we will go to Timber Creek, also located nearby. Another alternative activity to downhill is tubing. Mount Snow has the largest tubing facility in Vermont. Lastly, no discussion of Mount Snow could neglect to mention Carinthia, largest and arguably most "gnarly" terrain park in the East.</p> <p>We will be staying at <a href="http://www.bigbearslodge.com/">Big Bears Lodge</a>, a cozy family run spot nestled in the mountains in a park-like setting. Big Bears Lodge is just a quarter mile from the lifts and on the route of Mount Snow's Moover shuttle (one of the largest transportation systems in the state), famously painted like Holstein Cows. We will enjoy a very hearty breakfast each day and cap our day of skiing with a multi-course dinner in the lodge.</p> <p>Our nightlife activities will likely tap into the vibrant nightlife of West Dover or Wilmington VT. Among some of the local favorites are Snow Barn, known for its live music, as well as the popular Harriman's Farm to Table bar and the Silo (featuring a DJ and dance floor).</p> <p>$350 includes Bus Transportation from NYC; Double occupancy lodging; 2 breakfasts, 1 dinner</p> <p><i><b>Your RSVP on Meetup does not guarantee a reservation.

People trying to sell you stuff.  Especially people wearing cheesy polo shirts with logos on them.</p> <p>2. Tchotchkes</p> <p>3. Powerpoint</p> <p>4. Bad, stale coffee</p> <p>5. Microphones and cheesy intro music for self-important speakers who talk about themselves on a stage.</p> <p>6. Stadium-seating sit-and-listen style learning</p> <p>Un-conferences are about the participants – that’s right, it’s about <b><i>YOU</i></b>… it’s about creating an experience that’s useful for you. About you meeting your peers and sharing your professional experiences so everyone can get better at what they do. In a way it’s a “attend-generated” event/meetup/mashup. About providing a forum for you to have engaging discussions on relevant topics… where you can share what you’ve learned and get input from other great practitioners on real issues that you have today.</p> <p>Sounds great, right?  So how does it work?</p> <p>1. Everyone sits in a circle and discusses a topic.  Think engaging, exciting conversation – not sit, listen and take notes.  As we all know how recruiters are, each session has a moderator who tries (and usually fails) to keep the chaos in check.</p> <p>2. You get to vote with your feet and choose your topics.  At any given time there will be a few different sessions happening, so you can choose to go to the session most relevant for you.</p> <p>3. We’ll try to keep the sessions to between 20-30 people each, so everyone can participate.  First come, first serve.</p> <p><b>Note: This is a two day evening event.  Sessions start at 6:00pm and end at 8:30pm on Tuesday and Wednesday!</b></p> <p><b>MUST RSVP</b> at <a href="http://www.recruitjam.com">www.RecruitJam.com</a> Fee: $95-$195, Register  now and Save!</p> <p><br/> </p> <p><b>Topics/Sessions</b></p> <p>Wednesday, February 27th</p> <p>5:30PM People arrive, semi-kickoff thingy 6:00PM – 7:00PM Session 1<br/><b>Contingency/Staffing/Temping</b>, Moderator TBD<br/>- Why it is okay to be a TEMP? <b>Recruiting &amp; Sourcing with Social Media</b>, Moderator: Richard Cialone, Owner, Bottom Line Staffing</p> <p><b>7:00PM-7:35PM Break</b> Dinner Networking Bullhorn Presentation 7:40pM – 8:40PM Session 2<br/><b>Follow the money!

10009857 1186906 <p>With a mischievous glint in his eye, famed mythologist Joseph Campbell [masked]) would often define mythology as "other people's religion."</p> <p>In addition to his groundbreaking work in comparative mythology, Campbell also served as president of the American Society for the Study of Religion, and did much throughout his life to cultivate inter-faith dialogue between multiple religious communities. He felt that by 'unwrapping' the specific symbols of each other's wisdom traditions, we could gain insight into the core of universal human truths which are relevant to each of us.</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthrise">'Earthrise,'</a> the 1968 photograph taken of Earth from the moon during the Apollo 8 mission, was believed by Campbell to be the most significant mythological image to come into our collective consciousness in modern times.</p> <p>In this living room talk, guest facilitator <a href="http://www.philrobinson.net">Phil Robinson</a> will offer an overview of Campbell's major ideas regarding the role of mythology and religion in our lives, with a special emphasis on Campbell's interpretation of the taking of the Earthrise photograph as a unifying spiritual event for all of humanity.</p> <p>Phil will also recount his personal story of how encountering Campbell's writings at a young age enabled him to grasp a broader and more pluralistic view of spirituality than the fundamentalist literal Christianity that he had been raised with.</p> <p>Phil Robinson (who will also serve as the night's musical guest) is a popular singer/songwriter, speaker and community builder active throughout NYC, who often speaks and leads community events around the topics of mythology, creativity and culture. Phil has been involved with the <a href="http://www.jcf.org">Joseph Campbell Foundation</a> for a number of years, helping to continue Campbell's work by aiding the foundation in building networks of local community groups based on the exploration of matters of spirituality and culture.

10009880 1186906 <p>Facilitator: Bowie Snodgrass</p> <p>The Apostles Creed's most controversial phrase tells us "he descended into hell." Orthodox icons depicting the "Harrowing of Hell" show us Jesus pulling Adam and Eve out of Sheol. Some believe Jesus died on Good Friday and only rose in sensationalized stories told later. Others believe Jesus survived the crucifixion and spent the rest of his life traveling outside the Roman Empire, dying finally an old man in India. People of all faiths and no faith at all are welcome to come reflect on these possibilities in an evening vigil led by Christians and Muslims in the Faith House Community, on this Holiest Saturday in the Christian year, the day before Christ arose!</p> <p>* photo by jimforest on flickr.com</p> <p><strong><span style="color : #6e1919"><span style="font-size : medium">Are you interested in meeting people, getting a taste of other faith traditions, and sharing elements of your own religion with others?</span></span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium"><a href="http://www.faithhousemanhattan.org">Faith House Manhattan</a> is an experiential inter-religious community that organizes regular events to learn about other faiths, explore and share our own, and forge meaningful connections with people of other faiths or no faith at all.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">Every other week Faith House hosts a <span style="color : #3b74a4"><strong>Living Room Gathering</strong></span> where we share holy days, learn new spiritual practices, and address current cultural and social issues.

100100752 1758959 <p>Time for another round-up of what we're all doing out there.   Sara will be fresh back from a hackathon in Haiti, and the SBTF will be in the middle of planning its Kenya Elections deployment: what else is happening for NYC crisismappers?  What else do you want to talk about? Come along and tell us...</p> <p><span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>What is crisismapping?</strong></span><br> <br> Crisismappers are online teams of people who gather and provide data online to people responding to and people caught up in disasters.<br> <br> Crisismapping has been around for a while, but for most people it started with the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, where all the government and NGO information needed to respond to the earthquake was lost in the earthquake. We created online maps from satelllite images, put SMS and media reports onto an Ushahidi map, got documents into Sahana, added the details of people who were lost into Google's People Finder tool, built websites and software to help, and did dozens of other small data jobs that made a difference to what was available online and in the country (we even sent data updates into the country on USB sticks). Since then, we've mapped in places like Libya (refugees), Japan (tsunami), Chile (earthquake), Pakistan (floods), Somalia (refugees), Alabama (tornadoes) and been ready to help with dozens of other crises around the world.<br> <br> Crisismappers are usually volunteers: many of them are highly-skilled both at data gathering, mapping and analysis, and in areas which impact this work (like open-source technologies), but if you're new to crisismapping, don't let that put you off joining in: everyone starts as a newbie sometime, and many of those skills were gained through hours of working on maps.<br> <br> <span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>What's this crisismapping meetup about?</strong></span><br> <br> This meetup is open to anyone working on crisismapping, working with crisismappers or interested in crisismapping in general. Please come join us! We try to hold a meetup once a month - pub and date suggestions are also welcome if you just want to hang out with other mappers too.<br> <br> <span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>How do I start?</strong></span><br> <br> It can be a little daunting finding out where to start in crisismapping. Come to the meetups, say hello and we can talk about all the local and global groups that you can join (or you can just go contact them directly: they're all nice people), including:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.humanityroad.org/" target="_blank">Humanity Road</a> - volunteer crisismappers, works with communities</li> <li><a href="http://members.standbytaskforce.com/" target="_blank">Standby Task Force (SBTF)</a> - volunteer crisismappers, works with agencies</li> <li><a href="http://newmediataskforce.wordpress.com/">New Media Task Force</a> - New York volunteer crisismapping group, works deployments, runs training</li> <li><a href="http://crisiscommons.org/" target="_blank">Crisis Commons</a> - volunteer crisismappers, works with communities</li> <li><a href="http://community.ushahidi.com/" target="_blank">Ushahidi</a> - volunteer-built mapping tool</li> <li><a href="http://sahanafoundation.org/" target="_blank">Sahana</a> - volunteer-built coordination tool</li> <li><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org//" target="_blank">Open Street Map</a> - volunteer-built maps</li> <li><a href="http://mapaction.org/" target="_blank">Mapaction</a> - builds maps from inside disaster zones</li> <li><a href="http://www.info4disasters.com/" target="_blank">Info4Disasters</a> - collects information before disasters</li> <li><a href="http://www.rhok.org/" target="_blank">Random Hacks of Kindness (RHOK)</a> - runs two software-building hackathons a year</li> </ul> <p><br> <br> <span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>Where else can I get information?</strong></span><br> <br> If you want to know more about crisismapping, these places will help too:</p> <ul> <li>The <a href="http://crisismappers.net/" target="_blank">Crisismappers Network</a> runs crisismapping conferences (ICCM) and collects information about crisismapping on its website.</li> <li>Crisismapping news usually ends up on the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/crisismappers?hl=en" target="_blank">crisismappers googlegroup</a></li> <li><a href="http://irevolution.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">iRevolution blog</a> - Patrick, one of the ICCM leads</li> <li><a href="http://crisismapper.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Diary of a Crisis Mapper</a> - Anahi, one of the SBTF leads</li> <li><a href="http://blog.disasterexpert.org/" target="_blank">Dealing with Disasters blog</a> - one of the responders</li> <li><a href="http://www.opencrisis.net/" target="_blank">OpenCrisis.net</a> - Sara's notes on crisismapping and development data</li> </ul>

10010357 403172 <p>Chicago Rock Climbing Meetup Folks,</p> <p><a href="http://www.Moosejaw.com">Moosejaw </a>and <a href="http://www.FitnessFormulaClubs.com">Fitness Formula Clubs </a>are bringing the Stone Alliance Tour to Chicago.</p> <p>Three internationally celebrated climbing filmmakers join forces to bring you some of the best climbing action from all over the globe. Strap in for an edge-of-your-seat show featuring the top climbers, best crags and coolest action, and get your fingers itching to get out there and grab some stone. Featuring segments from Masters of Stone 6, The Players, and Herakleia! 1.5 hours of killer climbing action.</p> <p><a href="http://www.StoneAllianceTour.com">The Stone Alliance Tour</a><br/><a href="http://www.Martyrslive.com">Martyrs' Restuarant and Pub</a><br/>3855 N. Lincoln Ave.<br/>Thursday, April 9<br/>Doors: 7:30, Start: 8:00<br/>Tix - $10 @ www.MartyrsLive.com</p> <p>I hope to see you there.</p> <p>Mike</p> <p>BEFORE YOU JOIN THIS GROUP you are to read and agree to the following terms and conditions. By being a part of this network you publicly acknowledge that you understand and completely agree to the following: 1. This is an online social network which meets periodically in person. This Meetup group is not a substitute for competent, professional climbing instruction from an American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) certified instructor. If you are looking for a qualified rock climbing instructor, please visit Fox Mountain Guides and Climbing School http://www.FoxMountainGuides.com. 2. What goes up, must come down. Falling is a part of climbing. Falling is considered by those participating in the sport of rock climbing to be an accepted risk. Sometimes a fall could leave you injured or dead. Again, the consequences of a fall, no matter how severe, are an accepted risk to the climber and belayer. If you get hurt during an event posted on this website, it is completely your responsibility. You are not to blame anyone else! BY JOINING THIS GROUP YOU ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR SAFETY, HEALTH, AND WELL-BEING WITH NO EXCEPTIONS. 3. The Organizer, Assistant Organizers, Members, and Sponsor of the Chicago Rock Climbing Meetup Group do not guarantee the competence of any individual. IF YOU DO NOT WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THEN YOU ARE ALTOGETHER DISCOURAGED FROM AND IN NO WAY INVITED TO JOIN THIS GROUP. Now that the heavy stuff is understood, we do encourage those who agree to the aforementioned terms and conditions, and who have a hint of courage, to join this group. It provides an excellent opportunity to learn an incredibly challenging, dangerous, and rewarding sport. This particular group is made up mainly of those with minimal experience. It is used as a way to meet new people and try new things within the sport of rock climbing. We learn together. Being in Chicago, most of our events take place indoors at manufactured climbing facilities. Our outdoor trips are usually to Devil's Lake in Wisconsin and Red River Gorge in Kentucky. (About 200 and 400 miles from Chicago respectively.) Most outdoor trips are lead by AMGA (http://www.amga.com) certified instructors. These trips usually require an investment of under $80 and include all the equipment you will need for rock climbing. Happy climbing!</p>

Three existing brick walls were left exposed to convey a warm familiarity. The hardwood floors are dyed red, emphasizing the striking texture of the aged materials. The seating is upholstered in fine black tufted leather and trimmed in white. The tufted leather ceiling houses six black crystal chandeliers descending from recessed cases veneered with black mirrors. Home's design is complete with 30 private tables, music by top DJ's and VIP memberships combined with a sophisticated bordello-esque red, white, and black atmosphere, plush couches, crystal chandeliers, tufted leather lined ceilings a 35-foot bar and an outside smoking lawn.</p> <p><br/>Hip-Hop, House, Classics, 80s &amp; Rock music by: JCNY</p> <p>DOORS OPEN AT 10:00 PM, <b>VODKA OPEN BAR FROM 10 TO 11.</b></p> <p>Ladies FREE until 1am; Gents FREE until 11pm and a Reduced $20 after.</p> <p>21 PULS WITH ID.

10010399 219990 <p>This is an event for anyone interested in aviation - from students to flying veterans with tons of ratings. Something for all..... Its an all day event from 9am to 3pm, and afterwards (around 4pm), lets all go flying! Im going to try to coordinate as many pilots with access to planes to arrange rides for those without access (or no pilots license). I for one, will be renting a Cessna 172 at Caldwell Airport so I can take 2 others for a ride. Obviously, we'll do our best to get everyone in the sky, but I dont know who is avail for rides yet. If you want to volunteer some flight time, please let me know and I can coordinate it. We should probably reserve seats for non-pilots or students first (to give them a taste of what this is all about).</p> <p>Following this event - Diane may be posting another NIGHT meet up after this day event. Everyone will meet back in NYC for drinks, etc. She did such a great job last time, she is going to do it again (although I have not told her yet :)</p> <p> "The Pilot Forum: For the Student in All of Us....!"</p> <p><a href="https://www.faasafety.gov/SPANS/event_publicregistration.aspx?eid=22844">YOU MUST REGISTER HERE.

Bill Korbel, News 12 Chief Meteorologist, will be the guest speaker on Weather Dangers. Additional guest speakers will present on Cross Country planning, Insurance Issues, Medical Management , ATC issues, Checkride Preparation, Aviation Careers plus Current topics.</p> <p><a href="http://www.faasafety.gov/SPANS/event_details.aspx?eid=22844">FULL DETAILS HERE</a></p> "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." - Leonardo da Vinci Lets face it - New York City isn't easy. It's expensive and difficult to keep a car here. This makes it hard for a pilot to enjoy his/her passion. Mass transit to the local airports is an arduous undertaking. So, if you're a pilot or aviation enthusiast in the New York City area that doesnt have the ways and means to actually fly anymore, this may be the social group you have been looking for. If you are looking for a more active flying group, I welcome you to visit our "sister" meetup group called: The Northeast Pilots Group. They are flying non-stop! (http://aviation.meetup.com/77/) Otherwise...we invite you to come join the largest and fastest growing "hanger flying" Aviation Meetup around. Airline transport, commercial, private, sport, student, and aspiring pilots are all welcome, as is anyone with a love of flying. Our spouses, family, and friends may not always understand us, but with New York City Pilots you'll always have someone who shares your passion for flight.

(Alternatively - we could do earlier brunches, but let's face it- how many of us are going to get up and go to a 10am bookclub?)</p> <p><i>Please see below in RED and the "About Us" page for our confirmation and no show policies</i>.</p> <p>A 2004 Pulitzer Prize winner.<br/>Henry Townsend, a black farmer, bootmaker, and former slave, has a fondness for Paradise Lost and an unusual mentor -- William Robbins, perhaps the most powerful man in antebellum Virginia's Manchester County. Under Robbins's tutelage, Henry becomes proprietor of his own plantation -- as well as of his own slaves. When he dies, his widow, Caldonia, succumbs to profound grief, and things begin to fall apart at their plantation: slaves take to escaping under the cover of night, and families who had once found love beneath the weight of slavery begin to betray one another. Beyond the Townsend estate, the known world also unravels: low-paid white patrollers stand watch as slave "speculators" sell free black people into slavery, and rumors of slave rebellions set white families against slaves who have served them for years.</p> <p>An ambitious, luminously written novel that ranges seamlessly between the past and future and back again to the present, The Known World weaves together the lives of freed and enslaved blacks, whites, and Indians -- and allows all of us a deeper understanding of the enduring multidimensional world created by the institution of slavery.</p> <p>More reviews:</p> <p>"'The Known World' is a great novel, one that may eventually be placed with the best of American Literature." -- San Diego Union-Tribune</p> <p>"A masterpiece that deserves a place in the American literary canon." -- Time</p> <p>"Fascinating...poignant....[A] complex and fine novel." -- Baltimore Sun</p> <p>"Heartbreaking....fascinating." -- Newsweek</p> <p>"Stunning....His first novel is...likely to win acclaim." -- New York Times</p> <p><b>NOTE: I WILL BE EMAILING MEMBERS ASKING YOU TO CONFIRM YOUR "YES" RSVP THE WEEK BEFORE THE MEETUP, NO LATER THAN THE FRIDAY BEFORE SO WE CAN GET A PRETTY ACCURATE HEADCOUNT.

10010628 1223492 <p>The purpose of this meetup is to provide a fixed place and time for people wanting to have informal chats (causeries) in French. The group is an extention of one that met at B&amp;N Chelsea for 8+ years before that bookstore closed. All levels of French proficiency are welcome. This is not an instructional/teaching group. The meetings are in the SONY atrium on Madison between 56 and 55 St. Moveable chairs and tables facilitate the formation of small discussion groups. The closest subways are at 5th/53, Lex/59 and 5th/60. Facilities include a Starbucks and washrooms.</p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color : #333333">We are looking for YOU and more volunteers to serve in administrative leadership capacities in order to create an active team to keep our French speaking group going ahead!</span></p> <p><span style="color : #333333"> </span></p>

10010716 345700 <p>Meet at the large parking lot off of Wilson Ave &amp; LSD. Meet at the shed by the outdoor skate park.</p> <p>The distance and pace will be determined by the runners. We usually do a 9:00- 10:00 min pace, depending on how far we go. We usually run anywhere between 6-11 miles. It just depends on who comes and what their goals are. There is a turnaround at mile 3 for those who don't want to go as far. Also, if 6 miles is too far there is another turn around at mile 1.5</p> <p>We will meet at 7PM at the large parking lot right by the outdoor skate park. HOPE TO SEE MANY OF YOU THERE!!</p> <p>We are a social group that really enjoys running together. No hype and no elitist attitudes! All skill levels and age groups are welcome. We meet at various locations throughout the city. If you want to do a meetup run in your neighborhood one weekend, just send me a message and I will create a meetup invite. If you are in need of long runs, let me know and I will arrange it as well. Feel free to come and catch up on some miles or if you are NOT a distance run, come anyways and we will circle back around to drop you back at your car. We accommodate all distances and levels.</p>

The idealistic young Harry Trench is making a tour down the Rhine, stopping at historic places to see the sights. He meets Blanche, the girl of his dreams, at a hotel in Remagen and asks her father, the formidable Sartorius, for permission to court her. After checking Trench's aristocratic background, Sartorius agrees. The romance goes well until, back in London, Harry discovers, from Sartorius's aptly named factotum, Lickcheese, that Blanche's dowry is derived from exploiting the desperately poor tenants of her father's tenement houses. Harry is forced to choose between love and honor.</p> <p>When published in 1882, George Bernard Shaw's Widowers' Houses was considered to be a scathing, hilarious satire on then-timely topic of slumlords making money for wealthy investors. The work still holds up to this day, and the ShawChicago Theater Company will bring it to life again with this staged reading that captures the intensity, humor and social import of Shaw's words thanks to a stellar cast of trained actors. Don't miss out on this unique adaptation -- be enthralled and entertained at this powerful reading.</p> <p>NOTE: THIS IS A ‘STAGED READING’ OF WISOWERS’ HOUSES.</p> <p>Sunday's show includes a Pre-Show Reception of wine and snacks for the Meetup Group with Artistic Director Robert Scogin in the Ruth Page Library on the 2nd Floor at 1:00pm.

100111912 3352222 <p>The start of a new year is always a great time to meet someone special. Since it always seems easier to meet people when you're with someone, we ask that you come with at least one single person (roommate, buddy, colleague etc). And the best part, they get in for FREE (each ticket is good for up to 2 people)!</p> <p> It is not mandatory that you come with someone, but it highly encouraged Here's what else to expect - $4 Beer Specials 9-11pm $5 Shots &amp; $6 Wines all night (at main level bar) All January Birthdays receive a FREE Drink (show ID at door) Prizes &amp; Giveaways all night for everyone! DJ spins the ultimate party music for dancing on lower level Live acoustic act performs for mingling on main level 2 floors + 2 bars + 200 singles = 1 great time! When you RSVP, just RSVP for 1, and you can bring a friend for free.</p> <p> </p> <p>We will have great events such as singles parties, mixers, speed dating events, and lots of fun activities for our single members. We'll also have the largest New Years Eve Party, Halloween Party, and parties for all other major holidays!</p>
10011194 1382059 <p>For the first time I am recommending an event that costs !</p> <p>Here we go! It's time for the next installment of El Circo Cheapo Cabaret--Chicago's greatest cheap date-recession-busting idea. If your New Year's Resolution is to save more money and have more fun, we'll help you do both. For only $5-10 dollars (or free for one lucky person!) you can see people hang from fragile looking things from their toes, ladies shake their hips, crazy people walk on glass, and more! $10, but if you can do 5 pull ups, it's $5. If you can do 10 pull ups you'll go in a raffle and one lucky Strongman or Strongwoman will get all their money back! We reward muscles (but last month we rewarded muscles too much, so we had to revise our policy...).</p> <p>BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THE AMAZING PRICE! Let me tell you about the amazing show. Aloft is welcoming interested circus artists from all over to come share our stage. The main purpose of this show us purely one of self-interest. You see, good performance footage of a circus act is awfully hard to come by, so by having a cheap show we can get a fun supportive audience in to clap and cheer as we film our acts to use for promoting ourselves to agents and clients. You never know what you'll get at the cabaret...you might see 5 silks acts from 5 different companies, or you might see a 6-year-old Russian trapeze artist, or an inner-city juggling superstar from the Chicago Youth Circus, or someone trying their act in front of an audience for the first time and asking for feedback, or someone who has done their act so many times they're going to try it blindfolded this time. Who knows, but for less than $10, you can't beat it!</p> <p>You must purchase tickets online. This event WILL SELL OUT !</p> <p>Visit a performance video at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sm-XOncw2s"><a href="http://www.youtube.co" class="linkified">http://www.youtube.co</a>...</a></p> <p>Let me start by saying <strong>WE ARE SOME OF THE FRIENDLIEST PEOPLE WHO ATTEND MEETUP EVENTS!!!</strong> Yes, <span style="text-decoration : underline">you will feel included</span>, yes you will be encouraged to join into the conversations...

Theres awesome drinks and specials, the wings are killer, pitchers are cheap, tons of tvs, and Red Wings Hockey!</p> <p>When I want to watch a Red Wings game I want to watch it with other people who know the pain of the "intent to blow" rule and why Pavel Datsyuk was perhaps the greatest bargain in the NHL draft ever, I hope that you are those people.

10011804 1403077 (null) <p>We are a friendly group of Scrabble players. </p> <p>We normally play 3 to 4 games every Sunday evening and  have a good group of regulars who have been playing together for years but would love to have new players join us.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
100118402 3673142 <p>Please join this group! We have started again in the new year, and welcome all lovers of Ibn Arabi, sufism, friendly reading groups and lively discussion.</p> <p>Meetings often take place in members' homes, so details are restricted to current members.</p> <p>We are currently reading through a few different translations of Ibn Arabi's Fusus al Hikam, but are open to reading and discussion of other works by the 'Shaykh al Akbar'</p> This group, formed to read and discuss the works of Ibn Arabi, formed organically following a guided tour to Andalusia Spain by Stephen Hirtenstein of the Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi Society (http://www.ibnarabisociety.org/). We are primarily reading and discussing the Fusus al Hikam of Ibn Arabi, but add other works from time to time. From the Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi Society website: "Mystic, philosopher, poet, sage, Muhammad Ibn 'Arabi is one of the world's great spiritual teachers. Ibn 'Arabi was born in Murcia, Al-Andalus, in 1165 and his writings had an immense impact throughout the Islamic world and beyond. The universal ideas underlying his thought are of immediate relevance today." Ibn Arabi is also known in some circles as the 'Shaykh al Akbar', and is acknowledged as a universal Sufi master on the level of Mevlana Jelaladdin Rumi (and lived and travelled the Arabic empire just prior to Rumi). Come join us if you like open discussions with friendly people who like to read and discuss intellectually and spiritual challenging material. We meet in the inclusive, generous spirit of Ibn Arabi, and are not proponents of any one religion or world view.
10011869 993113 (null) This is a chance for artists of all sorts in the West Suburbs of Chicago -- whether your medium is expressed visually, verbally, sonically, or some combination -- to cross-pollinate, gather ideas and energy, and find inspiration, consolation and encouragement. The hope is to gather regularly as a group, creating opportunities to organize smaller klatches, as well as opportunities to find like spirit and lasting artistic relationships. We may even be able to organize readings, performances and showings. Note the change: We were the Oak Park Writers, Artists & Musicians group -- We are now the West Suburban Writers, Artists & Musicians group.
10011876 1319821 <p>It's time to get some creativity flowing! Spring is in the air, and so is the creative spirit!</p> <p>We will start this meetup with some visual improv, a little game I picked up from some of the work I've been doing with another method called Beyond Bullet Points!</p> <p>The creativity we are causing takes two forms, and I look forward to starting our brainstorming well in advance!</p> <p>The first thing we will be doing is creating some creative ideas around whatever it is you are doing as a writer! Whether you are writing a novel, spitting out short stories, crafting articles for local publications, honing your poetry, or blogging it out on the Net, we will be hashing out some ideas for new directions, new words, new characters, and all around new content! No holds barred! Take no prisoners!</p> <p>The second area we will be exploring will be the area of how to push your content into the marketplace. If you are writing a novel or if you are already the bearer of a "manuscript", what could you create that would help you to petition whoever to wherever you want it to eventually get? I'm a big believe that the process is sometimes just as important as the content, and we can bring our creativity to bear on this area as well!</p> <p>Is this not what you want to see? Wrong topic? Wrong ideas? Wrong organizer? (guffaw guffaw). We have some GREAT people who are budding success stories and I want to get as many of us as possible out to convene, so no charge and let's get going long before we set sail for Espresso Joe's! Look for new polling questions to get your feedback on this topic and all things writing, new threads on our message boards, and links to resources beyond the confines of our little group, some I've created and some I've found! And you are very welcome to let me know what I'm missing, as the goal of this group is for us to all support each other!</p> <p>This group IS the most innovative, forward-thinking, exciting writing group in New Jersey! (Could I be a bit biased?) So say we all!</p> <p>We look forward to seeing you at the next event! RSVP early and often! :)</p> <p><br/>Cheers,</p> <p>Brian Keating<br/>Group Organizer<br/>Reach me through meetup or on my cell at[masked]</p> <p>Meet other local writers and let creativity bloom! Come to a Writers Meetup to review work, trade literary tips, make friends and have fun! All aspiring and accomplished writers are welcome! We are creating the most supportive, engaging and empowering writing group in New Jersey!</p> <p>We are creating a community of practice where people who want to learn more about writing can come and find out how exceptional writers create and maintain their effectiveness.

10011892 15324 <p>This is a beginners boot camp for those who are new to backpacking, or who have been out of the sport for quite some time. This trip will introduce new people to backpacking through an overnight weekend trip that is relatively close to Chicago. This trip will help beginners become familiar with the skills and gear required to have a fun and safe experience backpacking. If you are new to backpacking you are required to complete a beginners bootcamp before you can attend other group trips.</p> <p>This trip will involve hiking around 4 miles on the first day and about 7 on the second day. The terrain at Forest Glen is rolling hills, and can be quite strenuous at times.</p> <p>Expectations of participants:<br/>All participants should be in good health and be physically fit. Backpacking is a strenuous cardiovascular exercise. All participants are responsible for obtaining the necessary gear to attend this trip. Necessary gear includes a backpack, sleeping bag, tent or shelter, food and water. You can learn more about the equipment required in the <a href="http://files.meetup.com/15324/beginner%20bootcamp%20gear%20list.pdf">'Beginners Gear List' </a>in the 'Files' section of the Backpackers website. If you are unfamiliar with the types of gear required and have questions about the expectations for the trip please feel free to contact the organizers.</p> <p><br/>Itinerary for trip:</p> <p>Saturday May 16th<br/>Everyone arrives at Forest Glen by 11:30am. Shake Down... Organizers will go through everyone's pack instructing on what gear is needed and how to load and adjust packs. Hike around 4 miles to camp, practicing good hiking techniques.<br/>At camp, learn about camp skills such as site selection, making camp, cooking, etc.</p> <p>Sunday, May 17th<br/>Hike around 7 miles back to cars.<br/>Return to Chicago.</p> <p>Organizers will make the car pool arrangements, within reason, so that everyone may attend. They will plan the route of the trip, coordinate any needed logistics, and facilitate any details of the trip related to requirements of the park location. For this trip organizers will assist participants in learning about backpacking by providing knowledgeable assistance in the gear and skills necessary to backpack.<br/>Organizers are not guides or cruise directors.<br/>This trip will be at Forest Glen Forest Preserve in Vermillion County Illinois</p> <p>Details on carpool arrangements, directions and contact information will be posted a few weeks before the trip.</p> <p>Cost is $5.00 per person payable at the start of the trip.</p> <p>Chicago Backpackers is a club for those who share an enthusiasm for backpacking. We provide opportunities for backpacking education, trip organization, and backpacker networking.<br> <br> </p> <ul> <li>Backpacking education: The club helps teach new backpackers about backpacking: hiking self-sustained for consecutive days in a wilderness area carrying all necessary supplies in a backpack. We do this through trips and clinics that provide opportunities for all members, old and new, to continually improve their skills in the safest possible situations.</li> <li>Trip organization: The group's volunteer organizers plan a variety of trips throughout the year, from one-night beginners-only trips up to week-long advanced treks out west. Individual organizers choose the location, plan the route, set up car pools, and take care of other trip logistics. Individual members are responsible for their own gear and food.</li> <li>Backpacker networking: By going on trips and frequenting the various online message boards, members are encouraged to connect with other backpackers who share similar interests, and plan their own trips using the Meetup interface to further enjoy the sport beyond what the Chicago Backpackers organizers can offer.</li> </ul> <p><br> We practice <a href="http://www.lnt.org/programs/principles.php">low-impact, leave no trace backpacking</a>. Our trips usually consist of 10 to 14 people to minimize the impact we will have on our favorite locations and new trails, to keep them as fresh as possible for ourselves and other backpackers.</p> <p><span style="font-size : x-small"><span><strong><br> </strong></span></span></p>

We will be looking for some volunteer help the day of the event too. It would be great if you could assist.</p> <p>We will primarily have events in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. If you have places that you would like to see an event held by our group, please give us the owner's name, contact information, and address. We are not opposed to going to the suburbs, but we want to go where we can get a good turnout as well since we are volunteers and want to maximize our efforts.</p> <p>Some events will be purely social events, other events may have a speaker and/or demonstration. We will try to keep it varied so it is interesting.</p> <p>Please read the rules we have posted on the message board.</p> <p>Thanks for joining us and hope you enjoy our group!</p>

10012498 581932 <p>I call this the tri-county ride, because it will take us thru Hunterdon, Warren and Sussex counties. This tour will take over 4 hours and will feature some of the best riding in those counties. There will be some technical riding involved, so this is not for the inexperienced! If anybody knows a good place for lunch in the Newton area, please let me know. Anyone who wants to just ride, kickstands go up at 9:00 am. For those that are hungry, breakfast is at 8:00 am. If it rains, this ride will be cancelled. Link: Since there seems to be a lot of interest in this ride, i increased the limit to 16 and one of the organizers is going to lead a second group. I have updated the route to incorporate the lunch stop at the Chatterbox.</p> <p>Meet with other local Motorcycle Riders! We have all kinds of rides. From local breakfast or lunch runs of 60 miles or more to multi day/multi state rides.  We also have social outings since this group is like a family and we enjoy each others company.</p> <p>This group is about meeting new people of all ages and experience levels.  We have a fun diversity of people and accept EVERYONE, all backgrounds, male or female and ALL types of bikes are welcome!  This group truly belongs to the members.   Anyone can set up a ride anytime, just post the details on the calendar and we will make you the event host.</p> <p><strong>Since this is a riding group, please don't join if you do not have a bike.</strong></p> <p>Please note, everyone riding with the group must have insurance coverage and a valid driver's license with motorcycle endorsement.  You ride at your own risk.</p>
10012555 1189845 <p>Never danced salsa before but always wanted to learn? Now is your chance! No partner is necessary. Each lesson starts with the basics and ends with hot spins!</p> <p>Salsa lessons will be taught by Todd Chen, whose foray into the salsa world began with one bad date. He was invited to a salsa club by his date, but ended up watching from the sides as other dancers skillfully turned and maneuvered his date across the dance floor. Though Todd had 6 years experience performing, teaching, and choreographing hip hop, salsa was unfamiliar territory for him. This incident led to his decision to take classes with the legendary Eddie Torres, who is accredited with inventing and popularizing dancing salsa On2. He has been organizing salsa parties and teaching people to dance salsa since that day. <a href="http://salsa.meetup.com/419/pages/TODD_BIOGRAPHY/">You can read more about Todd's background in his bio</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=1505781">CLICK THIS LINK TO PRE-PAY FOR THIS EVENT ONLINE</a></p> <p>Please RSVP so we can accommodate you and your guests.

100125632 1356516 <p>Fellow Co-Creators Welcome!</p> <p>Over the years I have been facilitating this group I have been inspired to offer a variety experiences to help you in your journey. Those who have attend this group in the past know how powerful and transformative these meeting have been (those that haven't, please feel free to look at past year's meetups and see the feedback attendees have left).</p> <p>For 2013, I have been getting the sense that people need more intimate help with their individual paths, yet do not have the resources available to work with me on a coaching basis (I normally charge $150 per session). So in order to help more people and make my services more affordable to you, I feel that it is a good time to start a Group Coaching class.</p> <p>Starting with our next meeting on 1/30/13, I will work with a limit number of people (no more than 12), in group setting on your individual circumstances, to help you move forward in your career, your business, or your financial life. Attendees are expected to come prepared to learn processes and work on their specific situations while sharing with group. In my experience, most of us are working on similar issues and benefit from hearing how others are dealing with it.</p> <p>This will be an on-going series of Group Coaching sessions, focusing on different (or similar, depending on the need) aspects of life each month. Future sessions will be on the 4th Wednesday of the month, and are open to those who RSVP on first come basis.

All good info that you can use when it's time to publish YOUR book.</p> <p>And like always, I look forward to a lively discussion among everybody who shows up.

Want to learn more about how self-publishing works? Have you discovered great tactics for marketing your books, and want to share with other authors who have done the same? Then this group is for you! We do NOT focus on the writing process; rather, the purpose of this group is to connect with other authors who have finished their books and are now hard at work with the self-publishing process.</p>

In the 1940s, it became a platform for Gimbel's own couture designs, which were intended specifically for American women. Gimbel's work graced the cover of Vogue's inaugural American fashion issue in 1940, and in 1947 she made the cover of Time magazine, the first American designer to achieve this distinction. In timing with the exhibition, Saks Fifth Avenue will feature Gimbel looks in the windows of their flagship store on Fifth Avenue.</p> <p>American Couture, a term used to identify expertly rendered made-to-measure garments that underwent numerous fittings, was a movement led by Gimbel, who headed the Salon Moderne from the 1930s until its closing in 1969. During World War II, she played a major role in organizing the first combined showing of American fashion in a precursor to New York Fashion Week.</p> <p><br/>How fitting!!! <img src="http://img1.meetupstatic.com/614102232183174521616/img/smileys/wink.gif" /></p> <p><br/>The exhibition is curated by Beth Dincuff Charleston, part-time assistant professor, School of Fashion, Parsons The New School for Design with support from Saks Fifth Avenue. The lecture on Feb. 8th will be followed by a reception hosted by Saks Fifth Avenue, in the exhibition galleries.</p> <p><img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/7/5/2/event_196414642.jpeg" /></p> <p><br/> </p> <p>We are a group of <strong>fabulous, creative, entrepreneurial minded fashion, design, &amp; art professionals</strong> that would like to make a business out of our creative talents.  Together we can build on our passion for fashion a create a strong network!</p> <p> </p> <p>The fact is, most creative people want to <strong>make a living out of what they love to do</strong>, but find it difficult as they haven't learned the basics of business to survive!</p> <p> </p> <p>This <strong>forum invites people who are entrepreneurial-minded driven individuals</strong> (boutique owners, freelancers, artists, designers, photographers, artists, etc) who would benefit from interaction with other like-minded people. Hopefully, this group will help the members in their respective endeavors – in advancing their careers or launching their own businesses.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>- Julie Johnson</p> <p>.</p>

Kunlun is a reset process that is a part of your body already. When you do the method you activate that process. Whatever your body determines you need to do to realign your natural energy flow, will happen. For more information&lt;br /&gt;</p> <p>The first level opens the body's nervous system, which is comprised of 72,000 nerves or nadis. The result of this opening is the awakening of the golden dragon, or magnetic body.</p> <p>The second level involves breath retention practice that generates and circulates the body's magnetic field, removes impurities and awakens the brain's dormant potentials.</p> <p>The third level composes of the "waterfall" meditation that brings the practitioner back to the physical level of being. This part is for calming and relaxing the body, mind and spirit of a person.</p> <p>The end result of Kunlun Spontaneous Nei Gung system is to awaken the practitioner's magnetic potentials, the "bliss-body", the expression of the dormant potential of the mind, and to understand the one law that governs all matter, energy, and form.</p> <p>This practice is not written in any form. It is an oral tradition and must be transferred from teacher to student by a "mind-to-mind" form of initiation. There are hidden keys given to the practitioner after each level of practice is mastered.</p> <p>For more information please visit our website <a href="http://Meetandgrow.com">Meetandgrow.com</a>.<br/>There is no cost to attend the meeting.

10014253 50657 <p>Book - How Non- Violence Protects the State by Peter Gelderloos</p> <p>Our book group reads and discusses books on topics relevant to freeganism. This week will be a full book discussion and summary of Peter Gelderloos’ How Nonviolence Protects the State. People working for social change face plenty of difficult questions, but sometimes matters of strategy and tactics receive low priority. Among many North American activists, the role of nonviolence as the default mode of struggle bears little scrutiny. Is nonviolence effective at ending systems of oppression? How is nonviolence connected to white privilege? Is militancy naturally macho, or does pacifism reinforce the same power dynamics as patriarchy? Ultimately, does nonviolence protect the State? How Nonviolence Protects the State brings existing criticisms of nonviolence, and several new ones, together into one book, in an attempt to illuminate one of the most severe roadblocks to social change today.</p> <p>Please read prior to the meeting( We will be discussing the first half of the book ) . If you cannot find us or have any questions call (203) 571-8866. Not open to media.</p> <p>When &amp; Where? Meet at 7:30pm at the Sakia atrium, 150 Park Ave at 42nd St.</p> <p>Do you want to reduce your consumer impact on earth, humans and animals? Are you concerned about the wastefulness of our consumer society? Learn how to find useable goods in the refuse of our throw-away culture, to identify wild edibles, to repair and rebuild bikes, clothing and more.

100145032 2768442 <p>Our son broke a bone in his hand while skiing, so we are moving the March 3 event to something less active than Fun 4 All.  The Math Museum got a rave review in the Times and is both entertaining and educational. Note also the meeting time has changed to 2:00.</p> <p>We started this group for adoptive families to be a source of support, for parents to share experiences, hear each others' kids stories and get together at play groups and other fun social activites. The families can also swap resources and other educational tidbits</p>

100147742 6126682 <p>Hey everyone, our first meetup was a success! Some wonderful people came, and we had fun with raffles, etc. Let's do it again!!</p> <p>As with our first meetup, we will have Happy Hour extended for us at the bar &amp; lounge. We got some good suggestions last night, and hope to try a couple new things this time around! And again, we'll have name-tags to help everyone with knowing who's in the group and is ready to mingle!</p> <p>So, come with your party pants, and let's meet some people!</p> <p>Oh, and of course, more raffles!</p> <p>Not into clubs, loud music and people pushing their way past you? Well, neither are we! This is a group for singles that enjoy having an "adult" night out with fun people, great conversation, and maybe even a drink or two. We're planning on setting up a couple events per month at bars/restaurants in the area - a sort of "after-work social." We'll be working on getting drink &amp; food specials for the group, and we're even thinking about "themed" nights! (If anyone would like to see a specific "theme" - we'd welcome the suggestion!) We're looking to make these nights fun &amp; relaxing.... no pressure, just a great way to make some friends, and meet other singles in the area. Look forward to meeting YOU!</p>

10015255 378314 <p>I will walk through the steps necessary to become a beekeeper in your own right. Question and answer to follow.</p> <p><span style="color : #000000"> <span style="color : #000000">What is permaculture?</span><br /><span style="color : #000000">&ldquo;Permaculture is a design system based on <a href="http://permacultureprinciples.com/ethics.php">ethics</a> and <a href="http://permacultureprinciples.com/principles.php">principles</a> which can be used to establish, design, manage and improve all efforts made by individuals, households and communities towards a sustainable future.&rdquo; - David Holmgren, co-creator of permaculture.</span><br /><br /><span style="color : #000000">The goal of permaculture is to care for the earth and each other by creating harmonious and mutually beneficial relationships through observation of and working with the existing patterns of nature. It can be applied in gardens, technology, businesses, homes, communities, groups, or any other designable system.</span><br /><br /><span style="color : #000000">The Chicagoland Permaculture Meetup is one such group that is applying permaculture design to its own development. We see this group as an evolving resource to help facilitate the application of permaculture, it&rsquo;s principles, and connection with others who wish to be involved with permaculture in the Chicagoland region. </span><br /><br /><span style="color : #000000">Our Sunday Monthly Meetups give us a social context and allow the group to plan further activities that specifically reflect the needs and desires of the group. Some examples are site visits, study groups, field trips, workshops, or whatever else you can dream up.</span><br /><br /><span style="color : #000000">Check out our calendar for upcoming and past events. We invite you to join us at any of our upcoming events, where you can meet other permaculturalists, get a bite to eat, and share in the learning. In the end we feel that simply learning about permaculture increases awareness of our world&rsquo;s connectedness and is a step towards sustainability. </span> </span></p>

100155782 4091532 <p>Let's read Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Book Store and get together for lunch to discuss it (and Mommy issues too). New members are always welcome!<br/>The NY Times reviewed the book in December and noted, "Our lives are mediated through technology. Our devices and gadgets hold an illimitable dominion over us. Technology has become so entwined with our lives there is a term, nomophobia, for the fear of losing or being separated from one’s phone. And then there are books, an enduring technology. Despite regular lamentations about its demise, the book perseveres." This book examines the intersection of the old vs. the new.</p> <p>Looking to connect with other moms in the area with young children.  If you are a mama or soon to be one, please join me in building relationships with other strong women and introducing our kids to new friends too!</p>

10015727 398480 <p><b><br/>LAST-MINUTE NOTES:</p> <p>- We are expecting a great and fun crowd! Since the event is full, we expect all who RSVPed 'yes' to be there! Please update your RSVP at least 3 hours ahead of the event (when we will print the attendance list) if you cannot make it so that someone on the waiting list can attend. Thank you!</p> <p>- 49 Grove is VERY easy to get to, and if you have never been there before, you are in for a treat! It is a fun, upscale West Village nightclub. Click on the '49 Grove' link above to see the Google Map of how best to get there; it is close to the 1 line (at Christopher) and the A, B, C, D, E, F, V lines (at West 4th). Essentially get to Christopher and 7th Ave and walk one block west on Grove St.</p> <p>- This place normally has expensive drinks (West Village, you know), but we have negotiated event drink specials for the evening (see below). These prices are incredible for this type of club. Please give the club lots of business so we can keep coming back on special occasions!</p> <p>- Please dress to impress! This is an elegant club and a very social group of people having fun on a Friday night, so look sharp!<br/></b></p> <p>Announcing a special evening at the exclusive 49 Grove in West Village! Join other New Yorkers for discussions and debate. This is a FREE event, with 49 Grove offering a range of drink specials.</p> <p><br/><img src="http://www.manhattanpromotions.com/images/events/nightlife/2009_0410_grove/poster.jpg" /></p> <p><br/><b>Dress Code</b></p> <p>This is a dress-to-impress event. 49 Grove is an elegant West Village nightclub. No sneakers, sportswear, t-shirts. If door security feels that you are too casual, you will not be admitted.</p> <p><b>The Cocktails</b></p> <p>$5 Beer Specials (all evening)<br/>$5 Wine Specials (all evening)<br/>$7 Liquor Specials (all evening)</p> <p><br/><b>The Conversations</b></p> <p>The evening's theme is "The Greatest Turning Points in History." We will be debating how history would have evolved if seemingly small events had turned out differently. This is a joint event with the Manhattan Nightlife Meetup group.</p> <p><b>Agenda</b>7 PM: Social<br/>7:30 PM: Turning Points in Classical History<br/>8:30 PM: Turning Points in Recent History<br/>9:30 PM: Turning Points in Modern Times</p> <p><br/><b>Contest!</b></p> <p>Your submissions for the greatest turning points are welcomed. And we will be taking the best submissions and using them within this event - with prizes for the top entries.<br/><b> &gt;&gt; <a href="http://www.nyphilosophy.com/messages/boards/thread/6499002">post your contest entries here</a> &lt;&lt; </b></p> <p><br/>The more detailed and specific the turning point the better. For instance, saying "What if Hitler died early?" is not very specific, whereas "What if Operation Valkyrie had succeeded?" is better grounded in reality. The smaller the 'adjustment' to history, and the larger the impact to world affairs, the better.</p> <p>If a turning point is a little obscure, that is okay. If the turning point is REALLY obscure, you may need to explain it to everyone. The best turning points will be presented, and members can vote for the top three for prizes.</p> <p><b>Suggested Reading</b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterfactual_history">Wikipedia</a><br/><a href="http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/ahr/109.3/bunzl.html">American Historical Review</a><br/><a href="http://www.uchronia.net/">Uchronia</a></p> <p><br/><b>Classical History</b></p> <p>For example:</p> <p>What if Archimedes had completed his discovery of calculus?<br/>What if Caesar had been defeated in France?<br/>What if Paul had never had an epiphany?</p> <p><br/><b>Recent History</b></p> <p>For example:</p> <p>What if Bloss had not discovered Lee's war plans lying in the grass in September 1862?<br/>What if Heisenberg had not delayed Hitler's race for the bomb?<br/>What if Oswald (et al.) had missed?</p> <p><br/><b>Modern Times</b></p> <p>For example:</p> <p>What if Hinckley had not missed?<br/>What if Arafat had accepted the peace deal offered by Clinton and Barak?<br/>What if Moussaoui's laptop had been searched?</p> <p><br/><b>JOIN US AT 49 GROVE</b></p> <p>From the Zagat Review:</p> <p>A devilishly "dark" replacement for Halo, this Village club attracts "clique-y" nightcrawlers into a "low-ceilinged grotto" equipped with "comfortable couches" and "carpeted" floors (to absorb the sticker shock).</p> <p>From the Citysearch Review:</p> <p>To compete, this lounge promises patrons access to Mercedes S500s, a handpicked wine list, inventive cocktails, plus extravagant munchies of caviar and foie gras.

The mirror- and window-lined room looks like an '80s interpretation of the art deco era, with low-slung suede sofas in deep sunset hues and some of owner-art collector Steven Greenberg's 1940s modernist furnishings. A chrome staircase leads to a sprawling rooftop like you've never seen before: Almost 360 unobstructed degrees--including a dead-on of the Empire State--alongside breezy palm trees.</i></p> <p><a href="http://moxieblog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5e6e53ef011168c6f995970c-500wi" class="linkified">http://moxieblog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5e6e53ef011168c6f995970c-500wi</a></p> <p><b>THINGS TO KNOW:</b><br/>*Light appetizers served from 7-7:30pm<br/>*Check in staff will be located at tables as you enter<br/>*Bring business cards!<br/>*This event is open to all!<br/>*Average age range of attendees varies.

10015931 1233771 <p>Friday is forcast to reach almost 60 and I might have to take off from work, not sure yet. If there are other people who are not working on Friday then this could be the perfect weather for Tennis. I do not anticipate that we run into similar issue of long wait in Washington Park on Friday. Bring your racket, balls and plenty of water!</p> <p>Your Title:<br/>I am editing your custom title to put your rating, this way it prints out nice so I can bring a attendence sheet to the meetup with everyone's playing level on it. So please let me know what level you are. Below is a list of National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) categories.</p> <p>1.0 This player is Just starting to play tennis.<br/>1.5 Has limited experience and is still working primarily on getting the ball into play.<br/>2.0 Needs on-court experience. Has obvious stroke weaknesses but is familiar with basic positions for singles and doubles play.<br/>2.5 Learning to judge where the ball is going although court coverage is weak. Can sustain a short rally of slow pace with other players of the same ability.<br/>3.0 Fairly consistent when hitting medium-paced shots, but is not comfortable with all strokes and lacks execution when trying for directional control, depth or power. Most common doubles formation is one-up and one-back.<br/>3.5 Has achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but still lacks depth and variety. Starting to exhibit more aggressive net play, has improved court coverage and is developing teamwork in doubles.<br/>4.0 Has dependable strokes, including directional control and depth on both forehand and backhand sides on moderate shots, plus the ability to use lobs, overheads, approach shots and volleys with some success. Occasionally forces errors when serving and teamwork in doubles is evident. Rallies may be lost due to impatience.<br/>4.5 Starting to master the use of power and spins and beginning to handle pace, has sound footwork, can control depth of shots and is beginning to vary game plan according to opponents. Can hit first serves with power and accuracy and place the second serve. Tends to overhit on difficult shots. Aggressive net play is common in doubles.<br/>5.0 Has good shot anticipation and frequently has an outstanding shot or exceptional consistency around which a game may be structured. Can regularly hit winners or force errors off of short balls and can put away volleys, can successfully execute lobs, drop shots, half volleys and overhead smashes and has good depth and spin on most second serves.<br/>5.5 Has developed power and/or consistency as a major weapon. Can vary strategies and styles of play in a competitive situation and hit dependable shots in a stress situation.<br/>6.0 Generally do not need NTRP ratings. Rankings or past rankings will speak for themselves. The 6.0 player has obtained a sectional and /or national ranking.<br/>6.5 The 6.5 player has extensive satellite tournament experience.<br/>7.0 The 7.0 player makes his living from tournament prize money.</p> <p><br/>Meeting in Washington Park in Union City next to the 9th st light rail station.<br/>Thank You all for this great group.</p> <p>Do you live in northern New Jersey and want to play lots of tennis?

100163372 2225951 <p>The Studio Movie Grill is busy on Friday's so this is a last minute suggested Meet Up. If it does not work for anyone on such short notice, I'll reschedule the movie for another time. Get there by 6:30pm to buy your ticket and choose our place to sit. Movie is at 7pm.</p> <p>Hi, I wanted to start a movie matinee and dinner group in the Western Burbs open to people 45 and over. I enjoy going to the movies in the afternoon before it gets "crazy busy" and then on to a nice dinner and great conversation. There are so many good places to go and I'd love to have some of you join me. There are other things we can do too, depending on the group. I am divorced and a new "empty nester" but this group is not limited to singles.

My question is this: What are people referring to when they say "ethnic food"?</p> <p> </p>

If you haven't paid for the semester, sign up to ensure there is a place for you.</p> <p>We have room for a few novices in the class and an instructor who will work with novices only.

10017050 394905 <p>Evolutionary biologist Olivia Judson, author of Dr. Tatiana’s Sex Advice to All Creation, will deliver a public lecture, “The Art of Seduction: Sex, Evolution, and the Public,” on Thursday, March 26, 4 p.m. at New York University’s Jurow Lecture Hall (Silver Center, 100 Washington Square East [at Washington Pl.], First Floor).</p> <p>The lecture, co-sponsored by NYU’s Department of Biology, the university’s Liberal Studies Program, and NYU’s Dean for Science, is part of Darwin’s Bicentennial Celebration and the 150th anniversary of the publication of Origins of Species. First come, first served. NYU ID required for entry.</p> <p>Judson, a research fellow at Imperial College London, authored Dr. Tatiana’s Sex Advice to All Creation in the style of a sex-advice column to animals. The book details the variety of sexual practices in the natural world and provides the reader with an overview of the evolutionary biology of sex. It became an international best-seller and was nominated for the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction in 2003.</p> <p>Meet locals intrigued by philosophy and its impact on our understanding of life, the universe and everything! The usual format is a dinner at a restaurant in the city, with a limited number of people to enjoy conversation and intellectual give and take. The idea is that good conversation requires small crowds, and is helped by good food and wine, just like in the original Symposium by Plato. No technical background in philosophy required, just a love of wisdom! The Dinner and Philosophy meetup is a member of the <a href="http://reasonablenewyork.org">Reasonable New York</a> coalition.</p>

10017256 1299276 <p><b>This meetup is closed to new RSVPs now. Everyone on the "yes" list has payed the deposit. All the others have been moved to "no".</b></p> <p>I once read about "The Atlantic Avenue Tunnel Tour" in Brooklyn in TONY-Magazine and thought this might be a nice event for the 1001 group. Join me to discover this abandoned Long Island Railroad tunnel on <b>April 19th at 11 a.m.</b>!</p> <p>I made a reservation for 20 people, but might be able to increase the number closer to the date.</p> <p>Here's what it says on the Brooklyn Historic Railroad Association's website (which also includes interesting links for further reading and pictures of recent tours), <a href="http://www.brooklynrail.net/proj_aatunnel.html"><a href="http://www.brooklynra" class="linkified">http://www.brooklynra</a>...</a> :</p> <p>"The Atlantic Avenue Tunnel is officially the world's oldest subway tunnel. This tunnel was built in 1844, under a City of Brooklyn Street. It is a half-mile long and accommodated two standard gauge tracks. The tunnel was built in only seven months, using the cut-and-cover method; only hand tools and primitive equipment was utilized in its construction.</p> <p>It was built to provide grade separation for early Long Island Rail Road trains that lacked brakes good enough to operate on city streets. The tunnel eliminated vehicular and pedestrian traffic conflicts and delays."</p> <p>The tunnel is open to the public once a month. The narrated walking tour led by Bob Diamond, who rediscovered the long forgotten tunnel in 1980, lasts approximately an hour and a half.</p> <p>The tour meets at the old Independence Bank building (now a Trader Joe's grocery store) at the SW corner of Atlantic Avenue and Court Street, under the clock.</p> <p><b>Please wear Sneakers or Boots (no high heeled shoes). And bring a flashlight.</b></p> <p>After the tour, please join me for authentic German food at "Schnitzelhaus" in Bay Ridge.

Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

So I decide to create one.</p> <p>This group is aimed to provide a platform to create active sports events for active fit Asian Americans, mostly FREE or at a bargain group rate price. This group is for young Asian professionals to enjoy active, and adventurous activties in group setting and make friends in the process. The group has age range from 20s to 30s to keep this group active and strong. Exceptions will be given to those who can demonstrate some extraordinary athletic abilities.</p> <p>The main activies include:<br> adventures, outdoor and sport?activities, skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating, alpine skiing, downhill skiing, figure skating, ice dancing, roller-blading/skating, badminton, table tennis (ping pong), archery, tennis, volleyball, swimming, biking, hiking, zip-Line, adventure courses, paintball, kayaking, bowling, fitness, gym, golf, fencing, whitewater rafting, camping, rock-climbing, sports and recreation, and more ...</p> <p>Some more adventurous events to try:<br> sky-diving, scuba-diving, wave surfing, wind surfing, paragliding, parasailing, horse-back riding & etc. (will update this) ...</p> <p>We will try to complement these events with breakfasts/lunches/dinners when possible. Hey, we all need energy to be active, right?</p> <p>Occasionally, we can join some laid back events like museums, movies, concerts, clubings, karaoke, travels, and Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese), Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese and other Asians culture events etc so we can enjoy other aspects of life too.</p> <p>So, all active Asian Americans, let's keep an active and healthy life style. Join this group and let's create fun active sporting events, and enjoy the life to its fullness together!!!</p> <p>P.S.

10017683 135785 <p>We start from the very beginning with the basic and the progressive basic steps. Next, we learn to hear the beats of music in the measure. Then, we learn how to connect with, and communicate to, our partner through the movements of our body utilizing our dance frame. We apply this to dance Salsa with "On1" timing or "LA style" Salsa. We will teach you a right turn, a behind the back hand change, some cute combinations such as the matador with the styling of the hairbrush and the waterfall. In addition, you will learn the "connector move", the cross body lead. Then we will create a fun dance routine for you to use to practice our new moves and to take to the clubs to dance. We will show you how to put these all together so that you can move smoothly from one combination to another to make your dancing flow and get you out on the dance floor looking good!</p> <p>THIS CLASS IS FOR PEOPLE NEW TO SALSA AND FOR PEOPLE THAT KNOW SOME SALSA BUT WISH TO IMPROVE THEIR BASIC TECHNIQUE, PARTNER CONNECTION AND TIMING OR TO BEGIN LEARNING VARIOUS TURN COMBINATIONS.</p> ¡Hola bailarines!

10017699 1393179 <p>OK, so before anything else I must express my deepest gratitude to all who showed up to our 1st meeting yesterday. Not sure about you ( although I do have a sneaky suspicion ) but it felt AMAZING ( well at least for one of us – LOL ). Meeting THAT kind of people in private setting and so openly / no holding back discussing and sharing topics which were important to us was by itself an amazing, beautiful and uplifting experience. I think that is what happens when you are surrounded by pure consciousness of like minded people.</p> <p>I therefore, having this opportunity I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming over, for sharing, for making this meeting an incredible experience and for being this very vessel for conscious.</p> <p>Now some of you could not make it and wrote to me that they apologize or sorry to miss the meeting. Not only that there is no problem with this whatsoever from my end, but I also wanted to re assure you that it’s completely fine even in general. Everything happens when it is supposed to happen – in due time and place. So if for some reason you could not make it, then there was a very good reason behind it and accordingly there is no need to apologize not in front of me and certainly not in front of yourself.</p> <p>After all we are an open community of consciously evolved and evolving individuals. It will defeat the purpose of being such, if this or maybe even more serious thing will throw us out of balance. Just as this beautiful saying goes: “Snow falls, each flake in its right place!”</p> <p>Now, those of you who do have feelings of guilt ( LOL ) you can make up for it by showing up for our next meeting currently scheduled for April 5, 2009 from 2 to 4 pm ( although we might extend it for half hour depending on how many people will show up and how much we will have to discuss ). We will be meeting again in Room 3 of A.R.E. Center.</p> <p>We will be introduced to each other ( well at least the new people who have not attended the first Meetup ), share experiences, practices, difficulties and be engaged in conversation through which other members can possible assist to somebody having a certain problem or misunderstanding.</p> <p>We will also discuss the format of our future meetings, the fee for our meetings ( although that is something I will raise as a separate topic ). I want us to start and finish all our meetings with the silent mediation of 5 minutes or so. Naturally there might be additional topics that will come to my mind within next two weeks ( I will advise you of them as they come ).</p> <p>Also you are more than welcome to suggest any ideas for our upcoming meetings from what to discuss, where to meet and what to do. I am completely open and encourage you to participate in process of establishing and making our group be the best it can be.</p> <p>Again, I want to thank all of you for awakening, for awakening others, for caring, for spreading the light of your own consciousness into the world and for being part of this group – just the way you are.</p> <p>With Love and Light your way,<br/>Edward</p> <p><br/>P.S. I do ask, as usual to RSVP based on your availability. I can not stress enough how important it is and as usual, please do take the time to address your profile questions as well as add your own pictures ( I was referring to those of you who have not done it yet ). Thank you for listening ( LOL).</p> <p><strong>Dear fellow spiritual/Conscious seeker - thank you for stopping by....</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>This group was initially formed as Eckhart Tolle&rsquo;s discussion group. Shortly after, however, it evolved into a Conscious Living group open to any similar teaching/direction ( after all there are many roads and only One Universal Truth )<br> <br> In reality it all comes down to pure Consciousness. With help of this group the idea to assist and facilitate your Conscious evolution path regardless whether you just starting or way too long on this path.<br> <br> You&rsquo;ll find yourself surrounded by like minded from this and other two groups run by the same organizer and others, who are also on the same path trying to re-establish the lost connection and attain a higher state of Consciousness.<br> <br> Together we have a greater chance to be of a support to each other, to learn from each other, to share, grow and of course do so much good for fellow members and the Earth in general.<br> <br> Our meetups are comprised of discussion, organizers&rsquo; lifelong Conscious path teaching, profound and deep Love and Light meditations targeting to heal you and the Earth.<br> <br> If you feel in alignment with all of above and ready to take a next evolutionary step on your Conscious/spiritual evolution path this is a group for you.<br> <br> Should you choose to join us, please take all our activities seriously; please RSVP, attend and participate in all the activities as they are scheduled.<br> <br> Thoroughly filling out the profile questions and adding your own legible profile photo are the main prerequisites to join our group ( w/t it you will not be considered ).<br> <br> We thank you for your interest and look forward to meeting you in the very near future&hellip;<br> Dear fellow spiritual and Conscious seeker &ndash; welcome!</strong><br> <br> &#65279;</p>

100178292 1813231 <p>It won't be long before we're making plans for the upcoming Spring climbing season.  But if you're hard-core and can't wait until then for something a little extreme, consider joining us for a Winter camping trip in the Adirondacks.  We will leave early on Friday Feb 22, and return on Monday Feb 25.</p> <p><img src="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/e/b/4/event_196456052.jpeg" /></p> <p>Please note that this is not an adventure for those who are new to camping.  Stay tuned for a more beginner-friendly event when we're ready to kick-off the climbing season in the Spring.  On the other hand, if the idea of sleeping in your own <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinzhee">Quinzhee</a> sounds like fun, we'd love for you to join us.  Again, this is not an easy trip, so if you're not confident in your fitness and experience level, please reconsider.</p> <p><img src="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/f/4/0/event_196456192.jpeg" /></p> <p>The exact details will have to be weather-dependent.  If there's enough snow, <a href="http://www.whiteface.com/activities/cross-country-skiing">Cross Country Skiing</a> is certainly on the agenda.  We may target <a href="http://www.summitpost.org/the-short-loop-to-gothics/166262">Gothics</a> via <a href="http://www.summitpost.org/pyramid-peak/237918">Pyramid Peak</a> which could be a strenuous Winter hike, requiring showshoes and crampons.  Other options include the Giant-Rocky Traverse, <a href="http://www.summitpost.org/mount-marcy/150394">Marcy</a> (highest peak in NY), <a href="http://www.summitpost.org/algonquin-peak/150395">Algonquin</a>, <a href="http://www.summitpost.org/big-slide-mountain/150598">Big Slide</a>, and others. As always, we will be preparing and sharing lots of vegan food along the way.</p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/b/8/e/event_196459342.jpeg" /></p> <p>Please make sure you're prepared to chip-in for gas and/or cost of rental as well as food.  In addition, please note the following <a href="http://files.meetup.com/1813231/Gear%20List-%20Winter%20Camping.pdf"><b>mandatory gear list</b></a>.</p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/f/5/e/event_196456222.jpeg" /></p> <p><b>Forms:</b> <a href="http://files.meetup.com/1813231/Vedge%20Waiver.pdf">Vedge Waiver</a></p> <p>Do you love climbing and other outdoor adventures?  Do you love challenging yourself, and leaning over the edge of your comfort zone?  Do you find it hard to separate your love of nature from the environment you wish to preserve or the creatures you wish to let live?  Do you wish you could share this with others who "get it"?</p> <p>Welcome to Vedge.  I am truly grateful for the friends I have made through this meetup and the adventures we have shared.  We seem to attract some of the nicest, most thoughtful, and conscientious climbers I've met.</p> <p>We climb for all different reasons.  Gym climbing for some is a fun and social alternative to a conventional gym.  Others want to go out and test their mettle on the most challenging outdoor climbs nature has to offer.  We are fortunate to have the Gunks, some of the best climbing east of the Mississippi only a two hour drive away.  Regardless, we will enjoy lots of great veggie food along the way, roast tofu-pups over the camp fire, etc.</p> <p>So join us for a dinner and/or gym climbing event.  We warmly welcome all abilities, from those who have never climbed, to those pushing their limits on 5.12 and higher.  Vegans, vegetarians, and vegetarian wannabes are all welcome.</p> <p>Disclaimer of Liability:</p> <p>CLIMBING IS A DANGEROUS SPORT!</p> <p>Involvement in rock climbing carries a significant risk of personal injury or death. CLIMB AT YOUR OWN RISK!</p>

Welcome to Sultry Salsa, your best source of information for sizzling Latin dance lessons and information about the hottest Latin nightclubs in Chicago & the Chicago Suburbs. Sultry Salsa! ¡Salsa es Vida! We organize and promote Latin dancing events, primarily nightclub Salsa nights, throughout Chicago and the Midwest.

10017902 1299276 <p>"Authentic Eats" goes Germany!</p> <p>There is actually a couple of German places all over the city, and if you only go there for the beer, they are all not bad. But having a simple Bratwurst can already be a "problem" when it comes to authenticity, since these famous German sausages are very often treated like a hot dog, with Sauerkraut, red cabbage and onions on a roll. Which is definitely not the German way of eating this.</p> <p>As for good, authentic and affordable (southern) German food, there is only "Zum Schneider" (which does not really take reservations) and "Schnitzel Haus" in Brooklyn. I have been to "Schnitzel Haus" twice and always enjoyed the food, the beer and the very down to earth service. Order and pay individually? No problem. Have a private room to ourselves? Just go upstairs.</p> <p>So let's meet there for a delicious German Sunday lunch, because lunchtime is when most Germans eat warm food!</p> <p>A "Schnitzel" (pork or veal cutlets) with french fries and house salad is 16 (pork) to 19 (veal) dollars. Or you can go for a traditional Bavarian "Weisswurstteller" (boiled veal sausage with warm potato salad, sweet mustard and pretzel) or "Schwaebische Kaessspatzen" (Swabian style spaetzle sauteed with sweet onions and Gouda cheese and served with a house salad) for 12 dollars each. See their full menu here:<br/><a href="http://schnitzelhausny.com/main/dinner%20menu.pdf"><a href="http://schnitzelhausn" class="linkified">http://schnitzelhausn</a>...</a></p> <p>Those of you doing the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel tour before<br/><a href="http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/calendar/10017256/"><a href="http://www.meetup.com" class="linkified">http://www.meetup.com</a>...</a><br/>can hop on the R train with me which takes us all the way to Bay Ridge. The others meet us at "Schnitzel Haus" at 1.30 p.m. Ask for the upper room and make yourself at home.</p> <p>Website:<br/><a href="http://schnitzelhausny.com/index.html"><a href="http://schnitzelhausn" class="linkified">http://schnitzelhausn</a>...</a></p> Hello 1001ers I thought it would be really fun to put together a list of 1001 really special "NYC" only activities that are true to the character of this city. Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

100183002 295479 <p>Join us for a private wine tasting of Zinfandel wines limited to 10 guests. We will meet at the host’s home: address to be given later. You are asked to bring one bottle of Zinfandel in the $15-$25 range. If you want to splurge and spend more I’m sure we will all enjoy it!</p> <p>If you’ve never tried a Zin, Wine Access describes today’s classic zinfandels as normally being medium to full in body, with fruit-driven aromas and flavors of fresh berries, black pepper, and spices, sometimes with notes of citrus zest or chocolate. As we're sampling we will try to discern aromas and flavors. Come prepared to talk about your wine choice after we have all had a chance to sample it. I encourage you to bring a print out describing your wine to make your task easier. Many online wine shops such as Binny’s have a review available. Still having problems…email me with your wine choice and I’ll help you out!</p> <p>A meet up fee of $11 will be collected to cover the costs of appetizers and the evening’s prizes. Since this event is being hosted in a private home, attendance will be limited to guests known by either the host or organizer from previous wine group events.</p> <p> </p> <p>Meet fellow Wine Enthusiasts! We&nbsp;meet every week&nbsp;to taste new wines; learn about noses and legs; and have a great time. Novices and experts alike are welcome. We&nbsp;meet at various locations in the &nbsp;NW suburbs.</p>
100183032 1579989 <p>This was so much fun that I decided to schedule another hike.  This time we are going to add to this hike, perhaps a little more off trail hiking INCLUDING an additional mile to the hike?</p> <p>Let's take a Hike. This will be a 11.0 <b>or so</b> mile hike, we will try to make it in 3.5. hours.</p> <p>This is <b>not a beginner</b> hike so please keep that in mind before you RSVP.</p> <p>This hike is limited to 20 hikers, because it is a single track for certain portions of this trail. We need to share with bikers that also want to enjoy this wonderful trail.</p> <p><b>If you don't get on this hike...there will be others scheduled, so please don't just show as that is just NOT cool!!</b></p> <p>Please dress accordingly.  I recommend layers, starting cooler as your body will warm up within the first quarter mile.</p> <p>The terrain is hilly with uneven, sometimes narrow trails. Don't forget to bring water and snack for the hike.  We may even find ourselves on all fours to get through some of the off trail terrain.</p> <p><b>We will meet at 8:45am and start the hike at 9:00am sharp. Please be on time.</b></p> <p>We will meet at Bull Frog Lake. Take I-55 to La Grange Road/96th Ave (US 45). Take La Grange Road/96th Ave (US 45) South to 95th Street. Take 95th Street West to Wolf Road. (Wolf Road sign is not marked very well. If you hit Archer Ave. Turn around and it will be the 1st right.) Take Wolf road South about 1/8 of a mile.

We strive for adventures, fun, and friendships. This group is for people who enjoy hiking, being outdoors and meeting new people. We feature hikes for all skill levels, canoeing, camping, biking, social gatherings and other outdoor activities. These events are a great way to get out, meet people, and smell some fresh air. If you have a suggestion, please feel free to contact the Organizer or post them on “ideas for meetup” on the calendar page. Most of the activities are pretty tame, but any participation in this group is at your own risk. If you want to meet fun and adventurous people, this group is for you. Come join us. It will be an adventure you won’t soon forget.</p> <p>Adventures are closer than you think!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Get Involved:</strong></p> <p>We need Assistant Organizers and Event Hosts! If you don't see your preferred activity listed or a hike on your side of town, please volunteer by contacting the Organizer! You might be surprised just how many people are looking to do the same activity that you are. Other ways to volunteer would be a Greeter (Greet new members as they join the group.) or Monthly News Letter Editor (Write articles for a Monthly News Letter to be published on the message board.). We welcome Event &amp; Group Sponsors who need some publicity for a great price!</p> <p>Why not become a Hike Leader?</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Monthly Photo Contest:</strong></p> <p>We are having a Monthly Photo Contest. You have 1 month to upload your favorite photo. At the end of the month, the Assist Organizers will pick the top 12. We will then have a poll for voting on these 12. The members will be able to rate each picture from 1 to 10 rating. The photo with the highest ratings at the end of this month will win. This photo will then be used as the open page picture for following month. The only thing you receive are bragging rights.</p> <p>Upload January Photos Here: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/</a><br> Please name the photo and leave a comment about the photo.</p> <p>So why not amaze the rest of the members with you photography skills?</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>100 Miles Club and 200 Miles Club:</strong></p> <p>Are you looking for a Goal to reach? We have two clubs for you. You join the 100 Miles Club when you reach 100 Miles hiking a year with this group only (Chicago Hiking, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group). You join the 200 Miles Club when you reach 200 Miles hiking a year with any Meetup Groups (Windy City Hikers, this group, etc.). Your Meetup Names will be posted in the About Section in this group.</p> <p>Let’s start counting those miles!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Dues and Fees:</strong></p> <p>There are no membership dues to be part of this group. For prepay events, we will sometimes add up to three dollars, normally 1 to 2, to the payment to help out with the Meetup.com monthly fees.</p> <p>For other events, example hikes, we suggest a 1 or 2 dollar donation at the start of the event. This is totally voluntary. No records will be kept for who donates and who doesn’t.</p> <p>If you want to make a voluntary donation. Go to the top of this page and click on "Pay Online". Enter the amount you would like to donate. Donate any amount you like. This will be paid with Paypal.</p> <p>We would personally prefer if people would donate their time as an Assistant Organizer or Hike Leader versus making a donation of money. Any help is very much appreciated.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p>Other Recommended Outdoors Meetup Groups: If events are full on this group, why not see what these groups are up to.</p> <p> </p> <p>The NW Burbs Camping Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/</a></p> <p>Southwest Suburbs Sports, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/</a></p> <p>Chicago Camping &amp; Outdoors Adventure Group</p> <p><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoCampers/">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoCampers/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Please support Outdoors Meetup Groups!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p>See you on the trail!</p> <p>Kevin</p> <p>PS: Tell a Friend about us!</p> <p>Come find us on Facebook:<br> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gid=251355911863#/group.php?v=info&amp;gid=251355911863" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi</a>...</p>

10018437 47098 <p>Whether you're a newbie wanting to know more, an experienced player looking for a regular game, a DM on the look out for new players, or you fancy playing a fun one-shot adventure on a Sunday afternoon, this meetup will be place to be?! Expect to come and play from noon to 5pm. We'll teach you everything you need to know and supply all the dice etc. All you need to bring is imagination!</p> <p>It takes 34 minutes to get to the location on the Q train from Union Square. The B train doesn't run on weekends.</p> <p><b>Rules for the meetup:</b><br/>This location does not allow outside food. They sell snacks though.</p> <p><b>If you're new:</b> You might not get a spot to play unless you read the rules! Please read the <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYC-DND/messages/boards/thread/4217607">"How It Works"</a> on the message board.</p> <p><b>If you're a DM:</b> RSVP and describe the game you want to run on this meetup's page. List how many players you will take. Say what is expected of players (make characters, etc).</p> <p><b>Players:</b> RSVP and give a preference to what DM's game you would like to play in, or if you'd just like to hang out, state that. At the meetup, spots at gaming tables will be held 30 min. for the first X people who RSVP'd. If you RSVP with a specific DM's name you will get preference for that DM's game over a generic RSVP.</p> <p><br/><b>DM's:</b> --as of 4/18--<br/>WalK(6 spots, FULL) --RSVP's{Seth, JR Delia, Meredith, David B, Nick(1),Stefan}<br/>Victor (6 spots, FULL) --RSVP's{John, Kent, Wackywizard, Sshaun, kentmagus, palama}<br/>Julio (6 spots, 3 open) --RSVP's{Janel, Frederick, george}<br/>James (5 spots, FULL) --RSVP's{+3, Mat, Michael DeFelice}</p> <p>Welcome to the NYC D&amp;D Meetup Group!</p> <p>Dungeons and Dragons is <em>the</em> most popular tabletop role-playing game of all time. The game is played with about 6 players. One person takes the role of storyteller, AKA the Dungeon Master, and narrates the story in a medieval fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, romance, intrigue, and adventure. The rest of the players take on the roles of individual fictional characters and explore that world, often becoming heroes in the story. The story is like a completely interactive "choose your own adventure" book.

10018789 424879 <p>For those of you who remember, we visited this spot two years ago, and it's beautiful. Who knew there was a <b>ravine</b> in Manhattan? There's also a <b>lake</b> and some <b>streams</b> and <b>bridges</b> and more. It's a meditative spot with few visitors.</p> <p><b>We'll meet at the entrance to the park at 103rd street and Central Park West</b> and then walk into the park together. Try to be on time!</p> <p>For those of you new to the group, we usually sketch for a half hour or so and then share our drawings, and then sketch again, etc. Feel free to bring any media you like to work with - pens, pencil, watercolor, pastel, small sketchbook or large paper, whatever suits you. I'll bring nametags and take photos (take a look at past events). It usually lasts 3 hours, but you don't necessarily need to stay the whole time. The event is free and everyone at all skill levels is welcome!</p> <p><i>As usual, if it is raining, we'll meet in the lobby of the Met and sketch there, at 5th Ave &amp; 82nd street.</i></p> <p>Looking forward to sketching with you!</p> <p style="text-align : center"><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/a/1/a/highres_14203546.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px"></p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong><span style="font-size : medium"><span style="color : #416709">Been meaning to draw more?

10018831 1334949 <p>Sorry for the late notice on this, but I wasn't sure of my own schedule until this afternoon. Let's catch what promises to be a riveting Tenement Talk at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum this Wednesday!</p> <p>"Tenement Talks" is a Wednesday night series held in the same space as the Museum's bookstore. This Wednesday's talk is on the horrific Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911 and its effect on legislation and the labor movement. Kevin Baker will be interviewing David Von Drehle, the author of <i>Triangle: The Fire That Changed America</i>, a seminal study of this, one of New York's most infamous occurences.</p> <p><i>Why is this meetup limited to only four attendees?</i><br/>I haven't been to this space before, but when I called the Tenement Museum, they said they expect it to be VERY well attended, which means crowded. Trusting that what they report is true, then it would be very hard to get more than four seats together.</p> <p><i>When and how we will meet that evening:</i><br/>We will meet that evening at 6pm for this 6:30pm event, either on line to get into the seating area, or if seating is available earlier, in those seats. I'll be holding a MEETUP sign so that you can locate us easily.</p> <p>Admission is FREE, but you do need to make a reservation. Please reserve your attendance directly by sending an email to [masked]. I have already sent in my email, so I suggest you do the same as soon as possible.</p> <p>The Lower East Side Tenement Museum opened in 1992 to educate the public about 19th- and early 20th-century tenements and the particular immigrants who lived in one such building. To read more about the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, visit to www.tenement.org</p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><strong>Did you know it was native son Washington Irving who first dubbed New York City “Gotham”,</strong> a century before a certain superhero and his crime-ridden hometown were even thought of? Yes, Gotham is our city, our hometown, whether by birth or adoption! So let’s see the sites that make Gotham aka New York City so unique in the world. We go to exhibits and concerts at museums and unusual venues in the city, some famous, like the Metropolitan Museum, and others a little more off the beaten track, like the Merchant’s House Museum. Whether large or small, they’re all New York—come on along with us on the journey!</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><strong>Our event size is intentionally smaller for two reasons.</strong> First, it's so that all of us in attendance can interact and get to know each other. Second, lecture or film events at these venues usually have very limited seating, meaning I have to get there early and hold the number of seats we need, often against very aggressive people. That means we really need to have an accurate count for our rsvps, especially since our events almost always have a waiting list. <strong>If for whatever reason after you have rsvp'd yes, your plans change and you cannot attend, please change your rsvp as early as possible</strong> both so that those on the waiting list can get a seat at an event, and so I know when all attendees are assembled and can relax my stance against "aggressors". Also, <strong>because the total number of rsvps is so small, on most events there will not be an option to bring a guest. This is because some no-shows had "guests", which really cut into attendance.</strong> Tell your friends to sign up as members themselves if they want to come!</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><strong>Similar to most meetups, "Great Places in Gotham" has a modest $1 organizing fee per event,</strong> payable to me at the start of an event, to offset the subscription cost of maintaining the meetup. Please be sure to read our policy about "no-shows" in the About section, so that we can all enjoy these great places with a minimum of discomfort.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000">Please note: Because we've been kept waiting in lobbies, etc., for folks who didn't bother to change their rsvps, <strong>Great Places in Gotham has a "no-show" policy,</strong> retroactive to February 22, 2009, where any member who incurs ONE no-show with no explanatory emails to me will be permanently removed from our membership rolls and not be allowed to rsvp for any more of our events. After all, would you keep a "friend" who stood you up and never apologized?</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><strong>Like what you see about "Great Places in Gotham"?</strong> Then consider joining our sister group,</span> <span style="color : #000000">Friendly Native New Yorker Walking Tours! </span> (  <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Friendly-Native-New-Yorker-Walking-Tours/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/Friendly-Native...</a> ) </p> <p><br> <br> </p>
10018900 1415937 <p>What will I learn in Photo I?</p> <p>Photo I is a comprehensive class about the fundamentals of photography. While digital imaging is new to photography, "digital" refers only to the way the image is captured and stored. Digital chips replace film. Most of the other facets of photography are more than 150 years old.</p> <p>In Photo I you will learn about correct exposure, what makes the "right exposure" and why. You'll discover the meaning of shutter speeds and f-stops, how to stop motion or let a "subject's motion" blur in just the right way. You will also learn about "depth-of-field": how much of the picture you should have in focus and how to use "out of focus" in just the right way.</p> <p>In Lab you will learn the right way to burn a DVD to save your images permanently. Also in Lab you will learn how to convert your color images to black &amp; white and how to print using a high quality, archival, ink-jet printer. The computer program we use to manipulate photographs is called "LightRoom." It is a program you can afford, and it is much less complicated than Photoshop.</p> <p>Photo I does not teach Photoshop. In the Lab there is at least one teacher for every five students/computers.</p> <p>In Photo I you also will learn about composition for photography and ways to approach the "critique" of photographs-your own, and the work of others.</p> <p>One of the unique features of Photo I is Richard's distinctive three-week assignment, "The Psychological Relationship between the Subject and the Photographer." This assignment will teach you about ethics and law in photography, and about the subtleties of what happens when you point a camera at someone or someone points a camera at you.</p> <p>Each week, you'll get a "shooting" assignment, and in each Lab, a corresponding "print" assignment.</p> <p>After completing Photo I, each student who attended all of the classes and Labs should be able to reliably photograph and print with success and confidence.</p> <p>Photo I lays the proper foundation for the more technical Photo II and Photo III classes.</p> <p>The eight weeks go by fast, but Richard gives you his trademark guarantee:</p> <p>Learning will occur.</p> <p>More details <a href="http://www.chicagophotoclasses.com/classes/photo1details.php"><a href="http://www.chicagopho" class="linkified">http://www.chicagopho</a>...</a></p> <p><b><br/>charge for subsequent classes explained at the first class</b></p> (null)
10018937 1415937 <p>Come and join in a conversation about where the jobs are in photography. Are there jobs in photography? No, not really... well, maybe if you have the right attitude and perspective. And maybe just a little luck.</p> <p>The conversation will be led by a panel of photographers who actually are making money in photography. One has been in the business for 45 years, others started 6 months ago. One is a millionaire and has been published worldwide, others have made a little money and are only known to their friends and neighbors, and, of course, everything in between. The panel will include photographers who have a Masters Degree in Fine Art and photographers who only have a GED. All are making money from photography.</p> <p>* This workshop will not provide any job leads.<br/>* This workshop will not include the review anybody's portfolio.<br/>* This workshop will not have any handouts.<br/>* This workshop will not recommend any one camera or any one camera manufacturer.</p> <p>This workshop WILL have people actually working as photographers and are willing to tell you their story and share their anecdotes.</p> <p>This workshop will help you strategize about how to make some money with your photography. Note-taking is encouraged; bring your own coffee to stay alert. (OK, we'll provide the coffee, but you still have to be alert.) Hangovers not encouraged.</p> <p>3 or 4 hours, $60 for one registration, $100 for two (marriage not required).</p> (null)

You can take a short canoe trip of a few hours, or make a weekend of it and camp overnight in the campgrounds. You can also canoe the lakes if you prefer. The canoe rental and livery makes it convenient to canoe, but you can also bring your own canoe if you register it in Illinois or your home state.</p> <p>The scenic Middle Fork River with its sand and gravel bottom, boulders, high bluffs and varied wildlife will capture your attention as you canoe by.

Remember that camping is only allowed in campgrounds. Swimming is not authorized in the river.

10018987 1415937 <p>Boot Camp for Digital Photography</p> <p>On the first Saturday of each month, Chicago Photography Classes offers a one-day Boot Camp, from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Or 5:00pm, maybe 6. (how passionate are you to learn?)</p> <p>This Boot Camp is for people with a DSLR or for people who are thinking about buying one. If you don't have a camera, we'll have one for you to use. Please bring your camera manual if you have one. If not, don't worry. Be happy. We will teach you what you need to know.</p> <p>This is a workshop is for people just starting out. Our motto: "The less you know, the better we like it." We won't have to un-learn you. In the morning, Richard will go over digital camera settings, "the how and why" of shutter speeds, and the subtleties of apertures (f-stops). He will help you understand "correct exposure" and help you understand and use the "language" of photography. Then you'll shoot two assignments in the neighborhood, so wear your boots.</p> <p>We'll also provide a light lunch.</p> <p>In the afternoon, you'll learn how to save your images and print with an archival ink jet printer. You can print as many 6" X 9" photographs as time allows. A review of your notes and a critique at the end of the day will help you understand what you did wrong—and right—with your pictures.</p> <p>Special bonus: After you've completed this workshop, you will be entitled to call Richard with questions for the rest of his life. ;-)</p> <p>Cost per session is $175; don't forget your boots and bring your own lunch.

10019133 349090 <p>The <a href="http://www.meetup.com/cfinyc/">Center for Inquiry-New York City</a> and the All Souls Unitarian Church are co-sponsoring a panel discussion on the evolutionary origins of religion. Why does religious belief persist? Is there a so-called ”God gene?” What is the relationship between biological and cultural evolution in the development of human religion? How does unselfish behavior fit into the evolutionary mix? Is there really such a thing as “free will,” a basic tenet of many religions? These are a few of the questions to be explored by a panel that includes <b>Randy Thornhill</b>, Distinguished Professor of Biology at the University of New Mexico, and <b>David Sloan Wilson</b>, Distinguished Professor of Biology at SUNY Binghamton.</p> <p>Thornhill, an evolutionary biologist with a special interest in evolutionary psychology, is the author (with T. Craig Palmer) of the controversial and widely reviewed <i>A Natural History of Rape</i> (MIT Press). He has appeared on a wide variety of television shows attempting to expand the public’s knowledge of science, including The Today Show, National Geographic specials, and the BBC. Wilson is the author of <i>Darwin’s Cathedral</i> and <i>Evolution for Everyone: How Darwin’s Theory Can Change The Way We Think About Our Lives</i> (Delacorte Press). His next book, to be published by Little Brown, is titled <i>Evolving The City: An Evolutionist Contemplates Changing the World—One City At a Time</i>.</p> <p>The panel will be moderated by <b>Austin Dacey</b>, a philosopher and author of <i>The Secular Conscience</i>, who writes frequently on issues at the intersection of ethics, religion, and biology. Dacey is CFI’s representative to the United Nations.</p> <p>Admission is free.</p> <p><a href="http://www.centerforinquiry.net/friends">Click here to become a Friend the Center</a>.</p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/3/f/c/event_279249212.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left">Calling all Atheists, Agnostics, FreeThinkers, Humanists, Secularists, Brights, Skeptics, Philosophers, and those who are questioning religion.<br> <br> Gotham Atheists is about secular, science, and social human interactions.<br> Being secular in your approach to life, science minded in your decision making and know we are social humans for a kind, easy going, and helpful group that you want to belong to.<br> <br> With your effort in joining Gotham Atheists you can say your helping push society a little more to a secular world.

10019434 990680 <p>It is said that laughter is the best medicine. I agree completely. Science has proven that a good laugh triggers the release of endorphins, your body’s natural painkillers.

Can’t we just feel it?<br/>And besides, do we really need a reason to laugh?<br/>Isn’t it reason enough that laughing makes you happy?</p> <p>So let’s laugh now.</p> <p>Come to this Laughter Meditation and laugh a little, forget what may be troubling you for a moment, and just laugh.<br/>Laugh till your belly hurts, laugh till you pee in your pants, laugh till you snort.<br/>Laugh because you can.</p> <p>Remember, no matter how tough times may seem, you can always take a moment to laugh.</p> <p><br/>This meeting is Free, but voluntary contributions to the upkeep of ATMA-HOME REIKI CENTER are warmly welcome.</p> <p>With any questions call me at[masked] or email to [masked].<br/>Make sure you check out my website:<br/><a href="http://www.atmahome.com">www.atmahome.com</a></p> <p>Private Session available 7 days a week by appointment.<br/>e-mail me: [masked] or call[masked]</p> <p>Meet with a local people who are interested in Reiki, natural healing and meditation.

10019539 478700 <p>Folks,</p> <p>This month we are trying out having two meetups -- by popular demand -- and a slightly smaller size group so we can all hear each other sing.</p> <p>April 5, 2 to 5 pm<br/>April 26, 2 to 5 pm</p> <p>So please feel free to sign up for one or both. The only rule is if you RSVP YES please come. We took attendance last time (I feel like my second grade teacher) and several people who said they'd come didn't. Two "no shows" and you're not welcome back.</p> <p>Please bring your voices, acoustical instruments and any food you want to share with the group.</p> <p>Coffee, tea and water will be provided.</p> <p>For those new to the group, we sit in a circle and sing folk songs old and new and we project our song book on the wall so that it is easy to read the chords and lyrics. We take turns selecting songs so that everyone gets to sing at least one or two they love. Singers of all levels are welcome.</p> <p>Please check out our songbook and feel free to add songs (with chords) -- it is under Files on the left.</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing you and trying out how twice a month works before we commit!</p> <p>Tammy</p> Our purpose is to have a great time singing and playing all kinds of folk music as a group. Anyone who loves folk music -- from the 60's Woodstock era to the present, including roots music, Irish music and folk/country -- will enjoy this group. We welcome those that can sing and/or play wonderfully and those who like to sing along or just listen. We welcome all acoustic musicians who love the genre and enjoy having others sing along. If as a result of this meetup, other gatherings emerge -- from trips to folk festivals, audiences for open mics or member performances, lists of coffeehouses or great venues -- that will all be gravy.

10019557 478700 <p>Folks,</p> <p>This month we are trying out having two meetups -- by popular demand -- and a slightly smaller size group so we can all hear each other sing.</p> <p>April 5, 2 to 5 pm<br/>April 26, 2 to 5 pm</p> <p>So please feel free to sign up for one or both. The only rule is if you RSVP YES please come. We took attendance last time (I feel like my second grade teacher) and several people who said they'd come didn't. Two "no shows" and you're not welcome back.</p> <p>Please bring your voices, acoustical instruments and any food you want to share with the group.</p> <p>Coffee, tea and water will be provided.</p> <p>For those new to the group, we sit in a circle and sing folk songs old and new and we project our song book on the wall so that it is easy to read the chords and lyrics. We take turns selecting songs so that everyone gets to sing at least one or two they love. Singers of all levels are welcome.</p> <p>Please check out our songbook and feel free to add songs (with chords) -- it is under Files on the left.</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing you and trying out how twice a month works before we commit!</p> <p>Tammy</p> Our purpose is to have a great time singing and playing all kinds of folk music as a group. Anyone who loves folk music -- from the 60's Woodstock era to the present, including roots music, Irish music and folk/country -- will enjoy this group. We welcome those that can sing and/or play wonderfully and those who like to sing along or just listen. We welcome all acoustic musicians who love the genre and enjoy having others sing along.

10019897 1038638 <p>The ghost town of Doodletown, located in the Northeastern corner of the Park. Settled in 1762, Doodletown was a small settlement of loggers and miners. Much of the materials unearthed there were used to build New York City. As the mines went barren and Harriman State Park became protected, the town slowly died. Original buildings and graves going back hundreds of years can still be seen at what is left of the town, an interesting step back into history for those inclined</p> <p>After hiking Doodletown, we will hike up a mountain at Harriman State Park</p> <p><br/>Read more: "Harriman State Park, New York's Backyard: Hiking, Camping, and Boating Close to New York City" - <a href="http://hikingbackpacking.suite101.com/article.cfm/harriman_state_park_new_yorks_backyard#ixzz0AcZvFoPZ"><a href="http://hikingbackpack" class="linkified">http://hikingbackpack</a>...</a><br/>.

Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

10020077 563152 <p>The purpose of this group is to establish a safe place where people can deal with the pain and isolation brought about by the ending of a significant relationship. We are not a singles group or a dating network. Instead, we are a family where it is safe to be ourselves. The goal of the meeting is to help members to develop into healthier, more complete, independent, loving men and women. We hope that by being together, listening to each other, and by sharing our experiences, strength and hope, we will learn to see the value of life in a new context. For the first hour of each meeting members share their experiences. The second half of the meeting is reserved for a guest speaker relating to either the legal or emotional aspects of separation/divorce. We meet every Monday evening at the Church in the Highlands, 34 Bryant Ave. White Plains, New York. We are a mixed group of men and women. There are about 50 members, with approximately 20 attendees per meeting. There are no fees, new members are welcome, no reservation is necessary. We pass a basket at each meeting and suggest a four dollar donation per meeting to cover the cost of the meeting place and coffee/cookies served at the meeting.</p> <p>A 12 Step support group for people who are separating/divorcing or coping with the end of a long term relationship.</p>

10020138 1394848 <p>Come one come all...</p> <p>What to expect from the this meet up:</p> <p>The group is only going to be as good as the members who attend the meetups. I encourage everyone to come &amp; meet like minded people.</p> <p>At the last meetup there was some discussion about doing a collaborative project which I have put on hold until I can get more participation from the members.</p> <p>Casual, laid back fun. This meet up is geared toward people who want to meet other people with the same interests. Where it goes from there is still up in the air it will depend on the group members. My hopes with the group is to let it grow into itself. As new members of all different backgrounds &amp; experience levels join I am hoping to introduce people who have similar interests. Hoping to do some group projects, collaborations. I would like to be able to provide a forum where you can get constructive criticism on your work, if that's what you are looking for.</p> <p>Any &amp; all ideas are welcome. The format is not set in stone. We will be in a bar environment &amp; I encourage people to have open discussions about what you are looking for with all members of the meet up group.</p> <p>In these tough economic times I am trying to think outside of the box to bring people together to network &amp; discuss a passion for the film industry. If you are interested in working in the business I would like this to be a great place to network with others &amp; put yourself out there. You know the old saying it's all about who you know.</p> <p>Meet fellow Film People and TV near you! Come to a local Film and TV Industry Meetup to have fun and make friends with people on both sides of the camera and screen.</p> <p>If you are interested in film making &amp; want to discuss the how to's, the don't do's &amp; all of the in's &amp; out's. Join us for our monthly meet up.</p> <p>All are welcome actors, actresses, screen writers, editors, videographers, cinematographers, directors, if you have an interest in film making or want to learn more about the process this is the group for you.</p> <p>You don't have to travel to NYC to meet with like minded people.</p>
100203262 1583545 <p>This Meetup is a ‘production’ planning event in preparation for our Jan. 26 (Saturday)  3rd-annual sewing event.</p> <p>Last year this type of preparational effort had paid of well.</p> <p>As we learn from event to event, we like to do even better with the up-coming event.</p> <p>Any type of talent you might bring onto the table is welcomed.</p> <p>Thank you . . . your organizer</p> <p><span style="color : #003366">4-days after the 2010 earthquake struck Haiti, Chicagoans of this Meetup started spreading the message that HAITI needs help for a long, long time. One of the inspiration to start this group was an e-mail received 1-day after the earthquake, from Meetup co-founder Scott Helferman. He suggested to think about how to help Haiti by means of using a Meetup.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #003366">Obviously if you’ve donated your share already, kindly pass this information to someone who likes to further help. Honestly your word-of-mouth propaganda work is already of BIG help to our efforts. Thank you!</span></p> <p><span style="color : #272727"><span style="color : #333300">Join now! If you are part of the corporate social responsibility drive or are a socially responsible entrepreneur, or just like to help this is the group to now join.   <em>Haiti needs your help! The only requirement:  A meaningful self-description with 200-250 words (incl. spaces). Exclude your name from the copy, exclude phone, e-mail, www’s and company name from this abstract. Instead mention how you intend to help. What skill or concept will you offer to the group? Ultimately add a little flavor by including an optional snapshot from you. Thank you.</em></span></span></p> <p><span style="color : #272727"><span><span style="color : #241a13">This group is a grassroots movement by volunteers and not fundraisers. Red tape is not on our agenda. We are DOERS. We learnt it’s easier and faster to work on a given project by not asking for monetary donations. We are more eager to attract volunteers with a BIG heart. We proofed this approach works. As of now more than 1 million worth of medical goods (all rescued from landfill) have been delivered to Haiti. Apart the members of this group we are fortunate to count on the on-going support of numerous anonymous helpers spreading all across east of the Mississippi. Age is not an issue with us: One fellow, in his higher 70’s is doing this type of work for 31 years. Another fellow has lifted 30 refurbished mountain bicycles, as found on Chicago’s streets, into a truck. His age is 92 years. Then we have helpers as young as 4 years, who are already “expert tailors”!</span></span></span></p> <p><br> <br> </p> <p><span style="color : #272727"><strong><span style="color : #800000"><em>Summary of our activities:</em> Jan.'10 - Sept.'10<em>:</em></span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #003300">We are proud to report that only due to the simple efforts of this Meetup, Chicagoans started meeting with each other.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #003300">We supported the efforts of (1) 30-ft. retal truck shipment of clothing, toiletry, toys, blankets, dried food, bottled water, soups and rice. This happened during January and February 2010. Disregarding all shipping obstacles, the load was well received in Haiti.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #003300">Members of this group and their friends were instrumental with a shipment of (515) hand-sorted cartons with medical goods, plus gently-used wheelchairs, crutches and walkers. Just imagine this; all items were saved from landfill. All tasks were performed by volunteers - grassroots-style on a shoestring budget. The load left Chicago on a rental truck to Miami and then on a voyage on a 120-ft. schooner "Liberty" to Haiti. One fellow from our orginal Chicago sorting and packing crew was part of the 13-person crew. Project duration: <em>10 weeks</em>. Haiti custom clearance time: <em>1 weekend</em>.

Share your favorite (or least) 'V'ecipes and make, (or offend) new friends. We'll meet at Veggie Heaven in Teaneck, hopefully once a week. after meals there will be board / card games nearby. potlucks, group cooking opportunities, movies, and group video rentals are options. None obligatory. The group welcomes vegans, vegetarians, and raw foodists.<br> Carnivores / Veggie Curious are welcome, but heckling the herd with yarns of animal targetry will result in C/V/C finding themselves face to face with a table of foaming vegans, many of whom may be animal rights activists, and it is these such circumstances that underscore the ACT in activist.<br> In the unlikely event that such should transpire, I myself, being a pacifist, will hide under the table.<br> Seriously, the worst that could happen is someone deviously, inadvertently puts the sizzling tofu platter too close and the heckler gets their eyebrows singed off.<br> As evident by the intro, the only other prerequisite aside from dietary adherence, is a sense of humor. Those lacking will not be humored.<br> Here's looking forward to a good humored meal.</p>

However, as that date falls on a Sunday in 2013, the public swearing-in ceremony will be held on Monday, January 21, 2013.</p> <p>About the Inauguration Ceremony</p> <p>The U.S. Presidential Inauguration swearing-in ceremony has evolved over the years, and different presidents have added their own personal touches to the event. Many of these have become precedents that we still observe today. For example, kissing the Bible, closing with the words, “so help me God,” the inaugural ball and the inaugural parade have all become traditions that new presidents continue to follow. Learn more about some of the highlights of inaugural history below. When you attend the Presidential Inauguration in 2013, you’ll know where many of these traditions came from!</p> <p>From JFK to Barack Obama, young Democrats Abroad have always known that Berlin is the place to be! So come on out and join the Party with Young Democrats Berlin, an activity group for Democrats 35 and under. We are a sub chapter of Democrats Abroad Germany - Berlin chapter. Our meetings run the gamut from brunch to interesting talks to community service to get-out-the-vote efforts. But mostly, we are just here as a social venue for young professional Democrats in the Berlin area. The group language is English.</p>

100211122 1673341 <p>Interested in speed dating on a Friday evening?</p> <p>This event Friday is for men and women at Madame X</p> <p>At present we need women (and only women) aged 21 to 31 although there's a little flexibility in the age range.</p> <p>Also don't worry if only a few people sign up on the Meetup as people will be attending from different sources.</p> <p>Grab friends and come along to Madame X to meet other energetic NYC singles, and pick out those you feel a connection with and would like to meet again.<br/>This promises to be a lot of fun, so you're highly encouraged to come down.<br/>To get your spot, you must RSVP on the MeetUp site AND please also e-mail me directly at <a href="mailto:[masked]">[masked]</a> to say you want to come. As this is a speed-dating event, and the balance of men and women is very important, I will need to correspond with you briefly by e-mail to confirm your attendance. If you're looking for more details about this event, please visit the New York EasyDates website.<br/>Hope you can make it!<br/>regards,</p> <p>Daniel</p> <p> </p> <p>Speed-dating can be expensive. The entry price alone is around $35 to $40, and then you have the drinks and transportation... This would all be fine if you felt pretty sure you were going to meet your one-and-only that night, but often you simply need to go a few times to come across the person that's right for you.</p> <p>Don't get us wrong - we're huge fans of speed-dating. We think it way better than online dating, as you can not beat a quick face-to-face encounter to establish if the chemistry is right. We'd just like to make it a little cheaper, especially in times when we're all being conscious about what we spend our money on. And remember, the product is actually you, and the other 30 fabulous NYC singles attending - why should we pay $40 for that.</p> <p>Our aim is simple - we want to inform our members of cheap or free spots at speed-dating events, and/or ensure that you're enjoying a free or inexpensive drink or appetizers while you there.</p> <p>This is not as hard as you might think. Unlike other singles events, speed-dating companies must almost exactly balance the number of men and women attending. It's not uncommon(for example) for a speed-dating company to be short eight women aged 28-37 the night before the event. They contact us, we shoot for free or maximum $10 spots, and everyone is happy.</p> <p>Now, here's the catch. We need you to play your part - in other words, if you rsvp to say you want to come, then you do need to show up. And at the event, as many of the participants will have paid full price, then to avoid any grumpiness, we would ask that you don't share your discounted or free rate.</p> <p>So if you're someone who is single and looking to date, is budget conscious, and can be a little flexible and spontaneous when offers come your way, then this Meetup group is for you! And there is no downside to joining - we'll simply inform you of free or cheap spots, and if you want to come, you rsvp. We will then contact you to let you know if you have a spot (i.e., you don't have a spot just by RSVPing here, you have a spot once you register with a free or discount code on the speed-dating site).</p> <p>Looking forward to helping you get dates!</p> <p>Jen</p>

100213472 10359 <p>Hello, some of you know me - I'm Dan and I've proposed events as a member of the club in the past. I was thinking we should take a Friday evening and visit the Islamic Art collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Museum is open until 9pm on Fridays. After checking out the exhibit I thought we could go for a coffee or drink to share our impressions of the artwork. One place we could go for a drink is the Petrie Court Café and Wine Bar. It's located inside the museum and is open until 10:30pm on Fridays. To ensure that we get a good discussion of the artwork and its place in Arabic culture I would request we have at least 5 people RSVP in order for this event to take place.</p> <p>Here is a link to the Islamic Art Collection at the Met - <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/about-the-museum/museum-departments/curatorial-departments/islamic-art"><a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/about-the-museum/museum-departments/curatorial-departments/islamic-art" class="linkified">http://www.metmuseum.org/about-the-museum/museum-departments/curatorial-departments/islamic-art</a></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/about-the-museum/museum-departments/curatorial-departments/islamic-art"><a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/%7E/media/Images/About%20the%20Museum/Press/Press%20Images/Exhibitions/2011/ALTICALSA/Teaser_Gallery%20461-Damascus%20Room.ashx?mw=495" class="linkified">http://www.metmuseum.org/%7E/media/Images/About%20the%20Museum/Press/Press%20Images/Exhibitions/2011/ALTICALSA/Teaser_Gallery%20461-Damascus%20Room.ashx?mw=495</a></a></p> <p><br/><i>The Museum's collection of Islamic art ranges in date from the seventh to the nineteenth century. Its nearly twelve thousand objects reflect the great diversity and range of the cultural traditions of Islam, with works from as far westward as Spain and Morocco and as far eastward as Central Asia and India. Comprising sacred and secular objects, the collection reveals the mutual influence of artistic practices such as calligraphy, and the exchange of motifs such as vegetal ornament (the arabesque) and geometric patterning in both realms.</p> <p></i></p> <p><b>History of the Department</b></p> <p><i>Although the Museum acquired some seals and jewelry from Islamic countries as early as 1874, and a number of Turkish textiles in 1879, it received its first major group of Islamic objects in 1891, as a bequest of Edward C. Moore. Since then, the collection has grown through gifts, bequests, and purchases, as well as through Museum-sponsored excavations at Nishapur, Iran, in 1935–39 and in 1947. Until 1932, when the Department of Near Eastern Art was established, all of these objects were overseen by the Department of Decorative Arts. By 1963, the number of objects had increased to a point that necessitated an official departmental division between the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/about-the-museum/museum-departments/curatorial-departments/ancient-near-eastern-art">ancient Near Eastern</a> and the Islamic portions of the collection, and the Department of Islamic Art was founded.<br/></i></p> <p><b>Renovation and Reinstallation</b></p> <p><i>On November 1, 2011, the Museum reopened its fifteen <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2011/new-galleries-for-the-art-of-the-arab-lands-turkey-iran-central-asia-and-later-south-asia">galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia</a>, after an eight-year project in which the galleries were renovated and reorganized in accordance with current thinking in the field and with modern museological practices. The galleries had last been renovated and reinstalled in 1975.</i></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size : medium"><span>?????</span></span> Hello! <span style="font-size : medium"><span>????</span></span> <a href="http://facebook.com/MichaelKimJamalRiegelman">Michael Kim 'Jamal' Riegelman</a>, the Director (<span style="font-size : medium"><span>??????</span></span>)of the <span style="color : #008000"><strong>NYC Arabic Club</strong></span>. <span style="color : #ff0000"><strong>Feel free to call or text me at 1 (347) 523-3937, or email me at MichaelKimRiegelman@gmail.com</strong></span> if you have any questions about our international community.</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/4/b/a/event_10242170.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left"></p> <p> </p> <p><span>Our goal is to bring people together who share a common interest in the diversity and richness of the Arab World - which extends from Ocean to Gulf.</span></p> <p><br> <span style="font-size : medium"><span>????? ?? ????? ??????? ????? ??????? ????????? ?? ???? ????? ???????? ?? ?????? ?????? - ???? ???? ?? ?????? ??? ??????</span>"</span></p> <p><span>We try to break through the stereotypes which so many people have by offering unique cultural and educational experiences for our members and the general public.</span><br> <br> <span style="font-size : medium">??? ?????</span> ??? <span>??????? ???????</span> <span>???</span> <span>?????? ??</span> <span>????? ?? ???? ????? ????? ?????? ??????</span> <span>????????</span> <span>?????</span> <span>????????</span> <span>???????? ?????</span>.</p> <p><span>Our membership is as diverse as NYC - we have multi-cultured members from a wide range of social, economic, religious, and political backgrounds.

100214962 1792664 <p>I've been meaning to organize an event for awhile, and have found the perfect venue!</p> <p>Tassenkuchen is a cute American-style bakery/cafe in Wedding. The pancakes are delicious, but they also have tasty things like omelettes, french toast, breakfast burritos and scones for those with less of a sweet tooth. Coffee drinks are great, too. They also offer french press coffee. All of the products are organic and fair trade, and the owners buy things locally when available. Prices are reasonable, ie: 5 euros for a plate of 4 pancakes with real maple syrup and a side of fruit. More on their website: <a href="http://tassenkuchen.com/about/"><a href="http://tassenkuchen.com/about/" class="linkified">http://tassenkuchen.com/about/</a></a></p> <p>I have reserved their entire back room, where they have a huge table that can seat 18-20, so we should have more than enough space to chat!

100216202 2120261 <p>This may sound like an abstract question (one that people don't really deal with) - but I've been thinking alot about it lately, and it's influenced my choices - particularly lately... I'd love to hear what others think on this topic.</p> <p>Welcome to NYC Socrates Café!</p> <p>Socrates Cafe groups are held all over the world - all groups are similar in many ways, but each is also unique in its own way. The purpose of this group is to bring together people who enjoy discussing philosophical ideas in a roundtable setting. The group focuses on a new topic each month and all members have a chance to share their ideas. At Socrates Cafe, everyone is a teacher and everyone is a student - we all have brilliance to offer. Together we can contribute to building a deeper understanding of some of life's thornier questions.</p> <p>The group will meet around once a month from 7-9 PM. Meeting place is at a spacious café near Herald Square. The first half of the meeting will be a general discussion of the central question. The second half will be a discussion of more specific aspects and questions about the topic.</p> <p>With some flexibility, we will be going around the table (with an option to 'pass') so that everyone has the opportunity to speak. There will also be open discussion as time allows.</p> <p>Note: Take a look at topic ideas under the 'discussion' tab. Look for the 'Current List of Topics' discussion heading. The list of topic ideas will be added to at the end of each meetup and by member emails (topic ideas may be edited or reworded for clarity).</p> <p>Looking forward to sharing a community that supports 'the examined life'!</p> <p> </p> <p><br> <br> </p>

100219192 5717192 <p><b>Bayesian Reasoning and Evolutionary Biology</b></p> <p><i>A talk by Dr. Ivan Phillips</i></p> <p>After reading and learning about the theory of evolution, many of us (and almost all biologists) find the theory to be quite compelling. The theory makes sense to us. It just seems ‘right’. However, as people who aspire to be rational, we don’t want to accept theories merely on the basis that they 'seem right' or that they are persuasive in some vague manner. We prefer to accept theories after they have been formally justified.</p> <p>Bayesian reasoning is a formal way to update one’s beliefs in the face of new evidence. In this presentation, I’ll explain the basic principles of Bayesian reasoning, and show how they apply to the evidence for evolutionary biology.</p> <p> </p> <p><i>NOTE: Due to the number of attendees, we've had to move the location a second time, now to Sofra Turkish Kitchen. They have food and drinks and plenty of space. Please order food and drink. Thank you, and sorry for the confusion!</i></p> <p> </p> <p>This is a group for anyone interested in arts, business, lectures, music, science, technology, outdoors, family events, education, book clubs and any event that can be organized with a secular approach.</p> <p>If you are an Agnostic, Atheist, Non-Religious, Freethinker, Rationalist, Secular, Skeptic, Cynic, Secular Humanist, Naturalist, Deist, 'Nothing,' or any number of non-religious descriptives, you belong here.</p> <p>Visit us at our Facebook page here:</p> <p>https://www.facebook.com/pages/NOgodsLAND/384418098283746</p> <p> </p> <p>If you are interested in participating as an organizer, or as a lecturer, please, send us an email.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p> </p>

100219922 5717192 <p><b>Confusion and distortions in thinking about "race" in a diverse society</b></p> <p>A Talk by: Gerhard Schutte</p> <p>Gerhard Schutte on Gerhard Schutte:</p> <p> "Gerhard Schutte grew up in South Africa during the heydays of apartheid. As an undergraduate he first thought that religion could conscientize society, but gave up on this idea after coming to grips with its role in the colony and post colony. He pursued graduate studies in social anthropology at the University of Heidelberg in Germany.</p> <p>Back in South Africa he taught at the 'liberal' University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and did research into the effects of racial discrimination on African populations. In 1986 he emigrated to the US where he taught at several universities.</p> <p>A grant from the MacArthur Foundation funded research on race relations in South Africa and the USA. Currently, after his retirement from the University of Wisconsin, he is writing a monograph on 'Mixed Race'."</p> <p>Dr Schutte was an activist at the time of Apartheid, and has some fascinating data to share.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>No cover, but please buy a drink - anything from 7-up to hard liquor.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>This is a group for anyone interested in arts, business, lectures, music, science, technology, outdoors, family events, education, book clubs and any event that can be organized with a secular approach.</p> <p>If you are an Agnostic, Atheist, Non-Religious, Freethinker, Rationalist, Secular, Skeptic, Cynic, Secular Humanist, Naturalist, Deist, 'Nothing,' or any number of non-religious descriptives, you belong here.</p> <p>Visit us at our Facebook page here:</p> <p>https://www.facebook.com/pages/NOgodsLAND/384418098283746</p> <p> </p> <p>If you are interested in participating as an organizer, or as a lecturer, please, send us an email.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p> </p>

10022073 54258 <p>We're testing a new format this month (two events on the same day) that we hope will enable us to continue to enjoy all of our venues and keep attendance at each event at a safe and manageable level. This gives everyone more flexibility on time and enables us to continue to use our venues that cannot accomodate large crowds.</p> <p>This means selecting your time and entering your RSVP with the correct number of attendees especially important. Your RSVP counts for you and your bulldog(s). If you are coming with a spouse, partner, kids, other family members, etc., each of those people counts as an additional guest. If you RSVP YES but your plans change and you cannot attend, please be courteous to other members and update your RSVP to NO so a spot opens for them.</p> <p>Our "Tailgate Party" celebrates the start of baseball season in Chicago. This second half of our April double play starts at 1:30PM and ends at 3:30PM. Assuming we can get a satellite signal, we'll be following the Chicago White Sox v. Tampa Bay Rays game. If you are a marathon member from the Brunch Bunch, you are free to stay for the Tailgate Party however you will be asked to leave the space during the 1/2 hour intermission and <b>you will be required to pay a second admission to reenter.</b></p> <p>It's baseball fare at this tailgate party- hot dogs, Mello's popcorn, beer, soda, water, and cookies while they last. The weather for Sunday is looking grim and we will probably get rained out of Central Bark's outdoor batter's box so we will probably be in the indoor stadium for the entire event. This will be a full house so please utilize the entire space.</p> <p>Admission for the April events is $5.00 per person and $3.00 for each child &lt;16. <b>This event is at capacity so, if you RSVP'd YES and your plans have changed, please be courteous to your fellow members and update your RSVP to make room for someone on the waiting list. If you are on the waiting list and do not receive confirmation that you have moved to the guest list, please join us in May as we will be unable to increase the capacity at this event.</b></p> <p>Welcome to The Original Chicago English Bulldog Meetup Group where awesome bulldogs and their Moms and Dads unite to share their love and interest in this great breed!</p> <p>At over 1,900 members that literally circle the globe, we are the largest and one of the oldest English Bulldog Meetup Groups in the US and within the worldwide Meetup network. Our knowledgable members interact through our Message Board sharing wonderful stories and valuable health and behavioral information about owning and caring for an English Bulldog.</p> <p>We are also proud to support the work of adoptaBull English Bulldog Rescue and the work that many of our Meetup Group members dedicate to this great group. These dedicated volunteers are making a huge impact on the enormous need for people to step up and help bulldogs in crisis. Please watch for our events throughout the year that directly support this great organization.</p> <p>If you live within driving distance of Chicago, we would love to have you and your bully attend one of our "live" Meetup events. We are celebrating our 8th year of organizing monthly events that you AND your bulldog can attend.</p> <p>These fantastic two hours of fun, play and socializing are held on the third weekend of every month and are attended by our members from Chicago, the Chicagoland suburbs and all of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. They're a great time and a perfect way to meet new friends that share your passion for these incredible dogs!</p> <p>We're glad you are here and hope you enjoy the group!</p>

The project site I am at is :project #39 at Sutherland Elementary School. Unfortunately they changed the rules a little this year in that you can't sign up "teams" for free.

Howeve I'm told they won't guarantee it. Since I am a Project Site Manager for this location, I have to be on site and can't meet you all at Grant Park for the kick off. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. For future "group volunteer" events I will look for another organization that may better fit our needs.

NY Tech Mixer provides the New York Tech community with a space where members can meet, socialize, and talk tech in a fun and informal setting. As usual with our Demos &amp; Drinks events, the format is a mix of both networking and demos. We'll have five startups give lightning-round demos, followed by general networking and hanging out. In the past, we've had a healthy, broad mix of entrepreneurs, technologists, and investors - anyone interested in tech and the NY startup scene is welcomed!</p> <p> </p> <p>Lineup:</p> <p><a href="http://datemapps.com/">DateMapps</a> - Fouad ElAmir, CEO &amp; Founder<br/>DateMapps is the social date-planning app that integrates all the tools you need to plan for an awesome date in one simple, easy-to-use platform.

To find a date itinerary that best meets the needs for a particular date, the user can select among the list available and and filter by type of date, location, and budget, among other key date preferences. Launching in February, the company currently has over 1,000 active users in its Open Beta phase. We are also currently seeking seed investors, a full-time CTO or Tech Co-Founder, and an Advisor.</p> <p><a href="http://www.tasteshindig.com/">Shindig</a> - Harry Raymond, Co-founder / CEO<br/>Shindig started with a simple question: "What the hell was the name of that drink?"

We’re looking for investors for our seed round and a CTO to join our team.</p> <p><a href="http://www.myaidin.com/">Aidin</a> - Russ Graney, Founder/CEO<br/>Aidin is a healthcare technology company bringing transparency, data and patient-friendly guidance to help patients choose the best healthcare providers available. Aidin is used by hospital staff to generate listings of healthcare providers available to serve patients after they leave the hospital (like nursing homes and rehab facilities). Aidin tracks outcomes data to show hospital staff and patients which providers are most successful working with which patients - helping people find the best match for their individual health needs. We are re-imagining how healthcare software can look and feel and building a tool that, for the first time, incentivizes providers to improve the quality of care they offer - Think Yelp for healthcare. We're currently piloting in several large academic hospitals and looking to bring on 1-2 Rails developers.</p> <p><a href="http://vibearound.com">VibeAround.com</a> - Hazem Sayed, Founder/CEO<br/>Vibearound publishes Vibe, the mobile app for putting thoughts on a map and connecting with people based on where they are, instead of who they are.

10022679 241031 <p>The regular season is approaching fast! It is our tradition to hold it at this place for the opening of the season. And as the tradition goes with the Yanks, they always open on a weekday during the day which I can't do it, it will be on a weekend. It's our first homestand, first home series... Since I'm going to the game on 4/18, I'd like to hold it on the 19th. Sunday, 1pm that is.</p> <p>Let's meet for lunch, brunch, good baseball talks, etc. And please, I hope all of you give some slack to A-Rod and not booing him but cheer him on as a member of the greatest team we root for. :)</p> <p>June</p> <p>This is the group for any Yankees fans old and new!!</p> <p>We hope to meet other Yankee Fans, share some good laughs and drinks while watching the games, go to the games, but most importantly to just have a good time.</p>
100227292 3587272 <p>Hey Uptown Runners! Let's keep our weekly Saturday run going - how 'bout six miles tomorrow morning? We'll meet at the Starbucks at Bryn Mawr and Winthrop (right off the Bryn Mawr red line) and then head over to the lake shore path for approximately three miles down and three miles back. All are welcome - pace will be somewhere in the 9 - 11 min/mile range.</p> <p>Welcome to Uptown Runners!</p> <p>Though Chicago is full of devoted runners, many of the groups meet in Lincoln Park. But why head down there? We've got beautiful stretches of lakefront path and terrific, fun neighborhoods to run through right here in Uptown. The goal of this group is to connect with other runners in the area and find running buddies!</p> <p>Organizers will host 2-3 runs a week, but all members host runs themselves. Want company on your 6:00 am 6 mile run each Wednesday morning? Post the run! Want to run a 9 min pace for 4 miles on a Thursday afternoon? Schedule it! Think it would be fun to run 3 then go to one of our nifty neighborhood restaurants for a beer? So do I! Anyone can host a run!</p> <p>Our group is over 100 people strong, and this group is what we make it! Looking forward to connecting with more Uptown runners!</p> <p>Questions? Ideas? Just email me!</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing you soon!</p> <p>Dinah</p>

100229862 3196712 <p><b>Bayesian Reasoning and Evolutionary Biology</b></p> <p><i>A talk by Dr. Ivan Phillips</i></p> <p>After reading and learning about the theory of evolution, many of us (and almost all biologists) find the theory to be quite compelling. The theory makes sense to us. It just seems ‘right’. However, as people who aspire to be rational, we don’t want to accept theories merely on the basis that they 'seem right' or that they are persuasive in some vague manner. We prefer to accept theories after they have been formally justified.</p> <p>Bayesian reasoning is a formal way to update one’s beliefs in the face of new evidence. In this presentation, I’ll explain the basic principles of Bayesian reasoning, and show how they apply to the evidence for evolutionary biology.</p> <p> </p> <p><i>NOTE: Due to the number of attendees, we've had to move the location a second time, now to Sofra Turkish Kitchen. They have food and drink and plenty of space. Please order food and drink. Thank you, and sorry for the confusion!</i></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/e/d/a/event_89924762.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : right">This group is a place to meet others interested in rationality and cognitive bias. Come learn with us... and socialize, too!</p> <p>Since Kahneman and Tversky pioneered the science of human decision-making in the 1970's, researchers have developed a good understanding of how humans reason relative to the ideal. However, much of this research on cognitive bias has yet to trickle down into popular culture. The goal of Rational Future meetups is to promote the public understanding of rationality and human cognitive bias.</p> <p>This meetup group is for anyone who wants to gain better insight into their own reasoning and the reasoning of others. It's also for people who want to devise systems that help us think better.</p> <p>Teachers! How best to teach about cognitive bias and rationality?</p> <p>Managers! Should rational thinking and cognitive bias be part of every management degree syllabus?</p> <p>No special expertise is required, and most of our discussions will be entry-level. We'll focus on accessible, science-based explanations of rationality and bias (cognitive dissonance theory, bounded rationality, introspection illusion, attribute substitution, etc.).</p>

We have mountain/off-road bikers that ride at Mianus Park after work during the week, and street riders that meet for casual rides as well a fast paced endurance rides around Stamford.</span></p> <p><span>This Meetup is actually a social networking forum more than a group.  The forum is a means for people in the biking community to find each other and get together for rides.  As such SBMG welcomes and support community originated event.</span> <span>You can think of the</span> <span>SBMG website as a community message board dedicated toward bicycling in Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Rowayton, and beyond.</span> <span>When you are thinking about doing a bike ride, please use the SBMG to find others that are also interested.</span></p> <p><strong>Who We Are</strong></p> <p><span>The Stamford Bicycling Meetup</span> Group (SBMG) is a group of bicycle enthusiasts looking to meet up with others to go cycling. This group is for people of all skill levels and of all biking types (recreational, endurance, leisure, mountain, road, etc.). We meet regularly for in Stamford, Greenwich, and Rowayton, Norwalk, but also plan meetups in other areas, for rail trail, road, and off-road rides.</p> <p><span>If you are a beginner, this is the place to start. You will meet others who can give you advice before you buy any gear. If you are an experienced cyclist, this group is an ideal way to meet other bikers to talk about gear, local routes, and to plan trips. Cyclist of all levels are welcome!</span></p> <p><span>SBMG is a social network forum, not a club, training facility, or outfitter. All events are common adventures, are</span> <strong>non-autocratic</strong> <span>in nature, and not for profit (unless hosted specifically by a business, institution, or outfitter following a different liability model). SBMG, its organizers, and its members assume no legal and or civil responsibility for or to any individual or event.</span></p> <p><strong>We Encourage Safe Cycling</strong></p> <p><span>We suggest for safety reasons that everyone ride with a helmet, in a legal manor, and in a cycle-pods of three to five. The forum makes it possible for novice, intermediate, and advanced bikers to find each other and form safe ride pods. Road cyclists should follow rules of the road.  Off road bikers should follow rules of the park.  The social nature of the group allows members to share safety tips and skills in a non-structured friendly format.  Safety is your responsibility!</span></p> <p><strong>How We Set Up Events</strong></p> <p><span><span>The Stamford Bicycling Meetup</span> Group (SBMG)  is not a leader-dictated Meetup group, but a member-driven forum. Bicycle enthusiasts are welcome to join the forum and suggest locations for common-adventure rides.  All members can suggest a place, date, and time for a bike-ride event.  In fact, SBMG relies heavily on individual members to put events on the calendar.</span></p> <p><span>When two other members decide to attend the suggestion moves to the calendar and is announced to the group as an event.  (Some events are moved to the calendar by one of</span><span>the</span><span>SBMG moderators</span><span>with less than three people on the RSVP list.)</span> <span>Once it is on the calendar it is no longer a suggestion, but an event and it gets announced to the group by e-mail.  Whenever you visit the SBMG page,</span><span>you should check the SUGGESTED events page to see if there is a suggested event that you might want to attend.</span></p> <p><span>Many people worry that if they suggest a ride too many bikers will show up and they would be responsible for a large group.  Most of the SBMG events attract about 1% of the members, which is about 2 to 4 bikers. That is just the right size for a group ride. Members just need to be specific on the day, time, and place (as well as bike-ride type, skill level, pace, etc.) when making a suggestion.  The events are common adventures, so you are not responsible for others, just yourself, but there is always safety in numbers.  However, you should be very specific about the bike-ride type, skill level, and pace of your suggested ride.  It is not a good idea for bikers of a single pod</span><span>to have</span><span>a mixed expectation of the ride... it just leads to disappointment and a ride pod break down.  In short, be clear in your suggestion description and others with like-minded</span><span>thinking will join you (i.e. clearly state road ride, mountain bike ride, novice, intermediate, advance, short, long, fast pace, leisure pace, free-ride, trail-ride, etc.)</span></p> <p><span>SBMG wants all its members to feel free to make ride event suggestions. Such suggestions can be novice leisure rides in a park or rail-trail (with picnic and frequent stops), intermediate-level day road rides, or advanced-skill mountain bike rides. Anyone can take the initiative to add bike-ride events to the calendar. And, this is the best way to get events that work for your personal schedule and skill level so you never have to ride alone.</span></p> <p><strong>Ideas for Meetups</strong></p> <p><span>We are interested in finding racers and triathlon riders that want to do a more rigorous training ride.  If you are interested in training with others then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is fast-paced and rigorous.</span></p> <p><span>We are have many members that want to meet up for local leisure exercise in local streets and parks.  Cycling is an ideal way to relieve the stress of the day and to get the 30 to 60 minutes of cardio recommended for a healthy life-style.  The</span> <span>SBMG forum is the ideal way to get the benefits of cycling while also forming a network of like-minded people to socialize with before, during and after the ride.</span> <span>If you are interested in daily exercise bike rides that are not rigorous training ride but more leisure in nature, maybe along the route to Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, or between Cummings Beach and Shippan Point in Stamford, or along Shore road in Old Greenwich, or where ever, then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is leisure-paced and exercise oriented.</span></p> <p><span>We are always looking for people to lead recreational rides throughout Connecticut and the neighboring states.  If you are interested in exploring the many bike routes and rail/trails in the area or doing multi-night bike touring others then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is leisure-paced and recreational in nature.</span></p> <p><span>Our most active group members are mountain bikers.  We have novice to advanced mountain bikers that post off-road rides, mostly in Mianus River Park on the Stamford, but if you are looking to meet up with people to ride other locations then we encourage you to post suggestions.   In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is off-road.  State the paced and style of your ride.  Use descriptors such as cross-country, trail, free-ride, and dirt jumping as these are well known terms.  Also, state if your ride suggestion is novice, intermediate, or advanced in nature.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><br> </span></p>

If you like to go camping, fishing, crabbing, dancing, movies, dinner, concerts, beaches, traveling then this would be the group for you to join.</p>
100234152 1588080 <p>I admit it: I relied wholly on Google for a catchy title this time around. While randomly entering terms into the greatest search engine thus far developed, I learned something that took me aback. As it turns out, there exists not only a fear of writing (graphophobia), but a fear of writing in public! For some odd reason, I don't think that this is a problem from which many of us in Just Write Chicago suffer. ;-)</p> <p>We will be having our usual Tuesday night meetup: we will begin to write independently at 7:00 p.m., then re-convene for group discussion at 8:30 p.m.</p> <p>NOTE TO NEW MEMBERS: When you arrive at Dollop, please come find me to let me know that you have arrived. I will come find you at 8:30 pm for discussion time. I will be sending out an email when I get to Dollop letting all of the attendees know where to find me.</p> <p>Happy Writing!</p> <p>First and foremost:</p> <p><strong>We are not a critique group.</strong></p> <p><strong>We are not a workshop group.</strong></p> <p><strong>We are a group of writers who get together to...just write.</strong></p> <p>This is a group that meets to WRITE, to socialize, and to offer encouragement and inspiration to others as we practice our craft. We're focused on the process, not the product.  Writing can be a solitary activity...but it doesn't have to be.</p> <p>This is a group where the focus is actually on DOING the work as opposed to critiquing already finished works. I found so many groups on meetup focused on the critique, but none focused on motivating each other to get the writing done. So if you need motivation to get started, set a writing schedule, keep at it, or finish that novel, this group is for you.</p> <p>We meet on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays on the north side of Chicago, Fridays on the northwest side of Chicago, and Wednesdays on the south side of Chicago.</p> <p>For more information on Just Write Chicago, please refer to our new Policy &amp; Procedures manual which can be found under <strong>More -&gt; Files</strong>.</p> <p>Stay creative.</p>

10023585 1412374 <p>Tao, Art and Life</p> <p>By Robert Morgan</p> <p>The Tao literally means the Way. The Way is what is omniscient and sustainable in a world given to deceit. It is the sustaining energy behind all matter and all events that exist in the temporal world. For some it is a religion, and for others a guiding philosophy on how to live one’s everyday life. As a philosophy, it spread from China into all parts of Asia, the Middle East, and finally -- by the nineteenth century -- it began to appear in the Western world. Taoism offers human beings a spiritual dimension in their lives by advocating the Way in accord with nature. The inscribed teachings of Lao-tzu reveal nature as the embodiment of opposites:</p> <p>“Things are the manifestation of being.<br/>Being comes from non-Being.” (Chapter 40)</p> <p>Therefore, we might call the Tao Te Ching a system of knowledge whereby its followers learn to live harmoniously with nature. In contrast to Western philosophy, opposites, such as Being and non-Being,<br/>are not separate but exist in a complementary relationship to one another. They follow the principles of the Tao. Thus, Being depends on Non-Being -- a principle revealed in the symbol of the yin-yang where all opposites are unified to become a single source of energy. Creation depends on destruction. Light depends on darkness. Life depends on death. According to the teachings of Lao-tzu, these opposites create a kind of paradox equal to what appears and reappears omnipresent in nature.</p> <p>More than a century later, Chuang-tzu, a follower of Lao-tzu began to interpret the Master’s teaching in ways that offered an alternative to the more systemic teaching of the northern sage, Confucius. Whereas Confucius was more specifically interested in a systematic moral code by which to live, Chuang-tzu offered a more flexible interpretation of moral principles based directly on the observation and interpretation of nature.<br/>According Chuang-tzu, the Tao is at the foundation of all moral beliefs in that, through nature, it sustains an unyielding force. The Tao exists within time. It follows the “watercourse” way – the way water descends from the mountain peaks into rivers and streams, cascades and waterfalls, until it finally settles in repose at the base of the mountains.</p> <p>The wisdom of the Tao Te Ching is applicable to many circumstances and occasions. It has been cited and recalled throughout history as a source of enlightenment, as a universal philosophy, that nourishes our thinking and feeling about everyday live. The Tao is especially useful for Westerners to reconsider their lives in relation to a spiritual life that goes beyond material striving and the suffocation of the commercial media. Given the Western notion of the split between the material and the spiritual, between the Self and the Other, and, from a psychoanalytic point of view, between the Ego and the Id, the Tao offers an available alternative. Rather than calling upon the separation of the Self from the world, why not bring the two together.</p> <p>The teachings of Lao-tzu offer this wisdom by taking us back, not only to another historical and cultural epoch in the recent history of humankind, but to asking the important question as to what is necessary to sustain our lives in a world that is rampant with fear, anxiety, greed, and the destruction urge for annihilation. What can we do for ourselves and for one another at the damn of globalization that will improve the quality of life and lift our awareness of the Tao as a sustaining force in our everyday lives? How do we heal the split – the conflicting dualities – that virtually drive the engine of despair in Western thought and action, including politics and economics? The Tao is not a miracle worker, but a source of energy for those willing to work hard to discover that nature is not something outside of oneself but something that is embedded deeply within us all – the Tao.</p> <p>ROBERT C. MORGAN</p> <p>As an art critic devoted to the impact of globalization on contemporary art and culture, Robert C. Morgan has also written literally hundreds of catalogs, monographs, essays, and reviews on artists throughout the world and is translated into 17 languages. His books include Art into Ideas: Essays on Conceptual Art (Cambridge, 1996), The End of the Art World (Allworth, 1998), and The Artist and Globalization (2008). In addition he has edited important books on the work of Gary Hill and Bruce Nauman (Johns Hopkins, 2000 and 2002), and on the late American critic, Clement Greenberg (University of Minnesota, 2003). He serves as an editorial consultant and regular contributor to The Brooklyn Rail, a contributing editor to Sculpture Magazine and GLASS Quarterly, and a New York correspondent to Art Press (Paris).</p> <p>This group shares Tao, the Art of tea,Chinese culture and contemporary Chinese Artworks. You will be enlighten to a new philosophy and a way of living which will enhance your understanding of the universe. As human beings, we need to live in harmony with nature. However, we are not leaving in a peaceful world now: financial tsunami, mental and economic depressions, health and healcare crisis, resources shortages, global warming, religious conflicts... These signs of social, economic and cultural tensions are rampant today, causing extreme confusion, anxiety, and turbulence. Wisdom of Tao, Art of Tea are the perfect combination to get relaxed, refreshed and inspired.</p>

100236592 268875 <p>Start the weekend right with a walk. Come join me for an hour/3 mile walk through Forest Park and Oak Park. The forecast calls for good weather: 38 degrees &amp; clear.</p> <p>Note: 1.The walk is not starting at the usual location of Constitution Court, but at Harvard St. &amp; Circle Ave. (which is the intersection 3 blocks West of &amp; 2 blocks North of Roosevelt)There is plenty of street parking.</p> <p>2. The walk will start at 6:30 pm instead of the usual time of 7:30.</p> <p>3. I will wait 5 minutes for latecomers before starting the walk. If you know you are going to be a few minutes later than 5, please let me know &amp; I will accommodate you.</p> <p>Meet other local people who are interested in walking for fitness! We'll meet up to walk around Oak Park/River Forest/Forest Park and on local trails. We've also been known to do a little hiking, biking, eating and drinking as a group.</p> <p>To lose weight and to keep it off, you need to get moving. Walking at a moderate pace for 30-60 minutes burns stored fat and can build muscle to speed up your metabolism. Walking an hour a day is also associated with cutting your risk of heart disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes and stroke. Isn't it time to work 1-hour walks into your busy lifestyle?</p>
100236802 1749107 <p>Midnight run is a great opportunity for us to bridge a gap between the people with homes and the homeless. We meet at the DRVC Office pack the van full of food and clothes for the homeless. Than we travel into Manhattan with scheduled stops. Not only do we hand out the clothes and food we become friends with the people. We have been doing this for two years. If you ask any of the regular crew we will all say it has been a blessing in our life!</p> <p>We invite all Catholic young adults in their 20's, 30's and 40's who would like to participate in spiritual groups and activities and want to be part of a vibrant community of young believers here on Long Island! This site is intended to serve as a platform where you can look to find out about upcoming young adult group meetings, holy hours, service opportunities and all kinds of special events and happenings here in the Diocese.</p> <p><br />If you would like to develop friendships with other young people of faith and would also like to enrich your own spiritual life, you can use our events calendar to find great Catholic groups to become part of and various spiritual events to attend.</p> <p><br />Young adult ministry is a vital part of the New Evangelization of the Church called for by Pope John Paul II, and is absolutely crucial for the future of the Faith. Please consider this meetup site to be an invitation to help us strengthen the Body of Christ here on Long Island. Please help us spread the word about this site to others and, of course, please try to spread the Good News of Christ wherever you go.</p> <p><br />We look forward to meeting you sometime soon and may God richly bless you!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><br />To find out even more information about the Young Adult Ministry of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, visit our page on the Diocesan website: <a href="http://www.drvc.org/yaministry" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.drvc.org/yaministry" title="http://www.drvc.org/yaministry" target="_blank">http://www.drvc.org/yaministry</a></a></p>

In Life.</strong></p> <p><span style="color : #000080">Hi, I’m Kate Gaffin. I’m a lifelong entrepreneur and entrepreneurial energy is my absolute favorite kind. I created 'Connecting to Greatness' because I wanted to create a better, more rewarding and even fun networking experience.  And over the last couple of years, I've been invited to teach my style of Business Networking and 'Warm' Marketing to Diplomats at the British Consulate, Students and Alumni at Pace, Barnard and the Institute of Integrative Nutrition as well as to thousands of Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs across the US.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000080">~~~~~~~~</span></p> <p><strong style="color : #000080 ; font-size : 16px"><span style="color : #800080">Featured on Fox Business News. Quoted in the Wall Street Journal</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : #000080">To read a story on Fox News about my brand of Networking and Business Building, please click below:</span></strong></p> <p><span style="color : #000080"><a href="http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2010/07/04/networking-heart/">http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2010/07/04/networking-heart/</a></span></p> <p><span style="color : #000080">Connecting to Greatness is a different kind of networking group. Instead of simply throwing people into a room with no focus or no common goal, we strive to enlighten professionals on how to network more effectively and build their business more authentically. We want our attendees walking away from our gatherings with insight on what to do with all the business cards they’ve collected and how to cultivate powerful alliances with those they meet. And we want to give our attendees the insights to grow the kind of business success they’ve always dreamed of.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000080">In 2014, Connecting to Greatness will host an event every two to three weeks. Some events will be ‘mix and mingles' with some kind of structured activity as its focal point. We will also be repeating our very popular Gallery Wine and Dessert events. Other events will have presentations given by inspiring leaders in the world of success building and I myself will give repeat presentations on my most popular topics from last year. Occasionally, we will also run our ‘Speed Networking for Professionals’ events as these highly structured gatherings can be VERY productive ways to make new connections…when certain techniques are used to make them so. These techniques are shared at the events.</span></p> <p><strong><span style="color : #000080">Finally, we will continue to host our very popular ALWAYS Sold Out, 'Bagels and Business' morning events.</span></strong></p> <p><span style="color : #000080">Come out and join us at our next Connecting to Greatness event. We attract a wonderful and inspiring group of NYC area professionals.

However, we stand on the edge of a major contraction in fossil fuel supply. The energy sources we are increasingly looking to for the future are largely a cruel mirage.</p> <p><br/>As energy availability declines, we will increasingly be facing other limits to growth. There will be less energy available for resource extraction and transportation, or to address the inevitable externalities generated in the process. The implication is that life will of necessity become increasingly local and much less resource intensive. We must learn to adjust our expectations accordingly. Fortunately, there is much we can do to use resources far more sparingly and effectively. It is critical to make the adjustment while conventional energy is still available, meaning that we must begin at once.</p> <p>If you'd like to learn more about Nicole, KMO interviewed her in January 2012 for the C-Realm Podcast, available at:<br/><a href="http://c-realm.com/podcasts/crealm/293-infinite-rehypothecation/"><a href="http://c-realm.com/podcasts/crealm/293-infinite-rehypothecation/" class="linkified">http://c-realm.com/podcasts/crealm/293-infinite-rehypothecation/</a></a></p> <p>Nicole Foss is Senior Editor of The Automatic Earth; she previously wrote under the name Stoneleigh.

10023886 1305506 <p>This brisk-paced challenging 9-mile hike will start with a fun scramble up Breakneck Ridge (VERY STEEP!) then traverse the ridge before bouncing over to Taurus via the Cornish Estate, then back to Breakneck via the Undercliff.</p> <p>Early bailouts for those with less time and/or energy.</p> <p>This hike is not suitable for beginners or anyone with a fear of heights.</p> <p>Bring lunch and 2 liters of water. No sneakers.</p> <p>If coming by public transportation:</p> <p>Take the 8:50am Hudson Line train from Grand Central Station to Breakneck Ridge.</p> <p>Driving Directions</p> <p>Take the Palisades Interstate Parkway to its northern terminus at the Bear Mountain Bridge. Cross the bridge and proceed north on N.Y. Route 9D for about 8.5 miles to the Village of Cold Spring. Continue ahead on Route 9D for another two miles past the intersection with N.Y. Route 301 in Cold Spring. Immediately after passing through a tunnel under Breakneck Ridge, park in a small parking area on the left (west) side of the road. (If this parking area is full, continue north for another 0.2 mile to a much larger parking area on the west side of the road).</p> <p>Young professionals (age 21 to 35) that are interested in social events and outings revolved around the outdoors.</p> <p>Ask to join the Facebook group to find out about more trips: https://www.facebook.com/groups/AMCNYCYP/</p>

Then we will see live action shorts at 1 pm. Stay in that same theater for the animated shorts at 3:25, going to dinner thereafter at 5 pm around the big corner to Blossom on Carmine. Recommend joining at any point, noting coming in for the animated shorts only is typically quite difficult as most people stay in their seats from the prior screening of live action shorts. Likewise, you are welcome to leave at any point. It's a good idea to bring your own water bottle and a snack or two for the middle afternoon.</p> <p><span>Hello there!</span></p> <p><span>NYC Vegan EatUP promotes connecting for community and compassionate cuisine around the New York City metro and beyond.

Learn how to participate in caving adventures, whether locally on day trips, or in Pennsylvania and upstate New York on weekend trips, week long trips throughout the US, and longer expeditions throughout the world. Loaner equipment (helmets &amp; head lamps) and training provided. We are a mixed group, ranging from those who explore simple cave systems without the aid of any special technical equipment and training, to those who use ropes to rappel into deep pits on the order of hundreds of feet in depth, and scuba to explore complicated underwater passages on the order of miles in length. We also have members who specialise in such things as cave biology, photography, archeology and cartograpphy. While some of our members are new to caving, others have been involved in it for well over 20 to 30 years. And while some spend most of their time doing day trips to local caves, others devote their time to traveling to remote areas around the world for weeks at a time, under the most extreme of conditions. Note: Meetings monthly the 4th Wednesday. Affiliated with UAYCEF (www.uaycef.com)</p>

100244482 2444702 <p>In Catalonia, where I'm from, we don't celebrate Valentine's Day we celebrate St.George as day for lovers.</p> <p>St. George happens on the 23rd of April and not only is the lover's day, it's actually the national book day in Spain too.</p> <p>St.george comes from a legend that started during the Mediaval age, the legend involves a princess, a white knight and a dragon so it's really geeky and kind of cool. You can read a lot on this wikipedia entrance <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_George's_Day" class="linkified">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_George's_Day</a></p> <p>For that day the guys give a red rose to their loved one and the girls give a book to the guy. I was talking to Caitlin about this and she though that it'll be nice to celebrate it. I'm hoping on April the day is beautiful and we could go book shopping and have lunch.</p> <p>Since all of us are girls i though maybe we could do some sort of secret santa but with a rose and a book.</p> <p>Get together at Union, choose a library: Strand Books for example, and go together to get the books! The idea is that everyone should a book (not expensive) to give to someone from the group, you can choose your favorite book or a classic and then get together to eat something and exchange knowledge! I'll bring the roses :)</p> <p>An offshoot of the NYC Geek Adventure group, this is a group for female geeks to... uhhhh.... Get their geek on with other female geeks. Are you a female geek who needs more female friends with similar interests? Do you find the prevalence of men looking down your shirt at other geek meetups disconcerting? Do you have ovaries and like Joss Whedon, WoW, Star Trek, Sci-Fi, fantasy, Adult Swim, video games, and the like? Then this is the meetup for you.</p>

100244642 993113 <p>Bring your guitar, accordion, drum, voice…whatever and join in an open music circle. We have a limited number of drums available. Absolutely no experience necessary. Beginners are especially welcome.</p> This is a chance for artists of all sorts in the West Suburbs of Chicago -- whether your medium is expressed visually, verbally, sonically, or some combination -- to cross-pollinate, gather ideas and energy, and find inspiration, consolation and encouragement. The hope is to gather regularly as a group, creating opportunities to organize smaller klatches, as well as opportunities to find like spirit and lasting artistic relationships. We may even be able to organize readings, performances and showings. Note the change: We were the Oak Park Writers, Artists & Musicians group -- We are now the West Suburban Writers, Artists & Musicians group.

10024515 487567 <p>We are limiting attendance for this event to current, active, group members. <b>If you haven't jumped before, this is not the event for you.</b> We'll set up our first Tandem-friendly event in May.</p> <p>Seasoned skydivers:</p> <p>Here we go! The big Kahuna is throwing a Luau! Free organizing, huge party, shenanigans and mayhem! It's one of the biggest weekends of the season - stay tuned for details!</p> This group is for anyone in or around NYC who wants to experience the pure thrill of skydiving. If you've never skydived before this is a great way to be introduced to the sport. Question for the more experienced skydiver: do you remember your first jump? Of course you do! I bet you are smiling right now just thinking about it! For you this is an opportunity to re-live the adrenaline rush and pure joy of your first skydive and a chance to visit drop zones near NYC. Want to see what I'm talking about? Check out one of our member's videos from last summer: http://skydiving.meetup.com/28/pages/Charming_Michael%27s_skydiving_video%21/ If you feel the need to fling yourself out of an airplane now and then, please join us!
100245192 2444702 <p>Before I left for Spain we met and saw both the first and the second film of the LOTR so I though we may want to watch the third one too!</p> <p>Also one of you ladies bought a 2l wine that we didn't use and it's still on my fridge and I believe it will be nice to drink it with all of you.</p> <p>I'm suggesting Sunday because is when we used to do it but I can do Friday and Saturday too that week.</p> <p>An offshoot of the NYC Geek Adventure group, this is a group for female geeks to... uhhhh.... Get their geek on with other female geeks. Are you a female geek who needs more female friends with similar interests? Do you find the prevalence of men looking down your shirt at other geek meetups disconcerting? Do you have ovaries and like Joss Whedon, WoW, Star Trek, Sci-Fi, fantasy, Adult Swim, video games, and the like? Then this is the meetup for you.</p>
100245302 2940172 <p>Trade chalky hearts for sexy smarts at a cheesy-on-purpose Valentine's celebration!</p> <p>Couple up with other brainy bachelors and bachelorettes over rounds of board games and themed activities.</p> <p>Speak the language of love during a magnetic poetry-inspired icebreaker.</p> <p>Invoke your inner romantic with Public Displays of Affection trivia featuring famous over the top sentimental gestures.</p> <p>Win geek variations on typical gifts with prizes like a chocolate Han Solo in carbonite, an 8-bit bouquet and a decoder ring.</p> <p>And, feel the chemistry with drink specials such as the Singleness Displacement, the Combustion Crush and the Hydrolysis of Love.</p> <p><b>Advance registration and online payment is required:</b> <a href="http://sixthannuallovefest-Jed.eventbrite.com/"><b>Register here!</b></a></p> <p>While we heart Meetup, we also publicize our events in the media and through our own mailing list, so RSVPs-- while much appreciated--- aren't reflective of total attendance.</p> <p>Got questions?

This landmark is an Art Deco paradise with sweeping lines and vivid colors all beautifully and painstakingly restored to its original glory! The grand lobby is a masterpiece in itself and is part of this workshop. The main theater and stage are also accessible for us to photograph. This private workshop will allow us special access to some areas not normally open to the public. Because we have gained permission to bring our tripods, standard images as well as HDR’s can be explored. The furnishings and décor all have classic Art Deco styling set in the breathtaking majesty that is Radio City Music Hall! The compositional design elements provide for endless photographic opportunities.</p> <p>The date for this workshop is Sunday, September 29th, 2013 from 8:15 am – 11:00 am and the cost is $75.00.</p> <p>Basic knowledge on the operation of your camera is highly recommended.</p> <p>Our workshop will begin promptly at 8:15 am. We will meet under the Radio City Music Hall Marquee located at: <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=radio+city+music+hall&amp;ll=40.759952,-73.977127&amp;spn=0.01323,0.025663&amp;fb=1&amp;gl=us&amp;hq=radio+city+music+hall&amp;hnear=radio+city+music+hall&amp;cid=0,0,10575831270349789845&amp;t=h&amp;z=16&amp;iwloc=A">1260 6th Avenue in New York City.</a> Side street parking is easily available early Sunday mornings and is free of charge.</p> <p>At that time we will quickly go over camera settings, etc. to make sure you are set up correctly prior to entering the theatre. We will break up into various groups, from beginners to advanced. Each group will have a leader to assist as well as a Radio City guide during the duration of the workshop. We will enter the theatre 8:45am and begin photographing.  Each group will have enough time allocated to each of the sections that will be available to our group.</p> <p>To view some of the images that you can capture at this Art Deco venue please visit the following blog post:</p> <p><a href="http://sdcphotography.com/blog/2012/02/09/the-most-historic-iconic-and-electrifying-stage-in-the-world-is-radio-city-music-hall/">The Most Historic, Iconic and Electrifying Stage In The World is...</a></p> <p><a href="http://sdcphotography.com/blog/2012/02/09/the-most-historic-iconic-and-electrifying-stage-in-the-world-is-radio-city-music-hall/">Radio City Music Hall ! ! !</a></p> <p><a href="http://sdcphotography.com/blog/2012/05/09/radio-city-music-hall-photo-workshop/">Radio City Music Hall Workshop</a></p> <p><a href="http://sdcphotography.com/blog/2012/09/16/radio-city-photo-workshop-2/">Radio City Music Hall Workshop #2</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.meetup.com/Susan-Candelario-SDC-Photography-Meetup-Group/photos/10835782/">Meet-Ups Participants Photo Gallery</a></p> <p> </p> <p>We hope you can join us for this special workshop!</p> <p>*If you should have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send me an <a href="http://sdcphotography.com/blog/contact/">email.</a></p> <p>The Susan Candelario SDC Photography Meet-up Group, is a group of professional photographers arranging and conducting photography workshops as well as computer digital post processing educational classes and events.</p> <p>Our mission is to promote private photography workshop events at interesting venues and locations. The majority of our events are held during hours when locations are not open to the general public and we are granted special permission to use our tripods.</p> <p>Aside from having the place exclusively to our group during the workshop time period, most of the locations allow us to move signs and barriers that are usually present during regular visiting hours, which make for pleasing and unobstructed photography.</p> <p>During the workshops, participants requiring instruction, are guided by one of our leaders which is always willing to teach and help.</p> <p><strong>We limit the number of participants in order to keep our groups small. This ensures that every participant will maximize their photo ops while making the shooting experience a pleasant one for all attending members.</strong></p> <p>We strive to educate and share our knowledge and to be able to assist and give as much attention to the participants as needed in order to not have them get lost in the crowd.</p> <p>Our aim is not only to have our participants walk away from an event with wonderful photographs, but also with an increase in knowledge of photographic skills that they may be able to put into practice in the future on their own.</p> <p>Many of our photography workshops will have a fee and it will be listed when the event is announced. Other meet-ups will be at no charge, held in a more casual environment offering members an opportunity to photograph together and share our passion for photography.</p> <p>Our group is free to join and is for photography enthusiast; of all ages and skill levels, from amateurs to professionals, beginners to experts sharing a passion for photography and post processing of digital photographs.</p> <p>If you are a beginner looking to improve your photographic or computer digital processing skills, or a seasoned photographer looking to photograph exciting and beautiful venues, or take your creativity to a new level, then this group is for you.</p> <p>We look forward to having you join our group.</p> <p>Please read our group policies by visiting our <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Susan-Candelario-SDC-Photography-Meetup-Group/about/">About</a> page.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

10025105 365014 <p>We're shaking things up a bit once again. G Que is an upscale pool hall with pretty good bar-style food and the music isn't so loud that we can't talk. The earlier you get there, the more street parking you'll find. Once the clubs on Lake Street get busy around 11pm, things get tougher.

10025145 1299276 <p>This is a FREE guided walking tour. Below is the description of the tour and the link of the sponsor.</p> <p>"New" Jersey City Walk. A new crystal city rises just outside the border of New York. Pieces of its glistening skyline can be seen from all over New York Bay and inland as deep as Flatbush. Mike Selender leads our walk on Jersey City's waterfront esplanade and will detour inland to look at development back from that walkway. Walkers will have the opportunity to leave the walk at a suburban shopping mall in the city or hop a trolley to scout out another piece of the ascending skyline of New Jersey. We will catch the 10:30 am Path Train from the World Trade Center station (lower level). Get there early to find the group. Take E train to World Trade Center. A, C, 2, 3, 4, 5 to Fulton Street.</p> <p><a href="http://www.walkny.org/Step3.html"><a href="http://www.walkny.org" class="linkified">http://www.walkny.org</a>...</a></p> <p>The path train fare is $1.75 per single ride.

Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!
10025196 397533 <p><b>NOTE: START TIME IS 3PM!!!</b></p> <p>Trying something new and we'll see how it goes:</p> <p><b>FOR THIS TEAM TOURNAMENT, NO PRE-DETERMINED PARNTERS. EVERYONE WILL DRAW A NUMBER OUT OF A HAT AND THAT WILL DETERMINE WHICH TEAM YOU ARE ON.</b></p> <p>Instead of the normal progressive euchre, we are going to have a team tournament. Allow me to explain. At the beginning of the night, you will be partnered up with someone for the entire tournament. (either someone who is there or if you already have someone you'd like to be partners with, that's great!) Each team will play one game against each other. (for 16 people, that's 8 teams, so that's 7 games). Each game will consist of two rounds worth of deals (each person deals twice, just like in the progressive nights). The team with the highest point total after 8 deals, wins that game. If there is a tie in points after 8 rounds, one more hand is dealt to determine the winner. The team that wins the most games, wins the tournament. In the event of a tie, the team with the highest point total will win.</p> <p>All of the same general rules of progressive style are in effect (i.e. No calling Ace-no-face (or Farmer's Hand); stick the dealer is in play). If there are any misdeals, the same person dealing the hand reshuffles the cards and deals again.</p> <p>Prizes? Why, yes, there will be a prize. The winning team will get to take home a whopping $45 each!!! (this prize is if all 20 people show up, the amount will go down if less than the 20 show up) While the losing team will each get their $5 entry fee back. If there is a tie for the losing team, the lowest point total will be the losing team and therefore get their entry fee back.</p> <p>You MUST stay for the entire tournament. It is unfair to all if someone leaves and is unable to complete all games.</p> <p>I do not schedule a break, but please try to keep breaks to a minimum. Most people like the game to have a continued flow to it. If there are too many breaks, it slows down the game. I want everyone to have fun at these events.</p> <p>When the tournament is over, everyone is welcome to stick around and play euchre all night long. Why not? It's a Saturday!!!</p> <p>We play Euchre at a different Chicago pub or restaurant for fun (with a little competitive streak). You will meet new people, visit different places, and improve your skill. Open to all players.&nbsp; No need to bring a partner - we will match you up.&nbsp; If you haven't played before, come to one of our Teach &amp; Learn classes.&nbsp; You'll get hooked!&nbsp; Join us!</p>

10025266 228614 (null) <p>We're a group of Boston Terriers and "their humans" that meet once a month at public dog runs around Manhattan (and at Animal Haven in Soho when it gets too cold out).</p> <p>It gives the dogs a chance to play with new friends and their humans a chance to share breed specific issues, meet other owners and even make a new friend or two.</p> <p>As many owners will agree, Boston Terriers are a very special breed. Perhaps we are biased, but we think they are the best! At our meetups, you will enjoy the fun of seeing dozens of funny, energetic and crazy Boston Terriers having a blast!</p> <p>See you there!</p>
10025289 804121 <p><i>Gene is your host!</i></p> <p>Weekly social ice dance session in the city at the World Ice Arena.</p> <p><b>Time:</b> 5:00pm - 6:20pm, every Sunday</p> <p><b>Cost:</b> $20</p> <p><b>Location:</b> <a href="http://www.worldice.com">World Ice Arena</a> (2nd-to-last stop on the 7 train) <a href="http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2658192">[walking map from 7 stop]</a></p> <p><b>Description:</b> For those of you who've never done a social ice dance session, it's different from a normal practice session in that a CD is played and everyone skates the same dance at the same time, and everyone dances with everyone. It's ridiculously fun. If you know any of the compulsory dances (or knew them once upon a time) you should come.</p> <p><b>Experience:</b> You'll find a huge range of experience levels at an ice dance session. At a bare minimum, you should feel comfortable on the ice and be able to do forward crossovers -- it's hard to think about dancing when you're worried about standing up. The more you know, the more fun you'll have, but as long as you're not scared and you're willing to try, you should be fine. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.</p> <p><b>Mailing List:</b> There's a new <a href="http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/icedanceNYC/">mailing list</a> just for announcements about future sessions (e.g., last minute cancellations).</p> <p>Hope to see lots of you there,<br/>Alex</p> <p>ps- I'm not the organizer of the session, I'm just a New Yorker desperate for some social ice dance and very excited about this :)</p> <p>pps- For more information on social ice dance, about.com has a <a href="http://figureskating.about.com/od/icedancingandpairs/f/socialdance.htm">good introduction</a> (which I mostly agree with).</p> <p><b>DRIVING DIRECTIONS</b><br/>The best way to get to the rink is to take the LIE to College Point Blvd exit, North on College Point Blvd to Avery St. (Western Beef is on the corner) one block West on Avery and park under the Van Wyck Expressway.</p> <p><i>What People are Saying!</i><br/><i>We had a blast! It's a beautiful new rink with a great sound system, nice folks, everything a social ice dance session should be. We had a wide range of ice dance experience all the way from none up to national competitors. Two of the women said they had never ice danced before but by the end of the night they were getting the hang of it pretty well and I think they had fun too. I hope ice dance NYC is here to stay. I know I'll go every chance I get.</i></p> <p><img src="http://www.elind.se/Images/header.jpg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px" /></p> <p>Join this group to participate in Ice Skating activities in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, New Jersey, Staten Island, Westchester, Long Island, and everywhere in between..</p> <p>We do not discriminate.

To insure everyone gets the most out of joining, I welcome all member suggestions for planning meetups.</p> <p>Sometimes I put "notes" on the calendar to inform members of ice skating related activities going on around town that they may want to attend outside of the group.

10025305 397533 <p>This tournament will use the progressive style format and rules, but, the top 3 scores for the night will be awarded. Everyone will put in $5 towards the prize pool. The prize breakdown will be as follows: 1st place 50% of the prize pool (if 20 people are in, that makes it $50), 2nd place 30% (or $30 if 20 people come), and 3rd is 20% (or $20 for 20 people).</p> <p>The night will consist of 9 rounds. That way, everyone should be at a table with everyone else at least once during the night. If you aren't familiar with the progressive style, the idea is you play 8 deals per round (each person at the table deals twice). Whatever points your team has at the end of the 8th deal, that's your score for that round. After the round is completed, you follow the schedule that is given to you at the beginning of the night and move on to the next table.</p> <p><b>FOR THIS PARTICULAR EVENT, CALLING ACE-NO-FACE IS LEGAL!!!! STICK THE DEALER IS STILL IN PLAY.</b> If ace-no-face is called (ace-no-face is when someone has a combination of 4 9s and 10s and one ace), the cards are reshuffled and dealt again by the same person who just dealt...since everyone has to deal twice.</p> <p>One final stipulation: If you come, you MUST stay until the end. Please do not leave early, as this disrupts the night and makes it hard on all involved.</p> <p>I'm open to any comments/suggestions to make the night a better one.</p> <p>Jason Wright<br/>[masked]<br/>[masked]</p> <p>P.S. I have some of the member's phone numbers, but not everyone. If you feel comfortable about it, could I get phone numbers for those who RSVP yes (or even if you RSVP no and I could use it for future events in case I'm in need of subs)? You can email them to me at the above address. If you put it in your RSVP comment, then everyone will be able to see it.</p> <p>We play Euchre at a different Chicago pub or restaurant for fun (with a little competitive streak). You will meet new people, visit different places, and improve your skill. Open to all players.&nbsp; No need to bring a partner - we will match you up.&nbsp; If you haven't played before, come to one of our Teach &amp; Learn classes.&nbsp; You'll get hooked!&nbsp; Join us!</p>

10025449 1026450 (null) <p>A writing group is a bit like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Its quality very much depends on how well it's taken care of. A good writing group gives inspiration, motivation, community, perspective, and of course, constructive criticism. Unfortunately, groups often get bogged down in squabbles and ennui. Bananafish is a series of writing groups around the idea that it's worth a few bucks ($50 per month in this case) to hire a writer/teacher to handle the logistics, moderate the meetings, and keep everything on an even keel. It's my job to stimulate inspired discussion and tease out helpful feedback while making sure that all voices are heard and no one gets beaten up. This group meets on alternate Monday evenings for two hours twice a month. In the spirit of healthy cross-pollination, all genres are welcome. You don't have to be a published writer to join, but this group isn't for absolute beginners. At the moment, new members are welcome. If you're interested, request to join our group and sit in on a meeting.</p>

10025458 1026450 (null) <p>A writing group is a bit like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Its quality very much depends on how well it's taken care of. A good writing group gives inspiration, motivation, community, perspective, and of course, constructive criticism. Unfortunately, groups often get bogged down in squabbles and ennui. Bananafish is a series of writing groups around the idea that it's worth a few bucks ($50 per month in this case) to hire a writer/teacher to handle the logistics, moderate the meetings, and keep everything on an even keel. It's my job to stimulate inspired discussion and tease out helpful feedback while making sure that all voices are heard and no one gets beaten up. This group meets on alternate Monday evenings for two hours twice a month. In the spirit of healthy cross-pollination, all genres are welcome. You don't have to be a published writer to join, but this group isn't for absolute beginners. At the moment, new members are welcome. If you're interested, request to join our group and sit in on a meeting.</p>
10025459 582365 <p>Due to some scheduling issues, we will be holding a Saturday game in addition to a Sunday game.</p> <p>We will meet at Busse Woods just East of 53/290 on Higgins Rd. Entrance is on the South side of Higgins Rd. - first entrance just east of 53/290. After you enter, stay to the left, you should see us on the left once you've entered the forest preserve.</p> <p>Beginners and "Pros" are welcome.</p> <p>Please bring a light and a dark shirt to distinguish teams.</p> <p>Hope to see you there!</p> <p>~ Chadd</p> <p><strong style="font-size : medium">11/2/14 - Fall Back to Standard Time</strong></p> <p>We only play on the weekends due to daylight hours. We are still at the Higgins Rd. entrance for now since there are more options for fields &amp; better wind breaks.</p> <p>We have recently adjusted Saturday's time to start at noon.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="font-size : medium">Current Schedule</span></span></strong></p> <p>Saturday Pickup: Noon - around 3:30 PM...ish</p> <p>Sunday Pickup: Noon - around 3:30 PM...ish</p> <p><span>About us -</span> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/about/">http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/about/</a></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="font-size : medium">Main Description</span></span></strong></p> <p><strong>First thing, don't speed in the forest preserve</strong>. We've had a few individuals get pulled over / ticketed for going like 25 (the limit is 15).</p> <p><strong>More people show up than the number that RSVP!</strong> We usually have at least two games of 5-on-5 going, and almost, almost always have at least 7-on-7. (Winter games are the exception. We still play, but numbers are often weaker.)</p> <p>We are a pick-up game. Not any sort of championship game. Don't worry about "letting your team down" or anything like that. This is a great way to get outside, get in a good amount of running, and to meet new friends. On Sundays we typically play a little more structured, but it's still the same sort of friendly atmosphere.</p> <p><strong>All ages and ability levels are welcome ~ <em><span style="text-decoration : underline">we really mean this.</span></em></strong> Our youngest player was 10 (now 11 or 12), our oldest 69. We have a group of people that play multiple times a week in leagues, and then we have new players come who we teach to play on the field. Some of us are in really good physical shape - others get winded after a few runs up the field. It is a great time and you will fit right in!</p> <p>The most important thing - this is a pickup game. Our skill levels vary quite a bit. Again, we have league/club/college players and we have completely new folks. If you want to be competitive, match up against someone else playing competitively. If you're a beginner, match up against the other beginners <strong>(And ask questions!)</strong>. We enjoy learning strategy, playing a good game, and getting in a workout - but we are mainly out here to play and <strong>have fun.</strong></p> <p>We distinguish teams by "light" colors (usually white) and "dark" colors (usually everything else). Try to bring a WHITE and a dark (NOT GREY) to each game, so we can make teams even. At the very least, <span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>please don't wear grey.</strong></span> It's neither light nor dark and is really good at confusing people in the heat of the game.</p> <p>The games basically run themselves. So when you come, <strong>just jump in.</strong> Everyone is really friendly. We were all new to the group once before.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration : underline">Extra links:</span></p> <p>Some general tips about playing the game -  <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/</a></p> <p>Unsure of what to do during the "off-season?"

We'll go for a traditional Irish breakfast served at Eileen's Country Kitchen, an authentic Irish restaurant in Yonkers, NY. We will depart from the West 72nd Street entrance to Central Park.</p> <p>This special, festive 20-ish mile round-trip ride is $16 online/$20 in person at the pre-ride huddle.This includes all tax and gratuities! Please bring exact change. Offerings include eggs, Irish bacon, Irish soda bread, real black and white pudding, home fries, toast, coffee/tea, and one of the nicest dining atmospheres in the state of New York.  *Only those who pay will receive a special wristband for the meal.*</p> <p><br/>We will be seated in a special area just for our Paddy O'Pedal crew instead of waiting in line like everyone else -- see, we take care of our riders!</p> <p><br/>The atmosphere in Yonkers on this day will be more than enough to make the ride worthy even without the breakfast, but it sure would be great to sit down to a tasty meal together!</p> <p><br/>For those who wish to make other arrangements for food, there are several bakeries and delis nearby. You can meet up with us afterward.</p> <p>**Bring on the Green! We will vote on the best Paddy O'Pedal costume! Prize for the winner! How could we forget this signature component of our fun festive rides?! May the best costumed rider/bike win!**</p> <p><br/>Please bring a friend or two to get the most out of this wonderful once-a-year ride!</p> <p>As usual, waiver, helmets and extra tubes are required.</p> <p>The purpose of this group is to get together and responsibly ride the streets of NYC and beyond! Riders with a sense of adventure and enjoyment out of getting around town on cycling wheels --with pit stops at fun snackeries -- are the best fit for this group. Helmets are mandatory. This is a free riding group from City Bike Coach.com.<br> (Please note that some of our festive holiday rides/events may have entry fees.)</p>

This group consists of people who proactively enrich their lives with knowledge, experiences, action, and just plain fun.  Learn more about us here:  http://vimeo.com/39087073</p> <p>Gainfully Unemployeds seek jobs, company, events and resources. In this group, we share ideas about resumes, interview tips, employment opportunities and free to low cost activities around the city. Since we all live productive lives there is no way we can spend the entire day sending out resumes. Best of all, if you are here, you are surrounded by people who are just like you; people who support you, applaud you, and just can't wait to meet you!</p> <p>One of this big goals of this group is to expose its members to options of things you can do with all that free time. That is to say, we might have an event which will be enjoyable in its own right but it is also a door being opened for you to do that again on your own. Whether it be a volunteer opportunity, a free movie or just a cool place in general to check we welcome your ideas. We require you to be contributor to the group and the best way to contribute is with ideas or more importantly with your presence. This group will be what you make it.</p> <p>So let's make it the best it can possibly be and contribute in the following ways: Forum comments: Some of you might have seen the new forums that have replaces the old message boards. We need all members to contribute Meet up Suggestions: If you have a cool place you want to check out or an idea for what to do please share it.</p> <p> </p>
100255722 249167 <p>If you went to the official Warren Miller film this year you got a free voucher for Windham, but we can't use again till March 10. I'm going - anyone else?</p> <p>Meet with local snowboarders in the lower New York and southwestern Connecticut area. Get together for snowboarding trips. Car pool to local resorts. Meet for socials. The NY-CT Snowboard group is an open group.

100260192 1579989 <p>Start: Meet at 10: 15, leave 10:30am.<br/>About 7 - 10 miles.</p> <p>Post hike at Irish Legends (just east up the road, on 171).<br/>Option to stay and watch the NFL playoffs.</p> <p>These are mountain biking trails, with lots of ups and downs.<br/>I did it last weekend and there was ice and frozen ground. The BLUE trail around the slough was especially jiggy, but fun.</p> <p>The Red Gate parking lot MAY be closed. If so, there is another lot 1/4 mile EAST, on the North side.</p> <p>The trails are well marked, but it's nice to have a map.</p> <p>[masked] (cell)<br/>[masked]</p> <p>We'll start with the ORANGE.<br/>Additional options are: 1) jump to the BLUE trail around the slough or 2) there are a few loops to make it longer hike.</p> <p>“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.” - Unknown</p> <p>“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” - Robert Frost</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Do you love Hiking and Adventures?</strong></p> <p>Welcome to the Chicago Hiking, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group. We strive for adventures, fun, and friendships. This group is for people who enjoy hiking, being outdoors and meeting new people. We feature hikes for all skill levels, canoeing, camping, biking, social gatherings and other outdoor activities. These events are a great way to get out, meet people, and smell some fresh air. If you have a suggestion, please feel free to contact the Organizer or post them on “ideas for meetup” on the calendar page. Most of the activities are pretty tame, but any participation in this group is at your own risk. If you want to meet fun and adventurous people, this group is for you. Come join us. It will be an adventure you won’t soon forget.</p> <p>Adventures are closer than you think!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Get Involved:</strong></p> <p>We need Assistant Organizers and Event Hosts! If you don't see your preferred activity listed or a hike on your side of town, please volunteer by contacting the Organizer! You might be surprised just how many people are looking to do the same activity that you are. Other ways to volunteer would be a Greeter (Greet new members as they join the group.) or Monthly News Letter Editor (Write articles for a Monthly News Letter to be published on the message board.). We welcome Event &amp; Group Sponsors who need some publicity for a great price!</p> <p>Why not become a Hike Leader?</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Monthly Photo Contest:</strong></p> <p>We are having a Monthly Photo Contest. You have 1 month to upload your favorite photo. At the end of the month, the Assist Organizers will pick the top 12. We will then have a poll for voting on these 12. The members will be able to rate each picture from 1 to 10 rating. The photo with the highest ratings at the end of this month will win. This photo will then be used as the open page picture for following month. The only thing you receive are bragging rights.</p> <p>Upload January Photos Here: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/</a><br> Please name the photo and leave a comment about the photo.</p> <p>So why not amaze the rest of the members with you photography skills?</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>100 Miles Club and 200 Miles Club:</strong></p> <p>Are you looking for a Goal to reach? We have two clubs for you. You join the 100 Miles Club when you reach 100 Miles hiking a year with this group only (Chicago Hiking, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group). You join the 200 Miles Club when you reach 200 Miles hiking a year with any Meetup Groups (Windy City Hikers, this group, etc.). Your Meetup Names will be posted in the About Section in this group.</p> <p>Let’s start counting those miles!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Dues and Fees:</strong></p> <p>There are no membership dues to be part of this group. For prepay events, we will sometimes add up to three dollars, normally 1 to 2, to the payment to help out with the Meetup.com monthly fees.</p> <p>For other events, example hikes, we suggest a 1 or 2 dollar donation at the start of the event. This is totally voluntary. No records will be kept for who donates and who doesn’t.</p> <p>If you want to make a voluntary donation. Go to the top of this page and click on "Pay Online". Enter the amount you would like to donate. Donate any amount you like. This will be paid with Paypal.</p> <p>We would personally prefer if people would donate their time as an Assistant Organizer or Hike Leader versus making a donation of money. Any help is very much appreciated.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p>Other Recommended Outdoors Meetup Groups: If events are full on this group, why not see what these groups are up to.</p> <p> </p> <p>The NW Burbs Camping Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/</a></p> <p>Southwest Suburbs Sports, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/</a></p> <p>Chicago Camping &amp; Outdoors Adventure Group</p> <p><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoCampers/">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoCampers/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Please support Outdoors Meetup Groups!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p>See you on the trail!</p> <p>Kevin</p> <p>PS: Tell a Friend about us!</p> <p>Come find us on Facebook:<br> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gid=251355911863#/group.php?v=info&amp;gid=251355911863" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi</a>...</p>

We carefully select locations to shoot and always have a theme for each shoot, so that you get a great editorial skills. We also go over various fashion editing techniques to help you improve the end product. Please note because of the quality and the cost involved in securing the right models, team, and locations, the rate for our meet up ranges from $125 - $200.

100262712 1334949 <p>Back to Tenement Talks to hear about a fellow that never lived on the LES, Abraham Lincoln!  Let's attend a talk about <i>Rise to Greatness: Abraham Lincoln and America's Most Perilous Year</i>.</p> <p>Here's the description from the website: <b>"David von Drehle</b> sets his sights on 1862, the crucial year that transformed our sixteenth president into a singular leader. <b>Sally Jenkins</b> leads the author in conversation about our nation's darkest hour and what we can learn from the man who led us through it."</p> <p>Von Drehle wrote the well-known <i>Triangle: The Fire that Changed America</i> that I've used with my classes, and in fact I have heard him discuss that book at Tenement Talks, too. Should be interesting to hear what he now has to say about Abe Lincoln!</p> <p><i>How to meet us</i>: Please meet us by 6pm for this 6:30pm event.  I'll be either in the seating area or on the line waiting to get in, holding my hand-scrawled MEETUP sign. 103 Orchard Street is at the corner of Orchard Street and Delancey Street.</p> <p>Admission: FREE, but these can be very crowded events. The website advises, "Guarantee a seat with the purchase of the evening's featured book by calling[masked] ext. 212." So, that's  your choice if you want to do that. Otherwise, seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning at 6:00 PM, and I will do my best to secure six chairs together.</p> <p>We do also have our own $1 fee to help defray the costs of maintaining this meetup group, payable to the organizer.</p> <p>Time permitting, maybe we can go get a quick bite afterward at a local place, but it's a school night for me, so I might not be able to do it.</p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><strong>Did you know it was native son Washington Irving who first dubbed New York City “Gotham”,</strong> a century before a certain superhero and his crime-ridden hometown were even thought of? Yes, Gotham is our city, our hometown, whether by birth or adoption! So let’s see the sites that make Gotham aka New York City so unique in the world. We go to exhibits and concerts at museums and unusual venues in the city, some famous, like the Metropolitan Museum, and others a little more off the beaten track, like the Merchant’s House Museum. Whether large or small, they’re all New York—come on along with us on the journey!</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><strong>Our event size is intentionally smaller for two reasons.</strong> First, it's so that all of us in attendance can interact and get to know each other. Second, lecture or film events at these venues usually have very limited seating, meaning I have to get there early and hold the number of seats we need, often against very aggressive people. That means we really need to have an accurate count for our rsvps, especially since our events almost always have a waiting list. <strong>If for whatever reason after you have rsvp'd yes, your plans change and you cannot attend, please change your rsvp as early as possible</strong> both so that those on the waiting list can get a seat at an event, and so I know when all attendees are assembled and can relax my stance against "aggressors". Also, <strong>because the total number of rsvps is so small, on most events there will not be an option to bring a guest. This is because some no-shows had "guests", which really cut into attendance.</strong> Tell your friends to sign up as members themselves if they want to come!</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><strong>Similar to most meetups, "Great Places in Gotham" has a modest $1 organizing fee per event,</strong> payable to me at the start of an event, to offset the subscription cost of maintaining the meetup. Please be sure to read our policy about "no-shows" in the About section, so that we can all enjoy these great places with a minimum of discomfort.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000">Please note: Because we've been kept waiting in lobbies, etc., for folks who didn't bother to change their rsvps, <strong>Great Places in Gotham has a "no-show" policy,</strong> retroactive to February 22, 2009, where any member who incurs ONE no-show with no explanatory emails to me will be permanently removed from our membership rolls and not be allowed to rsvp for any more of our events. After all, would you keep a "friend" who stood you up and never apologized?</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><strong>Like what you see about "Great Places in Gotham"?</strong> Then consider joining our sister group,</span> <span style="color : #000000">Friendly Native New Yorker Walking Tours! </span> (  <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Friendly-Native-New-Yorker-Walking-Tours/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/Friendly-Native...</a> ) </p> <p><br> <br> </p>

10027678 463260 <p><b>Get out your Hawaiian Shirts, Your Grass Skirts and anything else Tropical!!! </b></p> <p>THIS PARTY IS FOR EVERYONE!! OFF THE CHARTS FUN!!!</p> <p> Stan and Catherine met for the very first time at one of OUR Friends First Events!! See!!! It does happen!! It can happen to you!</p> <p>Engagement Party Lua in April? Why not?? Who writes the rules anyway?? It sounds like a TON of fun!!!</p> <p>What a theme for an engagement party!! Not your stuffy petit fours and bridal shower games!! Just a really, really FUN party to celebrate two WONDERFUL people finding each other is this Big Old World!!!</p> <p>Say that you don't know Stan and Catherine? Never met them?? Not a problem! Just come on out and help them cheer the night away with food, dancing and many, many toasts for a happy life together!</p> <p>Here are the stats:</p> <p>Our very own "Tommy Tunes" (Tom Harrold) will be DJ'ing this party as a gift to Stan and Catherine! Stan and Catherine have met up with Tom to help him select all the great dance music for this party! Guaranteed we are going to dance out butts off all night!</p> <p>I, Fena, am making their Engagement Cakes as a gift to Stan and Catherine. I used to make professional wedding cakes and I will be making their cakes for this event!</p> <p>YOUR PART:</p> <p>1) Show up with a major party attitude on. Have on something TROPICAL...just no jeans! Guys...tan or black khakis or black slacks....remember this IS an engagement party!! Grass skirts and coconuts permitted! LOL</p> <p>2) Bring a substantial food dish to share. This is sort of a pot luck! Because we are not charging anything for this event, we are expecting people to be responsible for bringing the food! So....when you think of a dish to bring, think of something that is going to stick to the ribs.</p> <p>Suggestions: Swedish Meat Balls, Wings, Tuna Salad Sandwiches, Turkey Sandwiches, Baked Beans, Pot. Salad, Macaroni Salad, Mini Beef Sandwiches,Sushi, Deviled Eggs, Nachos, Mini Hot Dogs, Chili, BBQ Anything, Sloppy Joes and a few desserts. A few veggie and fruit trays will be okay but not too many. Some chips and dips are okay but make sure with me before you bring them. Due to the liquor laws by the state, the Conservatory must offer enough substantial food when alcohol is being offered. So we have to make sure that the food is not just chips and dips.</p> <p>Some fruit and veggie platters are acceptable but we don't want to end up with chips and cheese trays. Stan also told me that because of the liquor laws that when they are serving alcohol, there has to be substantial food offered. Please RSVP Fena with what you are bringing. I need to know at least by next Thursday, March 27th. I will be posting the list on our Friends First Message Board.</p> <p>3) An engagement card to wish them well. I am taking $5 donations towards an Visa Gift Card for them to use on their honeymoon! So if you would like to, just drop $5 into the gift bucket and we will add your name to the list of people giving the gift card!</p> <p>4) CASH BAR provided by the Conservatory.</p> <p>So friends....it doesn't matter if you know Stan and Catherine! All that matters is that we all get together to wish them a VERY happy life together!</p> <p>Come on out and join us!!!

However, as New Year's Eve falls on a Wednesday this year, we have decided to stick with our usual Tuesday schedule but extend the meditation. As usual, please be sure to arrive by 6 pm as we will not let anyone into the building between 6 – 7 pm while the meditation is in progress. Healing clinic will be offered from 7 pm.</p> <p><strong>Tu 6:30 – 7 pm Guided Meditation (Free) at CRS</strong></p> <p>Please join us in the sharing of miracles! Here, your mind can come to rest and you can remember true peace. No experience with meditation is required, and everyone is welcome.</p> <p>Please arrive for Meditation before 6:30 pm as we don't let people in once the meditation is in progress.</p> <p>We at CRS are dedicated teachers and students of <em>A Course in Miracles</em> (ACIM) who are waiting to share miracles with you through our ACIM Healing. We ask the Holy Spirit to bring us directly to whatever seed thought is causing your current issues and we share forgiveness and bear witness to the miracles that are happening in your life. Each week I will share with you a different inspirational message from Holy Spirit: a creative visualization exercise, or instruction about the nature and purpose of meditation, our true nature, and our relationship to ourselves, to one another, and to the world.</p> <p>Also, please feel free to stay afterward for our <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ACIM-healing/">Spiritual Healing Clinic</a> from 7 – 7:50 pm or try our more in-depth <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ACIM-class/">Meditating with A Course in Miracles</a> class on Monday nights from 8 – 9:30 pm.</p> <p><strong>About Me</strong></p> <p>I have been teaching <em>A Course in Miracles</em> and offering spiritual counseling and healing since 1999. I have approximately 1,000 students and clients. In 2004, I opened CRS, the first and only spiritual center in New York City devoted to the study and practice of ACIM. I am the author of 21 books published by major publishers in Japan. <a href="http://www.crsny.org/drupal/yasuko/about" target="_blank">Read more...</a></p> <p>You can listen to a sampling of my recent guided meditations here: <br> <a href="http://www.crsny.org/drupal/recordings/guided-meditations" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.crsny.org/drupal/recordings/guided-meditations" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.crsny.org/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.crsny.org/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.crsny.org/" target="_blank">http://www.crsny.org/</a>...</p> <p>Namaste,</p> <p>Yasuko Kasaki<br> Founder<br> CRS (Center for Remembering &amp; Sharing)</p> <p><strong>Location:</strong><br> <a href="http://www.crsny.org">CRS (Center for Remembering &amp; Sharing)</a><br> 123 4th Ave, 2nd FL<br> <span>(between 12th &amp; 13th streets, above Think Coffee) <br> </span><span>New York, NY 10003 <br> </span><span>212-677-8621 <br> </span><a href="http://www.crsny.org">http://www.crsny.org</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

10027918 622378 <p><a href="http://www.crsny.org/drupal/en/events/healing-clinic">A Course in Miracles Healing Clinic at CRS</a></p> <p><span><em>"Since only the mind can be sick, only the mind can be healed. Only the mind is in need of healing."</em><br> —"PSYCHOTHERAPY: Purpose, Process and Practice," Supplements to <em>A Course in Miracles</em></span></p> <p>Hello, all miracle workers &amp; seekers! We are dedicated teachers and students of A <em>Course in Miracles</em> (ACIM) who are waiting to share miracles with you through our ACIM-based Healing. We ask the Holy Spirit to bring us directly to whatever seed thought is causing your current issues and we share forgiveness and bear witness to the miracles that are happening in all areas of your life. Bring any issue you are facing right now — physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or whatever — or just bring your shining spirit, and receive a short session of energy work.</p> <p>You will experience healing by the Holy Spirit through our healers' hands. Together, we create a Holy Triangle, consisting of the Holy Spirit and two brothers (you and a healer), to be the witnesses of miracles together. Together, we can help each other to accept God’s love! After your healing we might whisper to you a brief message that we receive from the Holy Spirit about what is going on in your energy field. Otherwise, we don't talk or discuss ACIM during this meetup event. We share healing quietly instead and provide you with an opportunity to come to rest, reflect, and remember who you truly are, in a supportive, non-judgmental, meditative environment.</p> <p>So, rather than offering your advice, we'd like to offer you an opportunity to experience stillness of mind and peace so that you can return to harmony with your true nature and purpose. Then you will find that rather than needing "solutions" to "problems" you will realize that you have no problems except those that you project. We call this spiritual healing but it is not religious nor connected with any church or group. It is simply a practice of meditating together on our true nature and connecting with universal spirit/energy or what you will.</p> <p><strong>Schedule:</strong></p> <p>Mondays from 7 – 7:50 pm<br> Tuesdays from 7 – 7:50 pm<br> Thursdays from 11 – 11:50 am <br> Suggested donation $20. No one is turned away.</p> <p><strong>Location:</strong></p> <p>CRS (Center for Remembering &amp; Sharing) <br> 123 4th Ave, 2nd FL (between 12th &amp; 13th Streets) <br> Manhattan <br> <a href="http://www.crsny.org" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.crsny.org" target="_blank">http://www.crsny.org</a><br> 212-677-8621</p> <p><strong>A Note About the Role of Words in Healing:</strong></p> <p>"Strictly speaking, words play no part at all in healing. The motivating factor is prayer, or asking. What you ask for you receive. But this refers to the prayer of the heart, not to the words you use in praying. Sometimes the words and the prayer are contradictory; sometimes they agree. It does not matter. God does not understand words, for they were made by separated minds to keep them in the illusion of separation. Words can be helpful, particularly for the beginner, in helping concentration and facilitating the exclusion, or at least the control, of extraneous thoughts. Let us not forget, however, that words are but symbols of symbols. They are thus twice removed from reality...." — <em>A Course in Miracles</em> Manual for Teachers, Section 21</p>

It's expensive and difficult to keep a car here. This makes it hard for a pilot to enjoy his/her passion. Mass transit to the local airports is an arduous undertaking. So, if you're a pilot or aviation enthusiast in the New York City area that doesnt have the ways and means to actually fly anymore, this may be the social group you have been looking for. If you are looking for a more active flying group, I welcome you to visit our "sister" meetup group called: The Northeast Pilots Group. They are flying non-stop! (http://aviation.meetup.com/77/) Otherwise...we invite you to come join the largest and fastest growing "hanger flying" Aviation Meetup around. Airline transport, commercial, private, sport, student, and aspiring pilots are all welcome, as is anyone with a love of flying. Our spouses, family, and friends may not always understand us, but with New York City Pilots you'll always have someone who shares your passion for flight.

I had been to this place twice before and really enjoyed the food, but my boyfriend and I were blown away last night after realizing this place is run by the most efficient kitchen ever!</p> <p>The food here is great - especially knowing there is ONE chef doing everything from prep to clean-up in the kitchen. In between whipping up gourmet masterpieces with immaculate presentation, he even sent my boyfriend and I the most velvety, buttery soft smoked salmon with wasabi infused creme fraiche - on the house!</p> <p>The house bread here is also amazing. The bread is served in thick slices of semi-dark, wonderfully textured, carb-ilicious delight. It's served on wood planks with slabs of European butter and piles of coarse sea salt for a very home-made, organic presentation. Between this complimentary staple and the salmon, we ended up eating a second dinner... With beautiful wine pairings to wash it all down.<br/>The bartender here is also great - the waitress was sweet - it's a neighborhood gem."</p> <p>website/menu: <a href="http://www.knife-fork-nyc.com/menu.html"><a href="http://www.knife-fork" class="linkified">http://www.knife-fork</a>...</a></p> <p>Please be courteous to others and arrive on time.

Here is your chance to play in a quality league, with referees, standings table, etc - but only have to pay each week, just like you do for our normal pickup or tournaments. However, if at any point you would like to commit to the team and not RSVP via meetup anymore, we will reduce the fee by the amount you have already paid via meetup. We will then reduce the amount of available spots each week by one.</p> <p><b>This league is for intermediate to advanced players. It is not suited to beginner players.</b></p> <p>There are only 11 spots available each night on this team. We'd like to see regular faces show up each week, but if new faces come in too - great! Here is some more info:</p> <p>There is a one time fee at your first game of $20 for your Illinois State Soccer Association player card. It is good for a whole 12 months and across all of our leagues. Shin guards are mandatory. Prescription glasses may not be worn. Please bring a white and a black t-shirt to every game. This is a league, not a pickup game. Please treat the referees, your team, the opposition, and our staff with courtesy and respect at all times. Game halves are 25 minutes.

Scoot over, David Chang. Formerly the home of Manhattan's only female sushi chef, Taka, this establishment changed hands with new Management and came back with a vengeance. I was skeptical of anything ever living up to Taka, but this was a worthy replacement. Albeit different in styles, Hakata Ton Ton delivers in its execution of downright 'homey' Japanese food. I wouldn't classify this as Kaiseke cuisine per se, but if you love pork and don't care about calories, this is the place for you. When my friend and owner of La Sirene Didier emailed me his review of this place, I could not help but bookmark it as a MUST TRY for pork heaven. How did it fare? Well it definitely lived up to my expectations and then some, from their gelatinous pig's foot to miso sauce chicken wings. Everything else takes a back seat to the food here, which is the way it should be. Not to say the decor sucks, but don't expect a posh interior with exquisite wall hangings or huge sculptures. Despite turning on our charm, they still wouldn't sell me their Tshirt though. 18% gratuity on parties of 6 and larger. GO. NOW!</p> <p>-Ozeki "Hana-Awaka" Saké ($7/ea x 4) [250ml] - sweet and floral, tasted like sparkling cider, a Hello Kittyesque drink, the girls wanted this, I obliged</p> <p>TONTON TASTING MENU ($38/6 courses, min 2ppl or more)<br/>-Hakata Salad [syabu syabu pork, mesclun, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, fried garlic, kuko litchi tonton] - thinly sliced pork, fried garlic was a nice touch here<br/>-Atlantic Salmon Carpaccio [with black tobiko and konbu seaweed, lemon dressing] - 8pcs for 2ppl, masterfully prepared, surprisingly tasty, loved the EVOO w/ lemon infusion<br/>-House Special Grilled Pork Tonsoku [with scallions and spicy yuzu paste, ponzu sauce] - aka pied de cochon, or pig's foot, was heavenly, grilled and lightly seasoned, served dry with crispy skin, unveiling a gooey mass of white melty gelatinous cartilage underneath, all that collagen and NO FAT provides for elasticity and wrinkle free baby smooth skin, CRACKTACULAR!<br/>-Tebasaki Chicken Wings [with sesame, sweet and spicy miso sauce] - tasted like a peanut sauce, you get 6, so awesome<br/>-Hakata Motsu Hot Pot [special broth, berkshire pork Motsu, cabbage, chinese chive, gyoza skin, garlic and chili pepper] - quite spicy, don't quite get the point of 2 round gyoza skins thrown in, but good play on textures here<br/>-Dessert Plate [cheese mousse &amp; black sesame ice cream] - nothing short of homemade goodness, lots of love in this, blueberry drizzle over the cheese mousse, black sesame ice cream was a huge scoop, heavy goma flavor, very impressed, excellent way to cap off the meal"</p> <p>article here: <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/brooklyn/2008/04/07/2008-04-07_japanese_chef_at_hakata_tonton_cooks_up_.html"><a href="http://www.nydailynew" class="linkified">http://www.nydailynew</a>...</a></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/2dudqp.jpg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px"></p> <p><span style="color : #00bf60 ; text-decoration : underline">I8 FOOD BLOG:</span> This is were me and my authors/editors drop our wisdom with reviews, eatymology, recipes, etc!<br> Our new food blog is up! <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com" target="_blank">http://www.i8nyc.com</a></p> <p><span style="color : #ff0000 ; text-decoration : underline">TWITTER @ I8AND8:</span> Every Deal will be posted there.

Sebastian Jaramillo is an amazing chef and comes up with some truly creative ideas. This is one of those places where every course handed to you just literally melts in your mouth and you think can't possibly be outdone but just keeps getting better and better as your meal progresses. The vanilla soufle is probably the most sinful and luscious dessert that has ever touched my lips. If you're traveling to NYC... definitely don't miss this place.

100285472 2489332 <p><img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/6/8/0/event_175894432.jpeg" /></p> <p>We've been to Another Country bookstore before, back in November - for their Friday night dinner event they do every week - and we had a good time. What an interesting place! If you haven't been you really owe it to yourself to go at least once while you're here.</p> <p>Normally I would not look to use a location twice so soon, but a member of our group reached out to recommend their "Tuesday Night Quiz Night" - she's been before and had a great time so thinks we should all give it a shot.</p> <p>You've done a "Quiz Night" in a bar/pub before of course and know what they're all about? I hope so, because I haven't and I have to make this all up. But I hear they're hysterical as the questions are not of the "What year was George Washington elected?" variety but rather things like "In which film did Demi Moore first take her clothes off?" or something like that. I really don't know.</p> <p>But it doesn't matter! Another Country is a great place for you to see as along with books they also sell cheap and cheerful wine for 5 euros a bottle at these events. You're sure to meet and chat with some interesting people and have more than a few laughs.</p> <p>The quiz itself starts at 8pm so let's try to get there a bit earlier to find each other. It costs 1.50 per person and there are 8 rounds of questions. Categories include: Current Affairs, Literature, Film &amp; TV, History, Music, a mystery round and a rapid-fire buzzer round. Each team is asked to bring something that makes a noise - anybody have some kind of noise maker?</p> <p>So let's Meetup and form a team and try to kick some ex-pat butt!</p> <p><span style="font-size : small">Berlin has so much to offer and so many new people are moving here all the time. This group is for people who want to get out and explore this city and make some new friends along the way.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small">We mostly speak English but there are people with all kinds of language backgrounds naturally. I'm from NYC, the cultural melting pot of the world so everyone is welcome!</span></p> <p>L<span style="font-size : small">et's meet new people while enjoying cultural and musical events, or participating in social activities in and around Berlin. We'll</span> <span style="font-size : small">check out some of the great live music events, festivals, theater and dance performances, shows, concerts, workshops, exhibitions, and nightlife that this city presents!</span></p> <p><span>Get together with people from all over the world, party together, and make new friends.

100289232 1440707 <p>Pain, both physical and emotional is exacerbated by the layers of reactions that effectively bind the pain in place. To unravel the ‘bindings’ one needs to separate out these layers – which like the ingredients in soup become obscured in the maelstrom of reaction. Fears, conditioned beliefs, aversions, desires, perceived limitations and a lack of a strong self identity conspire to obfuscate the picture. We feel bound by the layers of unseen reaction.</p> <p>In this free lecture, Samantha Keen will unfold an approach that uses ‘sourcing’ to create clarity in this confused picture. Sourcing is a process whereby one sees through the various layers to reach the source or underlying root cause of the issue.</p> <p>Samantha will talk about the meditation-based Inner Space Techniques (IST) that helps people see and unravel the real source of an issue, including emotional and physical pain. She will explain Inner Space Techniques and a model of subtle bodies, both developed by Samuel Sagan M.D. PhD and the Clairvision School of meditation.</p> <p>Speaker's bio<br/>Having used these techniques to recover from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Samantha has a special insights into working with pain, vitality issues, including chronic fatigue and burnout.</p> <p>Samantha Keen is an instructor of the Clairvison School of meditation and co-founder of NY-based wellness group Vital Switch LLC. She sees clients for one-one-one sessions in New York, and up and down the East Coast of the USA, and in Canada. She has worked with thousands of people in one-on-one sessions and in workshops, across the globe. Samantha has worked with one-on-one clients, given talks, and facilitated workshops in Australia, Singapore, the Philippines, England, Germany, Spain, America and Canada.</p> <p>Having based her business and he life New York City, USA, for five years, Samantha is now passionately engaged in helping her clients break through limitations and lead extraordinary and fulfilling lives. She works with people on improving their relationships, creativity, entreupreneurship, sexuality, spiritual connection and health, using meditation-based techniques.</p> <p>Vital Switch presents meditation skills for modern people, a grounded and practical approach designed for people who live busy lives. Meditation is about being more. It gives you strength and centeredness to go beyond your limits. Beyond relaxation, this style of meditation raises the voltage of consciousness. Develop inner stillness and sharper awareness. Learn how not to get rocked by the waves around you. A key principle is see for yourself, know for yourself. The techniques lead to a development of vision that cuts through appearances and perceives the reality of the world and yourself. The meditation techniques that we use at Vital Switch are all from the techniques of the Clairvision School of meditation. The techniques are based on the principles of the third eye meditation in the book "Awakening The Third Eye" by Dr. Samuel Sagan - founder of the Clairvision School. This Meetup group is run by the New York-based wellness group, Vital Switch. Vital Switch offers a whole system of meditation which includes skills for stress relief and vitality management. The technique presented in the New York Meditation meetup will be one which helps to boost mental clarity and get you in touch with your life force. This is not based on any religion or dogma, rather it is a whole system of meditation skills that is developed for modern people who want to transform themselves. Ideal for anyone interested in learning a regular meditation practice. It is also good for those interested in awareness techniques they can apply at work or at home while going about their daily activities. The Vital Switch system will deliver stress relief, relief from burnout, help with chronic fatigue syndrome, improve mental clarity and alertness. It also offers tools for focusing at will, and methods to gain better sleep quality. The New York Meditation Meetup is designed to give people an introduction to meditation techniques that are designed for modern people with busy lives.</p>

10029070 1325945 <p><b>Old New York Bars Meetup: German Yorkville - Baseball, Breweries, Bologna and Beer – Sat. April 4, 2009 @ 10AM</b></p> <p>Please join us for a historic Meetup of old German Yorkville, located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.<br/>Originally a small village between New York City (Downtown) and Harlem for upper-class Germans, Yorkville stretches from 79th Street in the South to 96th Street in the North and from Third Avenue to the East River.</p> <p>Yorkville was one of the centers of German culture in Manhattan. Germans and German-Americans contributed greatly to New York City and the Upper East Side of Manhattan culturally, socially and economically.</p> <p>Our Meetup will start at the old site of the Ruppert and Ehret Breweries on the southwest corner of 2nd Avenue and 91st Street.</p> <p><a href="http://www.communityheritagemaps.com/manhattan1909/original/33_nyc_1909_3_or.html">Old Brewery Map</a></p> <p><a href="http://mobius.mysticseaport.org/browser.php?m=objects&amp;kv=281721&amp;i=114494">Old Brewery Photo</a></p> <p>Colonel Jacob Ruppert was one of the original owners of the New York Yankees and was responsible for bringing Babe Ruth to the team. At the time, his breweries were some of the largest employers of the area and was the beer that was sold at Yankee Stadium.</p> <p>We will then travel over to 1st Avenue to <a href="http://glasersbakeshop.com/">Glaser’s Bake Shop</a> , where we will speak with the owner about the bakery (est. 1902) and it’s colorful Yorkville history.</p> <p><a href="http://NY Time<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/19/nyregion/19german.html?_r=2&amp;scp=4&amp;sq=yorkville%20manhattan&amp;st=cse" class="linkified">http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/19/nyregion/19german.html?_r=2&amp;scp=4&amp;sq=yorkville%20manhattan&amp;st=cse</a>">NY Times Article - In The Heart of Yorkville</a></p> <p>We will then walk South down to 1st Avenue and head West down, “German Broadway” or East 86th Street and on to <a href="http://www.schallerweber.com/nycstore.html">Schaller &amp; Weber</a>, a German butcher and Delicatessen established in 1937. This is one of the best German butcher's and delicatessens in the country.</p> <p><a href="http://www.themarthablog.com/2008/10/a-visit-to-schaller-weber-a-real-treasure.html">Martha Stewart on Schaller &amp; Weber</a></p> <p>Finally we will conclude our walk at the <a href="http://www.heidelbergrestaurant.com/">Heidelberg Restaurant</a> located on 2nd Avenue between 85th and 86th Streets. The restaurant, established in 1936, is one of the last of the old German Restaurants in Yorkville and has wonderful German beer and food.</p> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/25/dining/25-and-under-german-fortification-at-an-outpost-in-yorkville.html?scp=42&amp;sq=yorkville&amp;st=cse">Eric Asimov's NY Times Heidelberg Restaurant Article</a></p> <p>A fee of $ 20 will be charged for this Meetup using our payment system. This is to cover the cost of food samples, our book raffle and a German beer. The new payment system is a secure payment system sponsored by Amazon and Meetup, in order to RSVP for this Meetup, you will need to pay in advance to attend.</p> <p>The Meetup should last 1 ½ hours and conclude at the <a href="http://www.heidelbergrestaurant.com/">Heidelberg Restaurant</a> at approximately 11:30 AM. This should be both fun and informative and great for a Saturday morning in the spring, when baseball season is about to start. I hope to see you there.</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Bobby Soxx</p> <p>Welcome to Old New York Bars - Where History and Socializing Converge Are you interested in meeting others who like drinking in old bars, pubs, saloons and taverns?

10029358 727520 (null) <p>This Meetup group is for the purpose of directing NYC poker players to action throughout the city.</p>
10029451 1375652 <p>This is a workshop for everyone who attended the last psychic development meetup as well as people who have done some form of psychic development and know how to use their gifts of vision, feeling, hearing and knowing.</p> <p>From 2-6pm, on Saturday, I will be giving a workshop to turn you into a medium. You will learn to discern Spirit, contact your guides and give a reading by providing evidence and proof of after life.</p> <p>Unless you already are a medium, you will need this workshop to sit in a mediumship development circle that I facilitate in NJ and will be facilitating in NYC in the near future. This is a golden opportunity, please make the most of it.</p> <p>If you are planning on attending, please bring photographs of people you know who have passed on as well as a fresh flower in a brown paper bag that has an identifying mark on it - something that you will recognize as yours. Do not put your name on the bag.</p> <p>The cost is $15 for 4 hours and New Yorkers can take the 192 bus from Port Authority to the center, or drive there - the center is 10 minutes from the Lincoln Tunnel.</p> <p><span style="color : #ff9900 ; font-size : medium"><strong>Psychic and Mediumship Development Circle</strong></span></p> <p>The NYC Metaphysical Group has been teaching and holding development circles for many years in conjunction with Meetup. In this circle you will learn about and access your intuitive self. Both psychic development and mediumship are covered. They both use the same channels of communication.</p> <p>This group was founded to be a resource to learn about your intuitive self. Also covered is mediumship or connecting to the spirit world, and learning how the spirit world communicates with us as an individual. The style of mediumship is evidential. You will learn to give identifying information of the spirit in question. Sitting in circle helps strengthen your rapport with spirit. Psychic and mediumship work is very much experiential and individual instruction is given to assist you with your readings and development. Traditional development is done in a circle.</p> <p>You will become a detective to discover what your particular intuitive nature is. You will learn to distinguish and communicate the intuitive messages that you receive. Beyond just practice, the circle fosters a deep understanding of the intuitive process. This is a psychic gym, if you will, a place of safety to discover and practice your psychic skills so that a sense of confidence develops through continued practice.</p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size : medium"><strong>About NYC Metaphysical Group</strong></span></p> <p>This is a traditional metaphysical group of spiritualists and healers. We concentrate on traditional modalities such as psychic and mediumship development, the field of mediumship and healing. The organizers of this group are mediums, lightworkers and interfaithministers and teachers.<br> “Our vision was to create a spiritual watering hole by offering a safe and tranquil environment to assist you in furthering your own spiritual development. Aside from the various spiritual and healing offerings that we bring to the table to share with you, we believe in surrounding ourselves with talented and gifted individuals who in turn will raise everyone’s vibration and optimize your experience with the center.” Lee Van Zyl &amp; Lee Ann LaRocca (psychic mediums)<br> The NYC Metaphysical Group is a place of universal spiritualism, a center of learning and development, an environment of healing and a vibrational space for you to discover and develop what might resonate with you in a positive light. Our goal is to offer you an authentic experience without the superficial trimmings.<br> We welcome You, the seeker, in finding your path and allowing us to accompany you on this part of your journey to enlightenment</p>

We anticipate collaborating as a group and determining what tracks (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, for example) that best match our needs.</p> <p>Example Beginner track is for someone with little to no experience with OpenStack. You can be just interested in expanding your devOps horizons or someone that just wants to learn more about this cloud thing.</p> <p>Example: Intermediate track is for a experienced devOps, some python experience, and an understanding of OpenStack core. Some advanced OpenStack devOps will join the hackathon from time to time. Example:</p> <p>Advanced track is for seasoned OpenStack devOps to discuss blueprints and code. Each Advanced devOps meetup will focus on a different OpenStack core project.</p> <p>Updates will be published via the meetup email list, OpenStack community blog, and twitter via TBD</p>
100295952 1580008 <p>Let's meetup and do some ice skating.</p> <p>Aside from being fun, ice skating is a good workout and a nice practice for anyone who enjoys winter sports, especially skiers - the balance/movements you go through on skis and ice skates are very similar.<br/>If you are a beginner skier or you plan to learn skiing this season, you'll have one more reason to join us for some ice skating...I'll give you some basic tips and help you get going on the ice.</p> <p>Citi Pond at Bryant Park is Manhattan's first and only free admission ice skating rink. Back for its seventh season, Citi Pond is one of NYC's most treasured winter destinations.</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/f/6/0/event_178748032.jpeg" /></p> <p> <b>Schedule:</b><br/>The plan is to meet at 9AM inside the rink facility by the lockers.<br/>(Entrance to the facility is from the 40th street, middle of the block)<br/>This is where we will change and put ice skates on before proceeding to the ice.<br/><b>Bring a lock</b> - lockers are free, but if you do not have one you'll have to either buy it at the counter ($7) or check in your bag (and pay a $7 or $10 fee).<br/>I realize 9AM is a bit early, but until we figure out who can skate on what level it's for the best.<br/>From the experience, the major concern and source of insecurity for the people learning how to ice skate are the kids zooming past them from all direction while on the ice...<br/>Early on Sunday morning, there is only a few people skating, so we get more space to practice and enjoy, and less kids to worry about.<br/>Once everyone in the group is comfortable with skating in a more crowded rink we can change the meetup time and maybe even a day of the week - we could do some after work skate metups on Wednesdays or Thursdays evenings...</p> <p><b>Cost:</b><br/>Access to the ice skating rink is free, and so is the use of lockers (you need to bring your lock!).<br/>However, the ice-skates rental is not free.<br/>If you have a pair of ice skates, then you won't pay a dime; but if you do not have your own ice-skates, and can't borrow them from a friend/relative, you'll have to rent them at the facility for $14 for a skating period (you can stay as long as you want 8AM-10PM).<br/>If you plan on ice skating more than 2 times this season, I suggest you to purchase a pair of ice skates; there are some incredibly cheap skates out there - girls can pick up a pair for as low as $30...<br/>Just make sure they fit you OK (thigh but not blistering tight), get the cheapest pair, and disregard all selling points salesman will try to put out there...</p> <p> <b>Transportation:</b><br/>Getting to the Bryant park is easy.<br/>Take subway line B,D,F or M to the 42nd Street - Bryan park stop...<br/>or 7 line to the 5th Ave stop...<br/>or N, R, Q, 1, 2 or 3 line to the Times Square - 42nd Street stop and walk one Ave block east.<br/>The entrance to the ice skating rink is from the south side of the park - 40th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues.</p> <p><b>What to wear:</b><br/>What usually works best for me is a base layer top (thin, body tight, moisture wick shirt) with a warm sweater on the top, a scarf, a warm hat, and a pair of gloves; everything else stays in the locker - it could be a bit cold at first, but as soon as you start skating you'll start rolling your sleeves up; Again, this is what works for me - you may want to adjust the amount/type of clothing to best fit your needs.<br/>Cell phones are not permitted on the ice - if you need to make a call/send text, you have to step off the ice.</p> <p><b>Checking in:</b><br/>When you enter the facility you will be directed to the counter where they will ask you if you have your own skates or if you need to rent a pair, ask you to sign a waiver and give you a bracelet.<br/>After you get the bracelet, you can proceed to the lockers area.<br/>There are some snacks/drinks sold at the facility but the prices are as they usually are in places like this...</p> <p><strong>If you are looking for some adventure and variety in your life, want to challenge yourself, conquer your fears or just try things you've never done before... then you've come to the right place!</strong> This group is for people in New Yory City that like to stay fit, be active and have fun at the same time. Events range from hiking, camping, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, ziplining, obstacle course mud runs, downhill skiing, cross country skiing, skydiving, hang gliding, mountain biking, trail running and every other outdoor activity I can think of. I also didn't forget I'm born and raised in NYC, so we'll also have urban and social activities planned for the group too. This includes running, parkour, urban exploring, dodgeball, flag football and a wide variety of other activities.<br> <br> <strong>Going on trips with like-minded friends is always more fun, and you'll find them here. You'll find we are a friendly, outgoing and quirky bunch who like to challenge ourselves and have a good time while doing it.</strong> Group sizes tend to be smaller here compared to other meetups, but you get to know people better as a result. Its easier to talk to people in a smaller group, the comraderie, conversation and the jokes are just better! lol<br> <br> <strong>We do our best to keep our calendar busy with random and fun trips. <a href="http://www.nychoagies.com/#calendar">Click Here to check out our Events Calendar</a></strong>. These would include all day outings, weekend road trips, vacations and other cross posted events with other meetup groups. There is no required membership cost and the annual $10 fee is completely voluntary. Any contribution is used to help plan and organize trips, maintain and spruce up the website. Any cost for an event is clearly stated in the description and would also include sharing the cost of gas and tolls for transportation.

Please bear in mind, while "free" is easy, "cheap" is relative.<br> <br> Try to keep things inexpensive- if it's an item where there's a discount, a 50% discount is really sweet, but not if the cost is still something like $30. And don't just dump every little promotion you can think of here; that could go crazy. Use your good judgment, and let's find some terrific events to go to.</p>

With imports of oil cut by more than half – and food by 80 percent – people were desperate. This film tells of the hardships and struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people during this difficult time. Cubans share how they transitioned from a highly mechanized, industrial agricultural system to one using organic methods of farming and local, urban gardens. It is an unusual look into the Cuban culture during this economic crisis, which they call "The Special Period." The film opens with a short history of Peak Oil, a term for the time in our history when world oil production will reach its all-time peak and begin to decline forever. Cuba, the only country that has faced such a crisis – the massive reduction of fossil fuels – is an example of options and hope.</p> <p>The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil is a project of the Arthur Morgan Institute for Community Solutions, a non-profit organization that designs and teaches low-energy solutions to the current unsustainable, fossil fuel based, industrialized, and centralized way of living.</p> <p>www.powerofcommunity.org</p> <p>Do you want to reduce your consumer impact on earth, humans and animals? Are you concerned about the wastefulness of our consumer society? Learn how to find useable goods in the refuse of our throw-away culture, to identify wild edibles, to repair and rebuild bikes, clothing and more.

100298872 1470198 <p><a href="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/f/3/0/event_196580272.jpegSay" class="linkified">http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/f/3/0/event_196580272.jpegSay</a> you're an expert in psychology with heavy philosophical leanings, and you find yourself getting interested in the theories of Husserl and Heidegger. Like, <i>really</i> interested. To the point where you begin to see the scientific results of the psychology and biology of your day as actually <i>confirming</i> the rich descriptions and the highly textured world of the dudes from Freiburg, against the sorts of (dualist, physicalist, behavioralist...) metaphysical assumptions tending to undergird those scientific investigations themselves.</p> <p>Let's say you're also working in France, just after the war. Most of what your colleagues know about Husserl and (particularly) Heidegger, they know through Sartre's recently published and hugely famous <i>Being and Nothingness</i> - which, while interesting, is not a particularly canonical presentation of Husserl's phenomenological project. You want to develop your own work in the field, but how to provide a context for it? How to introduce and sum up half a century's worth of a philosophical tradition for your countrymen, in such a way as to make it not only philosophically interesting but scientifically relevant?</p> <p>And that's how the world got the "Preface" to Merleau-Ponty's <i>Phenomenology of Perception</i>. The PoP as a whole is now considered a classic of 20th century philosophy, and (through Dreyfus and others) has been hugely influential in recent philosophy of mind and related areas. But the "Preface" is a masterpiece all its own. Maybe it's not quite as infamous as the prefaces to be found in Kant or Hegel, but really: go around looking for an introduction to this crazy movement called "phenomenology," and you're still not likely to find better than what Merleau-Ponty penned nearly 70 years ago. And for a 15-20 page chunk of text, that's pretty remarkable.</p> <p>So! Now that there's a new and improved translation of the PoP out as of last year, let's get together and get ourselves stuck into this little wonder.

100299862 5981122 <p>Hey guys,<br/>I am still fairly new to the city and have never been to a meet up group before but I figured its a new year so maybe it's time to get out and meet new people and have some fun. I wanted to see if anyone wanted to have a girls night there where we can get to know each other through dinner and drinks and then head out somewhere else.</p> <p>Okay guys, so here is the deal a lot of my favorite places including Hub51 are booked so I just went ahead and made reservations at mercer 113. now, I have heard mixed reviews about this place but it looks pretty trendy from the inside so hopefully it's worth a try. The great thing about this place is it is within walking distance to a lot of cool bars and restaurants including hub51, curio, epic, moe's, John barleycorn, the bull and bear, and the pump room, so there is plenty to do after dinner!</p> <p>The reservation is at 7:00 under gal pals of Chicago. alternatively, you can also try my first name. I reserved two tables of 6 this way it might be a little easier for people to get to know one another better. (If 13 end up showing, I'm sure the restaurant can adjust.) If anyone needs to cancel, no worries just let me know on this post by Saturday at 11:00 so I can inform the restaurant.</p> <p>Welcome Everybody, I love the city and its beauty.  If you have just landed in Chicago and want to explore the beautiful city join us.   This group's focus is primarily on nightlife and concerts.  We will be clubbing at Chicago's Hottest Nightclubs.  Are you creative, stylish, Do you like Shopping, wine in the park events, do you like cocktail nights at Lounges, bar and restaurants, beaches, outdoors (Permitted by weather), Bar trivia, fireworks at Navy Pier, daytime events, dancing, Nightlife, and the best things city has to offer <span>then this is your group.  I want this to be a very eventful group, so suggest as many events as you like.  I look forward to meeting everybody.</span></p> <p><span>Cheers Everybody!</span></p>
10030042 91120 <p>At our next theory study group we will be using an excerpt from Ken Wilber's Kosmos Trilogy to explore his theory of subtle energies. According to the introduction, "this excerpt suggests a coherent and comprehensive theory of the many approaches to subtle energies, their origin, nature, and development."</p> <p>Many of the ancient wisdom traditions describe a "great chain of being" that goes something like <b>matter</b>, <b>body</b>, <b>mind</b>, <b>soul</b>, and <b>spirit</b>, with each of those levels transcending and including the prior level. Common to many of these traditions is the idea that, in addition to a spectrum of consciousness, there is a spectrum of energy. One such spectrum runs from <b>gross</b> physical energy, to <b>etheric</b> energy, to <b>astral</b> energy, to <b>psychic</b> energy, to <b>causal</b> energy. In a general sense these 5 levels of energy are essentially correlated with the 5 levels of consciousness (but) these energies are not the same as consciousness; consciousness cannot be reduced to these energies; nor can these energies be reduced to consciousness. Rather, these levels of energy accompany and support their correlative levels of consciousness (so that a gross energy is the support of gross consciousness, a subtle energy is the support of subtle consciousness, a causal energy is the support of causal consciousness, and so on).</p> <p>Using the insights of modernism and science, as well as postmodernism, Wilber states that the higher levels in the great chain of being are not actually metaphysical realities, as premodern sages claimed, but are instead intra-physical realities, "they are not above matter, nor beyond nature, nor meta-physical, nor super-natural: they are not above nature but within nature, not beyond matter but interior to it." But with higher levels of development comes greater complexity of form and one of Wilber's original insights and a unique contribution to the subject is that the more complex the form, the subtler the energy associated with it.</p> <p>Join us as we explore the implications of these insights into the realm of subtle energies.</p> <p>Facilitators: Steve Nadel &amp; Amy Bobo</p> <p><i>Recommended Reading:</i></p> <p>(correction)</p> <p>Recommended Reading:<br/>Excerpt G: Toward A Comprehensive Theory of Subtle Energies</p> <p>Please note:<br/>Our focus will be on Parts II and III of Excerpt G:</p> <p>Part II.

However, if at any point you would like to commit to the team and not RSVP via meetup anymore, we will reduce the fee by the amount you have already paid via meetup. We will then reduce the amount of available spots each week by one.</p> <p><b>This league is for intermediate to advanced players. It is not suited to beginner players.</b></p> <p>There are only 11 spots available each night on this team. We'd like to see regular faces show up each week, but if new faces come in too - great! Here is some more info:</p> <p>There is a one time fee at your first game of $20 for your Illinois State Soccer Association player card. It is good for a whole 12 months and across all of our leagues. Shin guards are mandatory. Prescription glasses may not be worn. Please bring a white and a black t-shirt to every game. This is a league, not a pickup game. Please treat the referees, your team, the opposition, and our staff with courtesy and respect at all times. Game halves are 25 minutes.

With imports of oil cut by more than half – and food by 80 percent – people were desperate. This film tells of the hardships and struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people during this difficult time. Cubans share how they transitioned from a highly mechanized, industrial agricultural system to one using organic methods of farming and local, urban gardens. It is an unusual look into the Cuban culture during this economic crisis, which they call "The Special Period." The film opens with a short history of Peak Oil, a term for the time in our history when world oil production will reach its all-time peak and begin to decline forever. Cuba, the only country that has faced such a crisis – the massive reduction of fossil fuels – is an example of options and hope.</p> <p>The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil is a project of the Arthur Morgan Institute for Community Solutions, a non-profit organization that designs and teaches low-energy solutions to the current unsustainable, fossil fuel based, industrialized, and centralized way of living.</p> <p><a href="http://www.powerofcommunity.org">www.powerofcommunity.org</a></p> <p>Do you love movies and then discussing them afterward?

10030173 1325336 <p>Join the New York Corporate Social Responsibility community for the April CSR Social. Come to voice your opinion, network and socialize!</p> <p>The main topic of April CSR Social event is <b>Corporate Sustainability: Progress and Challenges</b>. Companies become increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability for their business models. They develop different approaches, learn their lessons, adjust and continuously innovate in the attempt to achieve a triple bottom line. How do you think they are doing? Is there real progress? Are the challenges too hard to overcome? Is the transformation happening fast enough? What is the role of companies vs. the role of governments? Corporate sustainability is a process in making. Nobody has THE RIGHT answer today. Each of us can contribute to this process with an idea, opinion, project, event, campaign or policy.</p> <p>Some resources on this set of issues:</p> <p>1. <a href="http://www.corporateandresponsible.com/2009/03/climate-change-new-regulation-business.html">Summary of 2009 Sustainability Summit in New York</a></p> <p>2. <a href="http://www.mallenbaker.net/csr/page.php?Story_ID=2432">Procter and Gamble - How Far Does the Sustainable Product Revolution Go?</a></p> <p>3. <a href="http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es8016655">MIT research on how sustainable manufacturing is</a></p> <p>Are you interested in <span style="color : #0000FF">corporate social responsibility (CSR)</span>, <span style="color : #008000">sustainability</span>, and <span style="color : #FF0000">ethical business</span>?

From March 29th to May 15th, Congregation Beth Ahm will host an exhibit mounted by the Jewish Historical Society of MetroWest: “Weequahic Memoirs: Celebrating Newark's Legendary Neighborhood”. The exhibit features 44 panels containing hundreds of photographs that tell the story of Weequahic from the 1930s through the 1960s. There are showcases of artifacts and memorabilia, a Great Map of Weequahic, a vintage clothing gallery, and a video documentary that transports the viewer back to this legendary neighborhood made famous by Pulitzer Prize winning author, Phillip Roth. It's great MetroWest history. Admission is free. A public reception marking the opening of the exhibit will take place on Sunday, March 29th from 2:00-5:00 pm. The exhibit’s stay at Congregation Beth Ahm was made possible through the underwriting of Kurt and Anny Landsberger.</p> We have a name for ourselves: “The Little Shul With A Big Heart” and we mean it. A deep sense of community is at the spiritual center of our synagogue, a sense of searching together for truth and a commitment to tikkun alom, working as a unified group to “repair the world”. Congregation Beth Ahm is a place where new ideas blend with old traditions, creating a harmony of contemporary Jewish observance and celebration. Beth Ahm differs from many other synagogues in its small size, lack of pretension and an overall feeling of warmth and commitment. These factors, combined with our dedicated and dynamic Rabbi, and our superbly talented Cantor make Congregation Beth Ahm a unique and special place. We also have a wonderful Children's Jewish Learning Center where a low student-teacher ratio means that each child gets the attention he or she deserves. By the time of their Bar/Mat Mitzvah, a student has been grounded in Jewish traditions and can feel comfortable in any synagogue in the world.
100303272 1327312 <p>NYC Public library has story time for infants-18 months at 2:00pm. It starts right at 2 and they are pretty strict about not letting people in after it starts. The story time is about 1/2 hour but then I thought we could head to St. Catherine's Park right across the street to burn some energy. We'll be at the library rain or shine.</p> <p>Meet other New York City Stay At Home Dads, Part-time at home dads, work from home dads, freelance dads, working dads, and <strong>involved fathers</strong> in and around NYC to socialize and interact with other guys who enjoy spending quality time with their kids during the day.</p> <p>Our primary goal is to form an inclusive &amp; active community of involved dads during the week while the rest of the world is working, so we can take advantage of what the city has to offer without the crowds &amp; within a tight budget. This still enables us to have ample time in the evenings and weekends for our family bonding.</p> <p>Organized meet up events are offered several times per week at a local park/playground, museum, playgym, children's venue, parent &amp; me class, zoo, restaurant, or someone's playroom/lounge in their building.</p> <p>There are not enough resources, support groups, or services for dads in NYC. This group is the pioneer in achieving more for dads in NYC and the surrounding NY Metro area including Jersey City, and lower Westchester!</p> <p>Additionally, check out our BLOG SITE to read about PLAYGROUP EXPERIENCES, RELEVANT NEWS, News articles, EVENTS, RESEARCH, WORK-LIFE BALANCE &amp; MORE from a diverse group of dad voices: <a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/"></a><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/" target="_blank">http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/</a></p> <p>Join us on Facebook:  <span>http://www.facebook.com/NYCDadsGroup</span></p> <p><span>Join us on Twitter:</span> http://twitter.com/#!/NYCDadsGroup</p> <p>Expectant father?

Aimed at rapid, inexpensive prototyping of user experiences, SketchFlow (part of the upcoming Expression Studio 3 release) will allow designers and developers to quickly mock up screens and workflows, and to exchange feedback and notes between designers, developers and customers. In this session, Lab49 will demonstrate how, by starting with low-fidelity mockups and alternating between exploration of new ideas and convergence to more refined designs, we were able to develop a totally innovative new user experience. Next, we will show how using SketchFlow and Microsoft Expression Blend 3 will bring a whole new level of sophistication and ease to the process of designing new user experiences.</p> <p><b><i>Bio</i></b><br/>Ronald Lintag is a consultant at Lab49 specialized on designing and building cutting-edge user experiences with WPF, Silverlight, and Microsoft Surface. Prior to joining Lab49 last year, he spent over 6 years working as a software design engineer at Microsoft building products such as the Microsoft Business Portal SDK and Visual Studio Team System.</p> <p><strong>XAML</strong> is a powerful user interface markup language that allows the creation and instant prototyping of Windows 8 and Windows Phone apps, as well as Silverlight and WPF applications.</p> <p>The two major tools for creating XAML, Microsoft Expression Blend and Microsoft Visual Studio, allows designers and developers to quickly create and design interactive UIs that can be tested and used on their devices, offering a superior UI design and development solution that is unavailable on any other operating systems.</p> <p>NYC XAML Meetup is a meetup group for designers, developers, and enthusiasts of Microsoft's XAML technology in the New York City Tri-State area.  We are here to educate, discuss and share the joys of using XAML.</p>

Being more present in each moment in time.</p> <p>This is not a sensual massage site. And it is not a dating or a bonding site. We ask that you use other meetup groups for those purposes. We reserve the right to remove members from the group who we believe are acting inappropriately or not staying w/in the parameters of the group.</p> <p> </p> <p>This group is dedicated to having ongoing conversations for all topics related to the mind-body connection.</p> <p>There are two major conversations about the Mind Body Connection:</p> <p>1)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind-body_intervention Mind–body interventions is the name of a U.S. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) classification that covers a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind's capacity to affect bodily function and symptoms. Many of these techniques are best described as alternative medicine, including meditation, prayer, mental healing, movement re-education, and therapies that use creative outlets such as art, music, or dance. Others have now become mainstream (for example, patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy).</p> <p>2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind-body_connection The biopsychosocial model (abbreviated "BPS") is a general model or approach that posits that biological, psychological (which entails thoughts, emotions, and behaviors), and social factors, all play a significant role in human functioning in the context of disease or illness. Indeed, health is best understood in terms of a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors rather than purely in biological terms.[1] This is in contrast to the traditional, reductionist biomedical model of medicine that suggests every disease process can be explained in terms of an underlying deviation from normal function such as a pathogen, genetic or developmental abnormality, or injury.[2] The concept is used in fields such as medicine, nursing, health psychology and sociology, and particularly in more specialist fields such as psychiatry, health psychology, family therapy, chiropractic, clinical social work, and clinical psychology. The biopsychosocial paradigm is also a technical term for the popular concept of the "mind–body connection", which addresses more philosophical arguments between the biopsychosocial and biomedical models, rather than their empirical exploration and clinical application.[3] The model was theorized by psychiatrist George L. Engel at the University of Rochester, and putatively discussed in a 1977 article in Science,[2] where he posited "the need for a new medical model"; however no single definitive, irreducible model has been published.[4] However, the general BPS model has guided formulation and testing of models within each professional field. Interestingly, evidence for the application of the biopsychosocial model was found in ancient Asian (2600 B.C.) and Greek (500 B.C.) civilizations prior to Engel's introduction of the theory in 1977. The novelty, acceptance, and prevalence of the biopsychosocial model varies across cultures.[1] Theodore Millon has extensively researched the Biopsychosocial model and has developed a systematic approach to understanding the clinical presentations found in many treatment settings.</p>

100307622 5092732 <p>Third time's the charm. Bring cords and picks. Maybe even a first aid kit. An electric or two might help. If you wanna play heavy, a stompbox will come in handy too (or at least a nine-volt battery. I have a couple of pedals lying around). There will be booze. There will be volume. There will be rock!!!! Everyone who's been here knows where it is by now. See ya there!</p> <p>Let's get together and stay motivated! This group is for anyone who has just started playing guitar or who has been playing for a while but needs to stay motivated. You may feel a little stuck and need to get over that hump where guitar playing becomes fun. We can play and share what we are learning and hopefully make some strides together. This will be great during those times when you can't always pay a lot of money for a lesson from a guitar teacher.</p> <p>This group is also open to budding and experienced singers, drummers, bass players, etc. who want to practice in a band-like setting.</p>

10031169 1187853 <p>Would like to skate but don't know how? Haven't skated in a while and need a refresher? Always wanted to know how to T stop, skate backwards or do crossovers? Here's your chance! Tom Grosspietsch, long time Chicago skater and certified instructor was so nice to offer this. Thanks Tom!!!!<br/>Here is in Tom's words:</p> <p><i>What do we teach? Oh the basics, standing, starting, stopping, to balance, gliding, proper push, "the fall" or skating with body weight and gravity, recovery, turns, crossovers, transitions (frontwards to backwards and backwards to frontwards) and backwards if people want...

10031774 446022 <p>Presented by Dawn Henning, <a href="http://swimmablenyc.info/?p=54">Storm Water Infrastructure Matters</a>.</p> <p>On rainy days, New York City’s sewer system combines everything that is flushed from your apartment with the rainwater that drains from the street. Often the total volume of this combination exceeds the capacity of the city’s waste treatment facilities to process it in its entirety. As a result, the system shoots significant quantities of untreated sewage into the local waterways through hundreds of points called combined sewer overflows, or CSOs. The phenomenon, which occurs regularly throughout the year, negatively impacts the water quality of our harbor, compromises ecosystems, and limits healthy human use of the estuary.</p> <p>Decreasing the quantity of stormwater that reaches street drains would reduce the incidence of sewage outflows on rainy days. One way to do that is by Increasing the number of street trees in the five boroughs. Unlike impervious surfaces like asphalt and concrete that shuttle water into the sewer system, trees create an absorptive buffer that retains water.</p> <p>In this talk S.W.I.M. coalition member Dawn Henning will explain how street trees can help mitigate our most chronic water quality problems, and discuss planning strategies that the city is or should be pursuing to maximize this potential.</p> <p>Meet other local environmentalists and concerned citizens to discuss environmental issues both on a global and local level. www.meetup.com/nycenvironment</p> <p>The Metro NYC Environmental Meetup only promotes and participates in environmental and sustainability related volunteer, educational, activist, and social activities.</p> <p>Group Events <br />*OFFICIAL group events will be highlighted in GREEN on the Calendar and you'll be able to RSVP for them.</p> <p>Calendar <br />*Events on the calendar in YELLOW are posted for your REFERENCE only.

10031780 209762 <p>So I managed to get 10 seats on busy Friday night @ Torys. If you are not familiar with Yakitori (Grilled chicken), this is the definition:</p> <p>Skewers of succulent chicken dipped in barbecue sauce, grilled to perfection over hot charcoals, then washed down with cold beer -- it's easy to see the appeal of yakitori after a hard day's work. Not surprisingly, yakitori-ya (yakitori restaurants and stands) are popular early-evening gathering places, filled with office workers stopping off for a quick snack before the train ride home.</p> <p>Torys is one of the famous and awesome yakitori joint in Manhattan, and not only great for Yakitori but they also have variety of Izakaya menus too. (Well actually Yakitori is a part of Izakaya category).</p> <p>Not like happy hour meetup, I need to get an accurate count on people this time. So here is 2 things I would like you to agree to attend this event.<br/>- Wednesday night I will email you to confirm for the attendance. When you do, please write confirm next to your RSVP to ensure your attendance.<br/>- Please do not be late.</p> <p>See you guys there!</p> <p>Since I only have 10 spot, I am posting in this meetup group only this time.</p> Hello Everyone: Welcome to Japan Club, Japanese Sake & Language Enthusiasts! Let's learn Basic Japanese language, get together, mingle and most importantly "have fun"! If you are thinking of visiting Japan for sightseeing, career in Japan, or just want to learn Japanese language, but can not progress well by yourself, this is the place to start.

Please note the fee is $10 per person. For Intermediate Level Course please join http://www.meetup.com/Konnichiwa/ Restaurant/Bar meetup: We would like to explore many restaurants/bars preferably the one to make our members to feel like being in Japan. .

10031936 976696 <p>The slow Jam is every second and fourth monday of the month. Hope you can make it.</p> <p>The location of Paddy's is the corner of 2nd Avenue and 29th Street in Manhattan.</p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">This meetup caters to an advanced beginner/intermediate level player. <strong><span style="color : #ff0000">The jam happens every SECOND and FOURTH MONDAY of the MONTH -- even when I forget to post it on the site</span></strong>. As the jam has evolved, I have hired a rotating group of leaders who lead the jam from 7:30-9:30. This means that I must charge a $5.00 fee, so we can pay a leader. Each leader will choose 25-30 of their favorite bluegrass/old time songs. Click on the "Pages" tab at the top of the page for a description of our leaders and their songs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">Having a leader does not mean that jam participants cannot lead songs. But it does mean that there will be a few set guidelines. For example, people can only lead songs if 1) they know the song fully (including the words) 2) they are able to give out breaks effectively. This is a skill, and one that anyone can learn.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">Finally, I want to let peole know that the jam is not a structured "class". Rather, it is a forum where leaders will be available to guide us along, ensure that there is a constant stream of jam-enhancing songs, and facilitate an amazing experience that is geared to an advanced beginner/intermediate level of player. Generally, after 9:30 or 10:00 an unstructured jam takes place, with higher level players. ALL are welcome to that too!&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size : medium"><br> </span></p>

As in previous AKTINA concerts, videos will be shown on a very large screen.</p> <p>Popular to this day, “The Songs Of Greek Cinema” comprise a very important and representative aspect of the Greek music repertoire. The songs of Greek Cinema have also contributed in introducing some of the finest composers, songwriters, musicians and singers of Greece while over the years, they were also an inspiration for the new generations in the Greek music industry. Many of these songs along with their creators and singers are also credited for spreading Greek music beyond the boundaries of Greece as they were part of several award winning English-speaking Greek movies seen and becoming popular worldwide.</p> <p>With an impressive career in live performances and discography spanning over 10 years, Melina Aslanidou is one of the most representative popular-folk and rembetika singers of the new generation of “quality” singers in Greece.

Also, you will get separate checks, but remember to tip, please.</p> <p>Suggested donation $2.</p> <p>Please join us and RSVP here, below.</p> <p>Grazie!</p> <p>Lisa L</p> <p> </p><p>&nbsp;<span style="font-size : x-small">I may just be the ideal person to represent the Italian culture because I am Italian-American raised in the smells and cultures of Italy in NYC and hope to bring my personal experiences to the group to keep it going strong.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size : x-small"><br /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : x-small">My parents are 100% Italian while I was born in NYC as a first generation Italian-American Paone. Growing up, I spend many Summers in Italy and recall them to be the best Summer's of my childhood. Spending the Summer months in Italy was a special time allowing me to experience Italian culture not only at home but first-hand in the homeland. I am excited to share my experiences with you. Come to an event and I&rsquo;ll tell you my stories over nice red wine or two.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size : x-small"><br /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : x-small">My fianc&eacute; and I started and manage a wine group on Long Island, we organize wine tasting parties and plan to do the same in New York City with this group. What better way to learn about a culture than to taste their wine and food? I am a guy I who thinks with his stomach. I also run a sports group NYMutliSport.com that is where I met Helen my fianc&eacute;e.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size : x-small"><br /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : x-small">I am planning to doing events with a venue where we will provide a several varieties of wine paired with food tastings. No this is not going to be a typical wine tasting where you sit down at a dinner while someone goes on and on about the wine you&rsquo;re drinking and how it works with the food you&rsquo;re eating. I enjoy those types of events but I find them to be a little tedious at times. What I&rsquo;m hoping accomplish is to have events where there will be stations with food and wine with a knowledgeable person serving you a sample of both. You&rsquo;ll be free to walk around and mingle. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size : x-small">If you have an ideas for the group or if you wish to help out organizing parties let me know.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size : small">We're looking forward to meeting you all.</span></p>

10033060 895666 <p>Book signing with author Michael Schaffer</p> <p>April 18, 2009<br/>2:00 pm<br/>Happy Paws<br/>LaFayette Street</p> <p>His story about Ada Nieves, a 40-ish woman on Manhattan's Lower East Side, reveals the tremendous growth of the pet madness. From organizing small events for Chihuahua owners several years ago, Nieves has emerged as an energetic planner of elaborate pet parties and has appeared on Martha Stewart's TV show. "I bought her a dog because I was going to Iraq," says her incredulous Army-sergeant husband. "I came back to this." While $1,500 puppy showers may attract only the rich and childless, millions of ordinary Americans are also caught up in pet mania. It's a search for community at a time when many lead isolated lives, suggests Schaffer.</p> <p>Doggone entertaining.</p> This site has gone to the dog! All things dog! We'll chat about places to go, things to sniff, what's bark worthy and what's not. Our favorite doggy designers, our favorite doggy venues, our favorite local doggy charities. AND, we'll keep you up-to-date with all of the doggy events in the NYC area. If it's dog related, we'll cover it! Let's have fun with fido!

Real whole food is delicious and good for you, and it should be fun to prepare and eat with friends and family. Learn about what "real food" is and why it is so important for our health.</p> <p>We are focused on helping people eat fresh whole foods on a local and sustainable scale as much as possible.

We welcome those faced with time and financial constraints and those who have come up with creative solutions for eliminating barriers to eating a healthy diet.</p> <p>We hold regular informational meetings and hands-on food preparation workshops. Also, we sometimes hold film-screenings or have guest speakers on the topics of real foods, sustainable agriculture, seasonal and local eating, food politics, and nutrition.

10033396 229690 <p>Join me and a few others for a showing of <i>Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind</i><br/>Anyone is welcome to attend... but please note the bit about lack of censorship. (Go read the FAQ list linked below for more information regarding this.)</p> <p><i>Too Much Light...</i> is an attempt to perform 30 plays in 60 minutes.<br/><b>A few things to keep in mind:</b><br/>~It has the energy of improv.<br/>~They come out into the audience... and you may be involved in a play in some way.<br/>~It can get loud in there and sometimes it may be quite dark or quite bright.<br/>~It may be a little bit crowded.<br/>~The Neo-Futurists operate entirely without censorship.<br/>~They take only cash.<br/>But all that said... It is LOT of fun. I do have sensory issues (mostly with bright lights and some loud sounds) and for me, going to this play is not an issue. Also, it is not like everyone in the audience gets "pulled up on stage" or whatnot... only a few each time. As for crowding, the issue is mostly in the lobby (after Doors Open, before the play starts) and during that time, you are not required to be in the lobby. You can go elsewhere (even out of the theater if you wish.)</p> <p><b>Cost:</b> $9+ whatever you roll on the die. (So... $10-$15, depending on luck) CASH ONLY</p> <p><b>Time:</b><br/>6:30pm Doors Open. (I suggest getting there at or before 6:30)<br/>7:00pm Show Starts.<br/>Should run until about 8:15pm or so</p> <p><b>More Information About the Show:</b><br/><a href="http://www.neofuturists.org"><a href="http://www.neofuturis" class="linkified">http://www.neofuturis</a>...</a><br/>And for their list of FAQs: <a href="http://www.neofuturists.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=49&amp;Itemid=70"><a href="http://www.neofuturis" class="linkified">http://www.neofuturis</a>...</a></p> <p><b>Parking and Transportation:</b> There is street parking near there. It usually isn't too bad to find a spot. You can take the train/buses.</p> <p><b>Where To Meet Up:</b> We'll meet up in line outside the venue. (If you get there after Doors Open, come inside and meet up in the lobby.)<br/>We're going to meet there at 6:00-6:15. This will assure that we make it into the play... and give us a better chance of being able to sit next to each other.<br/>While waiting in line (for about 15-30 minute), we can do lateral thinking puzzles if people are interested.</p> <p>Look for me or the others who have RSVP'ed. If you don't know me or the others, make sure to contact me beforehand, so we can figure out a way for you to know when you've found the right group!</p> <p>Welcome to CASPAN, the Chicago Autism SPectrum Adult (and Teen) Network! Meet with local teens, young adults and adults affected by Asperger's, autism, PDD-NOS, and related autistic spectrum and pervasive developmental issues. Both formally and self-diagnosed people attend regularly. We have several different groups around the Chicago area. We currently list support groups that meet in Barrington, Palos Hills, Naperville, Palatine, and downtown Chicago. We additionally have groups just for Women on the Spectrum and the LBGTQ Community on the Spectrum. In addition to the monthly support groups, we have more casual social activities. Keeping the needs of people with Asperger's in mind, these social outings periodically meet at various locations. We have also attended and tabled at a number of autism conferences around the Midwest. We are always looking for suggestions for future activities, discussion topics, and new groups. If you are looking for information on the GRASP Chicago group in Evanston, please visit http://www.grasp.org/res_sg.htm . *A parent or guardian must register teen members under 18, per Meetup regulations. *Please check the ages for each group before RSVPing.</p>

I am planning to get there and start riding in loops. If you are there before I start riding, I will ride with you. In fact, if we get enough people we will ride in "pairs". Each pair will break up according to desired speed. If you want to ride slow, then ride slow. If you want to ride fast, then ride fast. If I don't see you at the start, call my cell*. I will either stop and get you at my next loop, or try to hook you up with someone else who is there. Don't worry, you can hardly get lost, so long as you make only left (or right) turns only.<br/>Sunsets around 7:00, I will be there at 5:15 and leave at 5:30 sharp for the first loop</p> <p>You probably have time for two loops, depending on how fast you ride.</p> <p>*-cell will be published to the yes and maybe RSVP's only.</p> <p><br/>Weather<br/>If it rains (snows) hard or if there is lightening, I wont ride. If it's just a drizzle, I put on my rain gear and go.</p> <p>Watch for the weather forecast for temperatures and what to wear.</p> <p>General rule is that you will "feel" 20 degrees warmer when you're riding.</p> <p><br/>Location<br/>Busse Woods has several entrances. This particular one is off of Arlington Heights Road just north of Higgins across from the GM dealership.</p> <p>It is the park area where the Elk Grove actually is. If you go somewhere and don't see any Elk, you're in the wrong place.</p> <p><br/>Helmet and Waiver Required to Ride with the Group<br/>This year for CCM Rides, helmets will be required. You will sign a waiver as well.</p> <p>Without these, you will not be able to ride with the group. I will carry them with me.</p> <p><br/>Arriving Late?<br/>Go to the trail head, and turn left (south) and you ride along the Elk and then cross the bridge over Higgins Rd. and continue going around the circular loop in a clockwise direction. Follow the red arrows.</p> <p>We will have gone straight (north) and in a counter-clockwise direction.</p> <p>Within 20 minutes or less, you will run into a group of cyclists. When you see us, stop and turn around and follow us (I will make you sign the waiver at the next available stopping point.)</p> <p>my cell phone number is[masked]</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align : center"><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/1/6/e/event_20600846.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px"></img></p> <p>Casual Rides for fun all over the Chicagoland area.

10033427 457627 <p>Come see <b>Noah and the Whale</b>! Its a cheap show, its Saturday night, and its at the Empty Bottle.<br/>With: Ferraby Lionheart and Anni Rossi<br/>Showtime: 10pm (headliner probably at 11:30 or midnight)<br/>Tickets: $10 + fees<br/>Tickets can be purchased through Ticketweb <a href="http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&amp;eventId=1017054">here</a>.</p> <p>While Pitchfork hated Noah and the Whale's 2008 album Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down, other critics loved it. I personally don't always buy into critic opinions and think this group is worth checking out. Wikipedia says that they've been compared to some of our indie rock faves, such as Neutral Milk Hotel, Bonnie Prince Billy and Belle &amp; Sebastien. Another interesting tidbit from Wikipedia: "Their name is a marriage of the title of one of the band's favourite films, The Squid and the Whale, and the director of said film's name (Noah Baumbach). They are also avid fans of the film director Wes Anderson, who helped produce The Squid and the Whale alongside Baumbach; the group's e-mails, and many of their MySpace blog posts, are signed "Sic Transit Gloria", a phrase frequently used in Anderson's film Rushmore." <a href="http://www.noahandthewhale.com/home-old">Check out the band's cheeky webpage.</a> So if you love Wes Anderson movies, like the bands they're compared to, and have nothing else to do April 25th, put your $10 to good use and see this band.</p> <p><a href="http://www.myspace.com/noahandthewhale"><b>Listen to Noah and the Whale</b></a><br/>Their 2008 album Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down is available through Amazon and iTunes.</p> <p>Emily, a CIRF member, was kind enough to provide some videos from a show they played last year at the Empty Bottle.<br/><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wge3D1qvqOI">Rocks &amp; Daggers Live</a><br/><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=civeItNVZuE">Give A Little Love Live</a></p> <p>Are you a Chicago-area fan of indie, underground, and other "non-major label" music?  Do you prefer shows at smaller, intimate venues over giant arenas with overpriced drinks?  Do you love geeking out about music, finding new bands, and meeting others that share your great taste in music?  Then you're in the right place!</p> <p><span>We'll be meeting up to see shows by mostly indie and up-and-coming bands at smaller venues like the Vic, the Riv, Metro, Lincoln Hall, Subterranean, Bottom Lounge, etc.</span> <span>For most event's we'll meet up at a local bar so members can get to know each other before the show.  Everyone can grab a few drinks, geek out about the band or anything else they're currently listening to, then head over to the show as a group.</span></p> <p>Do you already go to a ton of shows and want to help out?  Contact our <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Chicago-Indie-Rock/members/11344723/">head organizer</a> to find out how you can become an organizer too!</p> <p> </p>

While the group is focused towards teens and young adults, others who are dealing with issues this group focuses on are welcome to attend as well.</p> <p>Group begins with the speakers introducing themselves. After that, group splits: teens/young adults in one group... parents, professionals, etc in the other group. (Other adults on the spectrum seem to be welcome in either group... or can "float" between both, depending on what is most comfortable.)<br/>The speaker presents to the teen/young adult group first. Then, that group plays a game and/or does a social skills activity.<br/>In the other group, there is an open discussion. Then, the speaker comes and talks to this group.

Meet with local teens, young adults and adults affected by Asperger's, autism, PDD-NOS, and related autistic spectrum and pervasive developmental issues. Both formally and self-diagnosed people attend regularly. We have several different groups around the Chicago area. We currently list support groups that meet in Barrington, Palos Hills, Naperville, Palatine, and downtown Chicago. We additionally have groups just for Women on the Spectrum and the LBGTQ Community on the Spectrum. In addition to the monthly support groups, we have more casual social activities. Keeping the needs of people with Asperger's in mind, these social outings periodically meet at various locations. We have also attended and tabled at a number of autism conferences around the Midwest. We are always looking for suggestions for future activities, discussion topics, and new groups. If you are looking for information on the GRASP Chicago group in Evanston, please visit http://www.grasp.org/res_sg.htm . *A parent or guardian must register teen members under 18, per Meetup regulations. *Please check the ages for each group before RSVPing.</p>

10033626 1242525 <p>After several meetings our membership is growing and you now have an opportunity to meet more investors than ever!<br/>We'll use the time to get to know each other, talk about being Real Estate Buyers &amp; Investors, and we will discuss a particular topic in real estate and show techniques and tips for being successful.</p> <p>What kind of real estate market are we in now? A great market!! If you don't think that way, you need to get yourself educated, because so many people make so much money from pre-foreclosure, foreclosure, shortsales, REO, Apartment building and condo conversion, buy and hold. Do you notice that real estate is the only thing when it's on sale and nobody wants it.</p> <p>Topics will include: what's going on in the real estate market (Hint: It's not what you hear in the media); how to make money; how to become wealthy; overcoming your fear of success; and much more.</p> <p>*Enjoy a great lunch ranging between $12 - $15 during the one hour meetup.</p> <p>Don't believe all the hype you hear from the talking heads on the T.V. It's not all doom and gloom, there are areas all over the country that are still appreciating. Besides, an educated investor knows how to make money if the market is going up, down, or sideways.</p> <p>It all comes down to being educated. When former Fed. Chairman Alan Greenspan was asked what he thought the difference was between the wealthy and the middle class, his answer was very simple, "The right education!" and he wasn't talking about going to college. If you want to do make money investing in anything, you need to be properly educated.</p> <p>Are you ready to start receiving "The right education"?</p> <p>The Community Network is the support you need to create a successful real estate portfolio! Just by being a member of the Community, YOU will have exclusive access to real estate investor services, professional contacts, real estate investing opportunities, and best of all - the camaraderie of like-minded real estate investors!</p> <p>Meet fellow NEW RICH Real Estate Buyers and Investors near you! All are welcome!</p>
100336432 4627072 <p>Hi All-</p> <p>The next meditation and satsang will be on <b>Thurs. 1/31 at 7:30pm.</b> (237 E. 26th St. Apt. 4E, between 2nd and 3rd Ave.)  Lesson 25 to be sent soon.</p> <p>After the last meditation we watched a short talk by Swami titled, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yatsLw22vIY">What is My Dharma?</a> which related to the Lesson.  One of the main ‘Points to Remember’ according to Kriyananda is, “One’s attitudes are more important than any specific thing one does… Perfection lies not in what one does, but in what one IS, in consciousness.”  Or, as Asha Praver once put it, “Consciousness defines everything. Eventually, that realization is what brings us to the spiritual path.  After many lifetimes, we finally learn that no external experience will bring lasting fulfillment. To have that, we must change our consciousness.”</p> <p>Part of the ‘spiritual homework’ for Lesson 24 is to reflect on the following lines from Yognananda’s poem <i>Samadhi</i>:</p> <p>Present, past, future, no more for me,</p> <p>But ever-present, all-flowing I, I everywhere…</p> <p>I swallowed, transmuted all</p> <p>Into a vast ocean of blood of my own being!</p> <p>Yogananda frequently advised his disciples to memorize his poem, <i>Samadhi</i>, which poetically describes his own experience of cosmic consciousness. He told his disciples:</p> <p>“Visualize yourself in that infinite state. Identify yourself with it in order to awaken within you that lost memory of what you are in reality: children of Infinity. For that alone is what you really are.”  Over the years, Swami Kriyananda has also urged us to memorize the poem and to recite it daily.  I have attached the poem for those of you who are interested.  There is also a great article by Ananda Minister Nakin Lenti called, <a href="http://www.anandaclaritymagazine.com/2006/12/poem-yogananda-meditation/">You Too Can Memorize Yogananda’s Poem <i>Samadhi</i></a> which outlines his experience in memorizing the poem. <a href="http://www.anandaclaritymagazine.com/2006/12/poem-yogananda-meditation/" class="linkified">http://www.anandaclaritymagazine.com/2006/12/poem-yogananda-meditation/</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Ananda meditation groups are places of spiritual satsang for like-minded souls. Ananda NYC meets regularly for meditation, kirtan and satsang based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda.  All are welcome!</p> <p>The purpose of this group is help you experience the joy of meditation in a relaxed and supportive setting with sincere like-minded souls interested in meditating, learning, sharing, and connecting. You'll learn a practical and powerful method of meditation brought to the West by Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic "Autobiography of a Yogi." This ancient healing science will help you reduce tension and feel more relaxed with improved mental clarity and awakened inner vitality. In addition to their scientifically proven health benefits, these techniques can take you even deeper into an expanding connection with your spirit. No prior meditation experience is required to join or attend.</p> <p>If you do not know how to meditate, we will teach you an authentic method that Yogananda himself recommended and taught: it is an easy-to-learn, transformative, and profound technique. In addition to a guided meditation, each meeting is unique with a different theme and will usually include: Chanting, Breath work, Spiritual Reading from Inspiring Books, Healing Prayers...</p> <p><span>Everyone is welcome to join us. No prior experience is required. We are ecumenical, non-denominational, non-dogmatic, and all-inclusive for those of every religion, race, creed, color, orientation, or belief. The group meets approximately every two weeks.</span></p> <p>We have a fairly large distribution email list outside of MeetUp.  So typically many other members come to the events, but may not be RSVP'd on MeetUp.</p> <p>Jai!</p> <p>www.facebook.com/AnandaNYC</p> <p>www.ananda.org</p>
10033650 1335487 <p>Okay, this Wii Party will work just like the rest of 'em. We'll have free play for a while, then move on to a casual tournament. We're going back to basics this week, playing Wii Tennis (our inaugural tournament from months ago!). Will Sasha return and dominate? Will a newcomer take first place? Will Lewis come back? Will Matt drink a lot of Sierra Nevada? ...yes on that last one.</p> <p>The first place prize will be a $30 Gift Card to Play N Trade: Union Square, the city's finest video game establishment. Did you know they repair consoles, sell new and used games, let you play whatever you're interested in buying, and totally up for having a nerd-tastic video game conversation. Seriously, I love this place.</p> <p>As always, The Creek is giving us $3 premium pints (Guinness, Sierra Nevada, Magic Hat, Stella, etc), which is SO CHEAP.</p> <p>And you play for free.</p> <p>What more could you want??</p> <p>Feel free to bring your own Wiimote w/ Mii for this tournament. Bring a game, too...we're happy to try out new multiplayer fun.</p> <p>This is a great, casual group of people. Be ready to meet some great people over Wii on a giant projector screen. See you there!</p> <p>We're a great, casual group of people who love to play games and meet new folks. Be ready to meet some great people over videogames on a giant projector screen!<br> <br> Come join us for some social gaming and conversation with your fellow gamers! We'll play whatever the group is looking to play and that is available, depending on requests and interest before the meetup. If you're interested in playing a particular game once we post the system, bring it along or ask if anyone can bring it when you RSVP!<br> <br> Set up is around 730pm or so, so that's a great time to get a drink, grab some food, and mingle with your fellow gamers!<br> <br> If you're into portable handheld gaming, feel free to bring your 3DS, Vita or whatever you have to play with others on those really busy nights!<br> <br> In order to cover meetup fees and the cost of batteries and other materials, we ask for just a small donation each meetup.  As little as $1 is greatly appreciated towards helping run this group!<br> <br> FYI, we're located in the basement lounge of the Creek and Cave bar &amp; restaurant, so come on in through the restaurant and head down the stairs.  We'll be to the left! <span>As the Creek is both a bar and restaurant you do NOT need to be 21+ to attend this event.</span></p> <p><span>We've also got a Facebook page!

10033695 130643 <p>Meryl Brinin and Russell Clay are offering a Usui Reiki II class that promises to take you beyond time and space to a new level of knowing Reiki and experiencing deep self-healing and the ability to help others!</p> <p>This class will follow William Lee Rand's excellent textbook <b>Reiki: The Healing Touch</b>. The book will be sent to students when you RSVP and pay your class fee.</p> <p> <b>How can I benefit from this class?</b><br/>There are many benefits you will receive from attaining Usui Reiki Level II, including:</p> <p>The peace you feel after letting go of all your old resentment, anger, and worry.<br/>Freedom from old mental blocks and patterns that would otherwise keep you in suffering.<br/>Increased connection to the Reiki Source; a more intimate and loving relationship with Reiki.<br/>Additional Reiki symbols that empower you to transcend the limits of time and space, both for self-healing and to help others.<br/>Sharper intuition and a sense of empowerment and possibility in your thoughts, work, relationships, and Divine purpose on earth.</p> <p> The class will be held in a home environment where Reiki is regularly practiced. A Reiki table will be used for demonstrations and student practice, and you will be comfortable and safe within the sacred space created by the experience and intention of the instructors, Meryl and Russell.

This is a time when having access to your Reiki teacher can be very meaningful - and we'll be there for you!<br/>The textbook, presentations, attunements, and community you will encounter are truly life-changing. It's not knowledge that creates a powerful Reiki practitioner - it's spiritual experience grounded by connection with others. This is what the instructors nurture and facilitate for students.<br/>You will receive a beautiful Certificate signed by 2 Usui Reiki Master Teachers, stating that you have successfully completed the requirements for training and attunements for Usui Reiki Level II.</p> <p> <b>Class guidelines and policies</b><br/>Here are some things you need to know as you look within to find Reiki's guidance about taking this class:</p> <p>There are no "maybe" options - know within yourself if Reiki would have you take the class.<br/><b>When you RSVP you'll be sent an e-mail link to PayPal to pay the class fee of $199.00. You can also pay by check if that's easier. (Please read the refund policy [top of this page] before you sign up for the class.)</b><br/>When your class fee is received you'll be sent the textbook and some additional information to help you prepare for class. You will be expected to be familiar with parts of the textbook before class, so we can focus on experiencing Reiki's living presence.<br/>You must have received Usui Reiki Level I training prior to taking this Level II class.<br/>The class starts at 10:00am and ends at 5:00pm.</p> <p> Please e-mail Meryl or Russell if you have questions about this opportunity.

10033790 1299276 <p>The French have been celebrating their "Fête de la musique" since 1982, New York joined this world wide music festival 25 years later, in 2007, calling it "Make Music New York". But no matter under which name or in which city (meanwhile, there are 340 cities all over the world participating!), the concept is always the same: On 21 June, the first day of summer, artists flood the city with free live music, turning it into "the largest music event ever to grace Gotham" (Metro New York).</p> <p>Make Music New York is a unique festival of free concerts in public spaces throughout the five boroughs of New York City - a global celebration of music making.</p> <p>Here is some more information from the US website:<br/><a href="http://www.makemusicny.org/"><a href="http://www.makemusicn" class="linkified">http://www.makemusicn</a>...</a></p> <p>"From 11 in the morning to 10 at night, musicians of all ages, creeds, and musical persuasions - from hip hop to opera, Latin jazz to punk rock - perform on streets, sidewalks, stoops, plazas, cemeteries, parks and gardens. From high school bands to marquee names, MMNY is open to anyone who wants to take part, enjoyed by everyone who wants to attend.</p> <p>Along with the hundreds of individual concerts, MMNY will introduce a new project this year called 'Mass Appeal', where hundreds of musicians band together to perform massive pieces written for a single type of instrument.</p> <p>MMNY is also celebrating Jazzmobile’s 45th anniversary this year with a special series of jazz events in each borough: check back for more details."</p> <p>There should be something for every taste in this year's program which you can find <a href="http://newyork.timeout.com/make-music/section/music">here.</a></p> <p>I am planning to check out some of those cool rock bands that will perform all over Williamsburg. If you are into rock music, too, join me at 2.45 p.m. in front of a vintage clothing shop called "Buffalo Exchange" near the Bedford Avenue L Train station. A band called Ecotone Refugees is going to hit the stage at 3 p.m. From there we are going to stroll along Bedford Avenue and the surrounding streets and just go with the flow of the music. For a full listing of all the rock bands playing in Williamsburg, <a href="http://newyork.timeout.com/make-music/search/events/MMNYGenre=ROCK&amp;count=250&amp;page=1&amp;neighborhood=13&amp;date=MMNY&amp;section=599&amp;city=2">click here.</a></p> Hello 1001ers I thought it would be really fun to put together a list of 1001 really special "NYC" only activities that are true to the character of this city. Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

10033799 130643 <p><b>DNA Reconstruction: Activation and Meditation.<br/></b></p> <p>Our DNA are not just genetic instructions to create protein and accelerate the growth of our bodies, as conventional science claims.<br/>DNA are also transmission devices that allow the transfer of data between us and spiritual realms of God, Spirit and the Masters.<br/>Our 2 stands of DNA allow us to exchange data, much like a TV set allows us to receive TV broadcasts. Originally, we were created with 12 physical strands of DNA so the transmission and reception of data was vast and broad.</p> <p>About 568 billion years ago, during the Angelic War, the Annu Elohim, or “fallen angels,” began to alter our DNA by dismantling and blocking our ability to receive and transmit from 10 of the 12 strands of DNA. The result of this interference is that we now find ourselves with only 2 fully-grown DNA strands and 10 so-called “junk” or “atrophied” DNA strands.</p> <p>At the 2008 Blue Moon Wesak in the Catskill Mountains, God, Spirit and the Masters gifted the planet with the ability to re-access our 12 stands of physical DNA. This is not an etheric activation, but the spiritual technology to physically regrow the 10 shadow stands of DNA, resulting in 12 fully-grown DNA strands. Having done this, man will regain his Divine Gifts, Abilities and Powers to receive and send data to and from anywhere and to anyone in the omniverse.</p> <p>Join us and review the step by step instructions of this Divine Technology on how to rebuild our 12 physical strands of DNA. Restore your divine powers and gifts that were stripped from you 568 billion years ago at the start of the Angelic War. Repair the damages that were done and claim your spiritual inheritance.</p> <p>The second half of this Meetup will be devoted to the complete mediation and activation that will create the connections and attunements to the 12 collectives that will gift us with the ability to re-grow our 12 strands of DNA.</p> <p>Please note-This Meetup will run for approximately 2 1/2 hours to allow for all questions to be answered &amp; to put into practice all we have learned in part 1.</p> <p>Bio:<br/>Pierre began his spiritual journey at age 17 when he was initiated in the Mystery Schools. He followed the initiatory path for more them 20 years. Pierre is currently the Branch Leader in New York for the I AM University. He is a star seed light worker who heard the call the of Spirit and the Masters and responded to this spiritual call.

New York Magazine's Adam Platt raves:</p> <p>"At Tertulia, [Chef Mullen] finally has a restaurant to call his own, and the result is a rich, deceptively sophisticated menu which does for tapas-style Spanish cuisine what Batali did for Italian pastas and April Bloomfield did for English pub food.”</p> <p> </p> <p><b>As always, please take your RSVP seriously. I will ask that you confirm your attendance at least 48 hours before the meetup.</b></p> <p>New York City is home to a neverending list of lovely restaurants and dining locales. It is also home to an amazingly diverse group of smart and interesting people. The purpose of this group is to bring these two things together. The agenda? It is simple - 1. We'll pick the restaurant (requirements: in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens with delicious food and an enticing cocktail menu). 2. We'll make a reservation for 6. 3. 5 people sign-up (requirements: ages 21-35 and loves to eat, drink, and talk!) 4. We dine (and drink!) Once you RSVP yes, it means you are committing to attending the meet-up. 36-48 hours before each meetup one of the organizers will request that you will once more confirm your attendance. No-shows will be removed from the group.</p>
10034057 204612 <p>For April, we thought we'd head to Zanaro's for some yummie Italian food. Dinner starts at 8, but we invite you to join us for cocktails around 7:30 at the bar.</p> <p>If you can't join us for dinner, feel free to meet up with us for drinks afterwards. We'll be heading to Elements to enjoy the rooftop bar around 10-10:30.</p> <p>Please RSVP for dinner by April 21st, no need to RSVP if you're just joining us for drinks later on. See you soon!</p> <p>We are a Social Networking Group for Young Professionals in and around Westchester County. Join us to meet new, fun, down to earth, educated 20-somethings (or 30-somethings who refuse to mature) without having to take the train into NYC. We hope to have a variety of social events and activities around the area to give everyone a chance to meet some new people and have fun. Suggestions for events are encouraged!</p>
100341442 1705299 <p>A Meetup session introducing FMA Solo Baston System. Basically an intro to single stick methodology and practices.  Geared for both beginners and or intermediate practitioners of FMA. Concepts, techniques, applications, are but some of the elements to be covered at this interesting and Meetup session. Attendance is limited to a few. RSVP only, thank you.</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : 13px">This group began as a way to introduce the diverse, practical and<br />beautiful martial arts of the Philippines. It provides a venue where<br />people can explore and learn the systems and methods that make up the<br />Filipino Martial Arts. People into dance, theater, music, physical<br />fitness, weight loss, health practice, etc. are among the many that<br />can benefit from the practice of FMA. Awakening to the physical,<br />mental, and spiritual levels of the body and its energies are but some<br />of the faculties that can be cultivated during FMA practice. Vital<br />strategies for dealing with everyday life situations are also<br />enhanced. No prior martial knowledge, experience or equipment is<br />necessary to partake of what FMA has to offer.</span></strong></p>

10034506 241031 <p>Hi Everyone,</p> <p>I know June sent out a meetup for the 19th-the first REGULAR SEASON weekend. But there are a number of us who can't get tix to the Yanks/Cubs at the Stadium. So I figured it would be great for a bunch of us to get together at a bar and watch the Yankees take the field at the new park for the 1st time (well the 2nd time but it will be the 1st Saturday). The Yanks will take on the Cubs at 1:05 in their last pre-season tuneup before Tuesday's opener and the game will of course be carried by YES.</p> <p>I hope to see many of you there to enjoy the unveiling of the Yanks new digs! I am very excited. If need by you can call my cell[masked]-0800.</p> <p>Go Yankees!-Eric</p> <p>This is the group for any Yankees fans old and new!!</p> <p>We hope to meet other Yankee Fans, share some good laughs and drinks while watching the games, go to the games, but most importantly to just have a good time.</p>

Rabbi Hammerman will also be talking about sexuality from a Jewish perspective.</p> <p>Mark your calendars now as the series culminates with a singles <b>5-minute Speed dating</b> social event on <b>May 21</b> at Beth El. Also, <b>Kosher Sex Session 3</b> is scheduled for <b>April 23</b> at Beth El. <b>Even if you didn't attend the first event, ALL ARE INVITED TO ATTEND!</b></p> <p>This is a great way to meet other singles in the area in a casual, informative, and supporting environment.</p> <p>Please RSVP your plans to attend.

100345992 15324 <p>A superb water and wilderness archipelago, this is Isle Royale National Park. Experience nature in all her moods of peace and violence, an island of mystery and scientific exploration. Isle Royale is unique among the National Parks in its wilderness setting, cut off as it is from the mainland by many miles of Lake Superior waters. Backpacking at Isle Royale is a premier backcountry destination. No roads, no cars, only wave-swept shores and boreal forest trails that will be long remembered.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>Itinerary</b></p> <p> </p> <p>This will be an advanced backpacking trip, spanning May 23-June 1. We will leave Chicago on Thursday May 23 and carpool to Copper Harbor, Michigan (approx 8hr drive). Thursday night we will camp at Ft. Wilkins State Park campground. Friday morning we board the Isle Royale Queen IV vessel and cross Lake Superior to Isle Royale’s Rock Harbor (~3.5 hour crossing, take precautions if you are prone to motion sickness). From Rock Harbor we will backpack into the park and camp at designated campsites. Daily mileage will range 6-12 miles. The organizers will select the route and campgrounds. The return ferry crossing from Isle Royale will be Friday May 31, arriving at Copper Harbor around 6pm. Plan to arrive back in Chicago sometime Saturday June 1.</p> <p><b>Who Can Attend:</b></p> <p>This trip is suitable for backpackers with three-season backpacking experience over multiple days. If you have not been on a Beginner Bootcamp, you should not be on this trip. Contact one of the organizers if you are unsure of your backpacking experience.</p> <p><b>Other Considerations:</b></p> <p>One should understand the risks before signing up for this trip. Added caution and safety considerations will be taken, for there are no medical facilities at Isle Royale and it is a long trip from the park to a doctor’s office. Even a minor accident can turn a happy outing into a dismal experience. The organizers will collect some basic medical information in the event of an emergency.</p> <p>You will need to bring your own gear and food. A good tent or shelter and adequate bedding are essential. Light-weight equipment is best. Warm clothing is a must. Stout, waterproof, and comfortable footwear is best for the rough and often wet terrain. A lightweight waterproof hardshell, trousers, and packcover or poncho are recommended. Expect rain and some insects (mosquitoes and black flies are not expected to be too bothersome during late May, but be prepared). Organizers will coordinate a gear shakedown before departure. See Group Camping Information link below for detailed information on gear, food and other precautions.</p> <p>Opportunities for photography are excellent, so take your cue camera fans. Binoculars are handy for close observation of wildlife and for distant views.</p> <p>Campfires are only permitted at a small number of campgrounds, so plan not to have a fire most nights. A small, lightweight stove is required for cooking.</p> <p>Because of the potential for cold temperatures and remoteness of location, alcohol consumption is permitted but can be dangerous. You are responsible for your safety and comfort.</p> <p>Fishing licenses are not required for inland lakes and streams; however, you must purchase a Michigan fishing license if you plan to fish on Lake Superior or connecting waters. Click the below Group Camping Information link for more information regarding fishing regulations.</p> <p><b>Costs:</b></p> <p>$120 per person for round-trip ferry fare</p> <p>$32 per person for NPS user fee (8 days @ $4/day).</p> <p>$20 (approx.) per person for parking &amp; camping fees in Copper Harbor &amp; Ft. Wilkins State Park</p> <p>$5 non-refundable Meetup fee (pay when you signup).</p> <p>You are responsible for all fees, so please bring cash. User fees, parking and camping fees will be collected by the organizers on Thursday May 23. You are responsible for making your own ferry reservation. See Isle Royale Queen IV link below for ferry reservation information.</p> <p><b>Carpool:</b></p> <p>Organizers will arrange carpools approximately 10-14 days prior to departure. No need to solicit rides. Be sure to check the email associated with your Meetup profile and respond promptly to carpool information requests. Gasoline costs will be split among members of each carpool.</p> <p><b>Guidelines</b>:</p> <p>We practice Leave No Trace and expect everyone attending be committed to these principles. <a href="http://lnt.org/"><a href="http://lnt.org/" class="linkified">http://lnt.org/</a></a></p> <p>No add-ons.

We provide opportunities for backpacking education, trip organization, and backpacker networking.<br> <br> </p> <ul> <li>Backpacking education: The club helps teach new backpackers about backpacking: hiking self-sustained for consecutive days in a wilderness area carrying all necessary supplies in a backpack. We do this through trips and clinics that provide opportunities for all members, old and new, to continually improve their skills in the safest possible situations.</li> <li>Trip organization: The group's volunteer organizers plan a variety of trips throughout the year, from one-night beginners-only trips up to week-long advanced treks out west. Individual organizers choose the location, plan the route, set up car pools, and take care of other trip logistics. Individual members are responsible for their own gear and food.</li> <li>Backpacker networking: By going on trips and frequenting the various online message boards, members are encouraged to connect with other backpackers who share similar interests, and plan their own trips using the Meetup interface to further enjoy the sport beyond what the Chicago Backpackers organizers can offer.</li> </ul> <p><br> We practice <a href="http://www.lnt.org/programs/principles.php">low-impact, leave no trace backpacking</a>. Our trips usually consist of 10 to 14 people to minimize the impact we will have on our favorite locations and new trails, to keep them as fresh as possible for ourselves and other backpackers.</p> <p><span style="font-size : x-small"><span><strong><br> </strong></span></span></p>

10034652 683131 <p>Many years ago a beautiful yellow diamond was "looted from the holy city of Somnauth." Since that time, Hindu priests have waited for the right moment to reclaim the precious stone. So, when the diamond disappears, the case seems straightforward. The publishers write that <i>The Moonstone</i> is, "Called 'the first and greatest of English detective novels' by T.S.Eliot...Witnesses, suspects, and detectives each narrate the story in turn. The bemused butler, the love-stricken housemaid, the enigmatic detective Sergeant Cuff, the drug-addicted scientist—each speculate on the mystery as Collins weaves their narratives together. The Moonstone transcends the genre of detective novel or murder mystery, though, and this new edition features a fascinating introduction by John Sutherland which discusses the themes of imperialism, sensationalism and mesmerism."</p> Gather, read, share, and discuss mysteries while meeting other mystery fans. This meetup group is for all kinds of great people who love quality mysteries. Find out more about us, what we have read, our RSVP Policy, and links by visiting our "About Us" Page.

100346992 2794522 <p>A Sunday afternoon of trivia at a new location for this meetup. We'll be downstairs. Games include Times to Remember, Quick Wit and Initial Reaction. Here are the details:</p> <p>TIMES TO REMEMBER - what year did the various events happen? Guess within the range and you score.</p> <p>QUICK WIT - questions in various subjects that test your visual and mental solving skills</p> <p>INITIAL REACTION - come up with famous names for the initials showing. GM, OW, ZT? Possible answers - George Maharis, Oscar Wilde and Zachary Taylor.</p> <p>In addition, Ed is bringing the WORLD'S GREATEST TRIVIA GAME and the BIG BANG THEORY GAME, based on the TV show. Those arriving early will get to choose which table to sit at.</p> <p>Looking forward to trying out these games. Now here are your trivia questions, based on people who recently left us:</p> <p>1 Conrad Bain was the dad on Diff'rent Strokes. What other 70s sitcom was he on?</p> <p>2 What was Dear Abby's other known pen name?</p> <p>3 Who was Dear Abby's famous sister?</p> <p>4 What baseball team did Stan Musial play for?</p> <p>5 What was Patti Page's biggest hit song on the charts?</p> <p>Okay, hope you can make it.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>This is a group for those who like games based on trivia. Games to be played include Trivial Pursuit (natch),  Blast From The Past, Chronology, Facts in Five, Finish Lines, The Logo Game, Newshound, Smart Ass, 20 Questions, Who Am I?, Wits and Wagers and more. Different games will be played at each meetup, and there's over 30 games. Meetups will take place in Manhattan on weekends, at least twice a month, more often if the group catches on. IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ - while these games are mostly easy to learn and fun to play, they ask questions or provide clues to specific answers. Therefore, having general knowledge in various subjects is required to play and enjoy these games. For some games, you'll be on a team or partnered with someone, so it won't always be up to you to come up with an answer. But again, given the format of these games, a general knowledge in various subjects is required. Subjects covered include Geography, History, Literature, Science, Sports and the various areas of Pop Culture (Movies, Music, Theater and TV). If you're looking for games like Monopoly or Taboo, this is NOT the meetup group for you (there are meetup groups for those games, by the way). A list of the games to be played is shown in the Discussions section of these boards. If you've read the above and feel you qualify, sign up and join. If you know others who are trivia geeks, let them know about this group. So put on your thinking caps, and get your game on!!</p>

10034858 1313849 <p>PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN LOCATION AND TIME!</p> <p>Apparently, "reservations for 20 at 7:30pm on March 28" somehow translated to "i do not understand the words coming out of your mouth" and as a result they are completely booked! Good thing I called to re-confirm! grr</p> <p>It seems like it is national "take a big group out for Mexican food" day as it seems that most places serving margaritas are extremely full!!! I have managed to get us in at The Twisted Lizard. We will meet at 7:30 - 7:45 pm at the bar and enjoy some great margaritas and appetizers while we wait for our table being set up at 8:30 pm!!! Some of us will be heading there straight from the movie, so you are all welcome to join us around 7:30 pm!!!</p> <p>They also have 3 other groups there which is a very good indication of the quality of food they serve.</p> <p>Sorry about the confusion and change in plans.</p> <p> Mexican't?... Hello they have margaritas!!! (enough said)</p> <p>One flight down from the busy intersection of Sheffield and Armitage lies the Twisted Lizard, a lively little Mexican restaurant that caters to the Lincoln Park crowd. Young professionals feast on Mexican foods prepared with "market-fresh" ingredients. The menu features fajitas, enchiladas, chimichangas, burritos and "sincronizadas" (layered flour tortillas filled with re-fried black beans and choice of meat or vegetables). Appetizers include "queso fundido" (baked cheese) and multiple versions of quesadillas. The festive decor and cheery Mexican music lend a fiesta ambience to the surroundings -- however, the ever-flowing margaritas the bar pours are what really lift the crowd into the party spirit. There are eight types of margaritas served by the pitcher and there's a lineup of premium tequilas for building even more margaritas.</p> <p>See you there!</p> <p>As with all dining meetups, cash is king! I will be in charge of the bill when it arrives and will calculate what each person owes, including tax and a 20% tip.</p> <p>***THREE STRIKE RULE APPLIES TO ALL EVENTS*** A strike is when you RSVP Yes, and decide not to show up without making any effort to inform the organizer about your change in plans. You are responsible for the attendance of your guests.</p> <p>Chicago Young Professionals (CYP) - Was created to provide you with a platform to meet other yuppies in the city that share similar interests, explore all that the city has to offer while supporting the local Chicago economy.

We will use our connections to introduce filmmakers, actors, and other artists with the intent to grow a more expansive and collaborative creative body that can bestow both inspiration and resources to our chapter.<br> <br> <br> The next few months of Indiezone.tv Local NYC will consist of meetings, film screenings, and music events.

Desperate to get her son into a better school, Rose persuades Norah to go into the crime scene clean-up business with her to make some quick cash. In no time, the girls are up to their elbows in murders, suicides and other…specialized situations.

But of course you are worthy of this opportunity to work with your body to <span style="text-decoration : underline">have fun and play</span>! You are just unfamiliar with the territory and hesitate to try it because of a <span style="text-decoration : underline">fear of failure</span>. In fact, this is what keeps some people off of the dance floor, because if they were to actually "fail," it may confirm that biggest fear. However, dancing is not about success or failure. It is about confronting your potential to embrace happiness through movement. In a way, as dance teachers, we are therapists, and DanceSport is like a center for personal change.</p> <p><br> The take home message here is that you do, indeed, have rhythm. You just don't want to feel like a fish out of water. This is why so many people are attracted to Dancing With the Stars. The stars, too, are conquering their fears of celebration and expression. Even if, and especially if, you have already proven to be successful in other ways, embarking on learning a new skill like dance can be scary. But you can't fail unless you try, and there is no failure, so.... what are you waiting for? Take a deep breath, and come join us on the floor!</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

When the senses are unclouded by the mind’s interpretations, a natural clarity of perception occurs with accompanying spontaneous feelings of joy, inner calmness and connection.</p> <p>Diksha works by awakening Kundalini, a latent spiritual energy located at the base of the spine. This creates a gradual shift in consciousness, balancing the body’s natural healing energies and attuning the brain to higher levels of awareness. It helps quiet the overactive thinking centers of the brain, mainly in the parietal lobes and stimulates the underactive frontal lobes.</p> <p>Diksha neither requires practicing a particular way of living nor is an initiation into following a new path. It does not bind one to any philosophy or ideology. It is not a concept, nor a religion, nor does it promulgate any required beliefs. Each recipient brings to the experience their own concepts of the Ultimate, be they religious, scientific, profane or divine.”</p> <p> </p>

10035496 1292899 <p>Greetings Big Apple Raw Foodies!</p> <p>I hope all of you are outside right now enjoying this glorious day! Thanks to those who came to dinner last night at Caravan of Dreams. We enjoyed delicious food and very interesting conversation :-) I enjoyed meeting some new people and seeing some familiar faces again.</p> <p>A member, Kaaron, has told me about this place called Adelina, which has opened in the place of Sal Anthony's if any of you visited that restaurant for the short time that it was open. Anyway, I checked out the website (and I encourage you to do the same) and the menu looks both delicious and reasonably priced! I just spoke with the restaurant on the telephone, and he said the max reservation is 10 people so I'm capping it at that-- so RSVP soon! Also since there is a limit, I am asking that you please RSVP YES if you know you can come, otherwise just say no (in other words, no MAYBE's here....)</p> <p>Looking forward. Also, a potluck in April is in the mix so stay tuned......and thank you Kaaron!</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Janelle</p> <p>Whether you are 100% vegan/raw, or you're interested in vegan/raw foods, or you just plain like some of your food healthy, come hang out and have fun with us! I started this group to meet some people interested in a healthy way of eating and lifestyle. Welcome to people of all walks of life.</p>

10036004 308179 <p>Important Note: Meetup now has a waitlist feature. This means that if the meetup is full, you can sign up for the waiting list, and if someone registered for the meetup cancels, members on the list will be registered for the event on a first-come first-served basis. This means it's more important than ever that you come play tennis if you've signed up -- and cancel in advance if you can't make it. And if you are on the waiting list, make sure to check your email on the day of the event! In order to be fair to all our members, we're going to get serious about enforcing the rules.</p> <p>Now on to the fun stuff -- the weather on Saturday is supposed to be nice, so I'm scheduling two sessions. Let's wear out some strings, folks!</p> <p>If you've never been to the courts before and you need a guide, please let me know beforehand, and I'll try to arrange for someone to meet you at the University Deli (the courts are in Columbia University territory) a little before the event.</p> <p>Please note that there are no stores or concession stands anywhere near the courts and the water fountains are almost certainly still off, so you should bring anything you'll need to eat or drink with you.</p> <p>There are four ways to get to the courts: by walking or biking up through the park, by walking down along the river from 181st St., by driving over and parking on Riverside, and by getting off the subway at 168th St. and Broadway right by the University Deli. The last one is the only route I know, so that's what I'll describe.

We'll meet up to walk around Oak Park/River Forest/Forest Park and on local trails. We've also been known to do a little hiking, biking, eating and drinking as a group.</p> <p>To lose weight and to keep it off, you need to get moving. Walking at a moderate pace for 30-60 minutes burns stored fat and can build muscle to speed up your metabolism.

10036034 308179 <p>Important Note: Meetup now has a waitlist feature. This means that if the meetup is full, you can sign up for the waiting list, and if someone registered for the meetup cancels, members on the list will be registered for the event on a first-come first-served basis. This means it's more important than ever that you come play tennis if you've signed up -- and cancel in advance if you can't make it. And if you are on the waiting list, make sure to check your email on the day of the event! In order to be fair to all our members, we're going to get serious about enforcing the rules.</p> <p>Now on to the fun stuff -- the weather on Saturday is supposed to be nice, so I'm scheduling two sessions. Let's wear out some strings, folks!</p> <p>If you've never been to the courts before and you need a guide, please let me know beforehand, and I'll try to arrange for someone to meet you at the University Deli (the courts are in Columbia University territory) a little before the event.</p> <p>Please note that there are no stores or concession stands anywhere near the courts and the water fountains are almost certainly still off, so you should bring anything you'll need to eat or drink with you.</p> <p>There are four ways to get to the courts: by walking or biking up through the park, by walking down along the river from 181st St., by driving over and parking on Riverside, and by getting off the subway at 168th St. and Broadway right by the University Deli. The last one is the only route I know, so that's what I'll describe. (If you drive, park on Riverside somewhat north of 165th St. and follow the detailed directions linked to below starting in step 4.)</p> <p>The 'A', the 'C' and the '1' trains stop right by the deli, but be sure to check for service advisories, because the MTA has been suspending some lines lately (usually on the weekends) to do track and signal work.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mta.info/nyct/service/subsrvnweekend.htm"><a href="http://www.mta.info/n" class="linkified">http://www.mta.info/n</a>...</a></p> <p>You can also take a few different bus lines to get to the deli.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mta.info/mta/maps.htm"><a href="http://www.mta.info/m" class="linkified">http://www.mta.info/m</a>...</a></p> <p>In case you are new and get lost, please bring your cell phones!</p> <p><b>Detailed directions from the deli to the courts are available here.</p> <p><a href="http://tennis.meetup.com/213/messages/boards/thread/4579457"><a href="http://tennis.meetup" class="linkified">http://tennis.meetup</a>....</a></p> <p>If you're new to the courts, I suggest printing them out so you can refer to them en route!</b></p> <p>Here's the National Weather Service Detailed 7-Day Forecast.</p> <p><a href="http://www.crh.noaa.gov/forecasts/NYZ075.php?warncounty=NYC047&amp;city=New+York"><a href="http://www.crh.noaa.g" class="linkified">http://www.crh.noaa.g</a>...</a></p> <p>If bad weather forces me to cancel the event, I'll let you know by email as early as possible, and of course anyone who paid the fee online will be given a refund immediately.</p> <p>And last but not least, between covering the fees Meetup.com charges organizers and providing a full basket of tennis balls for everyone to play with, including a bunch of new cans every day so that we're never stuck playing with old, dead balls, it winds up costing well over $1,000 per year just to hold basic tennis events, so please remember to pay the event fee.

10036142 365014 <p>Hello everyone,<br/>The Greater Chicago Food Depository, Chicago's food bank, is a not-for-profit food distribution and training center providing food for hungry people while striving to end hunger in the Chicago area. The Food Depository distributes donated and purchased food through a network of 600 food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters to almost a half-million adults and children every year. The Food Depository distributes more than 40 million pounds of nonperishable food and fresh produce, dairy products and meat, the equivalent of more than 84,000 meals every day. Innovative training programs and initiatives developed by the Food Depository also work to provide men, women and children with the tools necessary to break their individual cycles of poverty.</p> <p>The best part is that “you” get to be actively involved in this process. Here's where you come in: Each and every bit of food needs to be inspected, packed, and prepped for distribution to the 600 agencies mentioned above (shelters, churches, soup kitchens, etc). Volunteers like us are key to that process. We separate good food from bad (fruit, veggies, dairy, check expiration dates), re-package bulk items (cereal, rice, pasta), clean items that may have spilled during transport (soda cans, juice boxes), and prepare boxes for distribution (breakfast/lunch/ dinner for a family of 4, 6, or 8).</p> <p>So here are the details:<br/>Time: 1:00-5:00 (arrive by 1:00 for check-in and orientation)<br/>Place: GCFD warehouse at 4100 W Ann Lurie Place (42nd Place), Chicago (Rt 55, exit at Pulaski)<br/>Attire: Jeans and long sleeved shirt/blouse; closed-toe shoes (no shorts, no sandals, no flip-flops, no sleeveless). We're working in a warehouse, so we'll probably get a little dirty.<br/>If you're interested in helping out and are available this date, please RSVP accordingly.<br/>For more details, go to www.chicagosfoodbank.org</p> <p>The Chicago Black Professionals Meetup is a group primarily made up of men and women over the age of 21 here in the Chicago area whom share an interest in ethnic heritages rooted in the African diaspora. We come from broadly diverse educational, professional, and social backgrounds, but we have a common interest: to come together for social networking. We strive to promote social connections between our members, and to promote a healthy and free exchange of information and ideas between the members of the group that will enrich their lives.</p> <p>Please note that our events are intended for adults over the age of 21. Exceptions will be noted in the event descriptions or comments.<br> <br> Advertising: this is defined as one or more of the following criteria; 1) a business you have a direct financial interest in; 2) a service you deliver for money.<br> <br> Any postings that fit the Advertiser criteria above belong in the Business Exchange Forum.

100368992 4379222 <p>The path that led Irving Penn to the seemingly galactic abstractions of his late series<i>Underfoot</i> lay just outside his studio door. Walking the streets of Manhattan with a portable stool and a camera fitted with several extension tubes, Penn lowered his eye and his equipment nearly to the pavement. There he found a universe of abject form: pebbled concrete, cheap discarded matches and cigarette butts, and above all a wealth of masticated gum. Capturing patches of this blobby urban landscape at close range, Penn transformed it with characteristic precision into a world of odd beauty, complete unto itself and unplaceably remote. Former Art Institute Director James Wood, with whom Penn had worked closely to establish the vast archive of his photographs and papers held at the museum, visited the studio and later marveled to Penn at how these photographs showed “the cosmos underfoot.” The Irving Penn Foundation has generously offered all 36 photographs from <i>Underfoot</i> as a gift to the Art Institute in Wood’s memory. - from the Art Institute website</p> <p>This group is for anyone who has an interest in all types of photography and enjoys going on photo shoots as well as gallery openings, museum exhibits, and photographer lectures.</p> <p> </p> <p>We're here to help each other become better photographers, and to have fun!</p>

A great market!! If you don't think that way, you need to get yourself educated, because so many people make so much money from pre-foreclosure, foreclosure, shortsales, REO, Apartment building and condo conversion, buy and hold.

Le fran&ccedil;ais des affaires &eacute;tait au programme de l&rsquo;Alliance &agrave; l&rsquo;&eacute;poque &ndash; Monsieur Marcial, un Breton &eacute;tait le Professeur.</p> <p>Une vingtaine d&rsquo;&eacute;l&egrave;ves &eacute;taient inscrits &agrave; ce cours. Martial et une demie-douzaine d&rsquo;&eacute;l&egrave;ves ont commenc&eacute; &agrave; se rendre tous les mercredis apr&egrave;s le cours, au Santa Fe, un petit bar restaurant au nord west du coin de Chicago et de Dearborn. L&agrave;, on avait une bi&egrave;re et pratiquer notre fran&ccedil;ais dans un milieu social. C&rsquo;&eacute;tait la bonne id&eacute;e . <br /><br />Tr&egrave;s t&ocirc;t, le Santa Fe ne pouvait plus nous contenir et nous nous sommes d&eacute;plac&eacute;s &agrave; une rue &agrave; l&rsquo;est , &agrave; Deno Deli et Pub, un restaurant de famille qui perdait sa client&egrave;le au profit du Burger King du coin. Nous &eacute;tions une client&egrave;le potentielle pour Deno les mercredis pendant 6 ans. C&rsquo;est l&agrave; o&ugrave; nous avions d&eacute;velopp&eacute; et perfectionn&eacute; notre code MODUS OPERANDI : pas de nom, pas de dirigeant, pas de cotisation, pas de lois, pas de snobisme.</p> <p>Les couches tard apr&egrave;s chaque r&eacute;union chez Deno, se rendaient au Santa Fe pour continuer leur discussion. En 1993, Deno ferma au profit de Burger King. Palmas, juste sur la m&ecirc;me rue &eacute;tait le coin id&eacute;al pour nous, compte tenu de l&rsquo;importance en nombre du groupe. Un an apr&egrave;s, le groupe avait encore besoin d&rsquo;une place plus grande. La r&eacute;ponse &eacute;tait Rio, un restaurant br&eacute;silien bon march&eacute;. C&rsquo;&eacute;tait une bonne ann&eacute;e. <br /><br />Apr&egrave;s la fermeture du Rio, le groupe se retrouva chez Oncle Tutunji un restaurant Libanais. Le manger &eacute;tait bon et pas cher. Tres agr&eacute;ables personnes. Que demande le peuple? <br /><br />Quelques temps apr&egrave;s, le groupe est transf&eacute;r&eacute; au Portillo&rsquo;s restaurant, au coin de Clark et Ontario et qui fait de la restauration populaire. Apr&egrave;s un bref d&eacute;placement au Caf&eacute; de Lucca, le groupe revient au Portillo o&ugrave; il tient ses rencontres tous les Mercredis. <br /><br />Sans dirigeant, c&rsquo;&eacute;tait une fa&ccedil;on de parler, il y a toujours eu un responsable qui recoit et qui pr&eacute;sente le groupe , qui s&rsquo;occupe des introductions entre les personnes &ndash; si vous voulez les membres.</p> <p>Pour les premi&egrave;res dix ann&eacute;es, le responsible &eacute;tait Patrick Cooper, qui travaillait &agrave; l&rsquo;&eacute;poque &agrave; l&rsquo;office du tourisme francais et qui a dem&eacute;nag&eacute; en France. Apr&egrave;s, en 1997,Jim Zerwin a prit la rel&egrave;ve chez Portillos, il vit actuellement &agrave; Bangkok.</p> <p>Depuis 2006, Sheri Ard, une des fondateurs du groupe, est devenu la responsible en remplacement Jim Zerwin avec l&rsquo;assistance de Stefanie et puis Jim Siegler. <br /><br />Le comit&eacute; fondateur du Mercredi outre Patrick Cooper, Jim Zerwin et Sheri Ard, on pouvait compter : Ellen Urquiaga, Terri Collins, Laura Veeneman, Beth Ann Cooper, David Covill, Katie Walsh et Shela O&rsquo;Donnovan et la tradition continue. <br />Beaucoup d&rsquo;activit&eacute;s &agrave; l&rsquo;&eacute;poque : un brunch mensuel, le troisi&egrave;me Samedi du mois au restaurant John Barleycorn sur Lincoln.Apr&egrave;s 2 ans, le groupe quitte pour la Creperie &agrave; North Clark o&ugrave; il est reste plusieurs ann&eacute;es. <br />En 1990, l&rsquo;id&eacute;e de se retrouver ensemble le Vendredi au Saint-Germain un restaurant francais a state et division est ajout&eacute;e au programme. <br />1990 &ndash; 1991 , beaucoup de groupes francophones ont vu le jour pour la promotion de la langue fran&ccedil;aise . Le Groupe Professionnel Francophone dont Ellen Urquiara et David Reithoffer sont les premiers Pr&eacute;sident et Directeur. <br />Les premiers members du G.P.F. etaient Tom Walsh, Wicki Peterson, Richard Flater, Susan Arjmand et Rhonda Sibille. Le G.P.F. tient une r&eacute;union mensuelle : le dernier Jeudi de chaque mois &agrave; Renaissance Hotel au coin de State et Wacker Dr. <br />23 ans d&rsquo;existence cette ann&eacute;e, font du Groupe du Mercredi le premier Groupe Sociolinguistique fran&ccedil;ais de Chicago.</p> <p><br />Pour toute information, contactez la responsable du groupe: Sheri 312-848-8272</p>

The purpose is to to gather occasionally in a local place (bookstore, library, restaurant, park etc.,) for a slow motion relaxing time where we can exchange ideas, points of view, or just think out loud and get a response. Schools of thought, fundamental nature or knowledge, reality, values, existence, ethics, good, bad and other subjects as they arise. An exploration of the global "connect" or luck thereof. Perhaps let the mind wonder in the world of "what if" as it relates to the future.

10038098 535652 <p>Come check out New York's hottest new karaoke night! Enjoy Karaoke and great drink specials: $2 Wicked shots, $4 Wicked margaritas and $3 Coronas! We want you to sing some songs with us. We'll introduce you around if you don't know anyone. We have high energy and we want to make sure everyone has a good time. Ask for Mary and Abbi when you walk in. You can't miss us. See you there! Mary and Abbi. (Elphaba and Glinda)</p> <p>Welcome to the VOCAL BRILLIANCE Meetup group!</p> <p>This group is intended to cater to all types of singers. Whether you&rsquo;re a seasoned professional, an intermediate hobbyist, or a complete beginner hoping to get your feet wet; whether your focus is rock, pop, classical, Broadway, Jazz, R&amp;B&hellip;there will be an event designed specifically for you.</p> <p>Our primary purpose is to have fun becoming better singers; to improve together as vocal artists and performers beyond where we are at present. The &ldquo;how&rdquo; depends largely on our current level of proficiency, our current levels of training and experience, and where our interests lie.</p> <p>That is why each event will be geared towards different singers with different goals. Some events will be designed for beginners looking to get their feet wet among friends. Some will be for seasoned professionals to work on specific sticking points in their technique, delivery, etc. Some will be for intermediate singers who just want to have fun with other singers, in a non-intimidating climate, honing their voices and craft.</p> <p>Events will include, but will not be limited to:</p> <p>&bull; Fun outings to open-mic events, karaoke nights, jams, and other venues for public singing among peers.</p> <p>&bull; Group vocal lessons, clinics, and workshops, focusing on everything from proper warm-ups, breathing, ear training, resonance and range expansion, to conquering stage fright, song interpretation, audition preparation, vocal improvisation, or even specific &ldquo;sticking points&rdquo; some of us might collectively want to work through together.</p> <p>&bull; Group members&rsquo; gigs/performances: a great way to gain motivation and learn is to support your peers as they perform in their individual projects (artists supporting each other can be invaluable!).</p> <p>Note from the group&rsquo;s moderator:</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been a private vocal instructor for over 15 years now, and a professional singer for most of my life. I love the act and art of singing, and over the years, I&rsquo;ve developed a true fondness and affinity for helping others develop into the singers they want to be. That is why I chose to start this group.</p> <p>THE IMPORTANT THING: I want to hear FROM YOU. What kinds of outings would you be interested in? What are some of your goals as singers? What sorts of techniques and topics would you like to see group lessons, clinics, and workshops cover? Please, send me an email and let's discuss some ideas!</p> <p>This is your group. Let&rsquo;s mold it together into something really cool, and really special; something that helps us all evolve together as singers, performers, and artists, while having fun doing it. (:</p> <p>I look forward to hearing from you all!</p> <p>- Dan Parilis. <br />www.VocalBrilliance.com</p>
10038207 1349713 <p>So sorry everyone =( I just checked and apparently theatres are not showing Earth in 3D this wed =(</p> <p>In spite of this change... who wants to celebrate Earth Day by taking an amazing journey across our planet? ...Earth without 3D.</p> <p>Earth is a spectacular new documentary made by the BBC that follows the lives of three wild animals over a year. Filmed over a 5 year period, it tracks polar bears in the Arctic, elephants in the Kalahari and a humpback whale, through the trials and tribulations of 4 seasons in their lives. The baby polar bears stick their little noses out of their cave into the light and tumble down hills of snow. Forests bloom from snow drops to blue bells to daffodils in an instant. Shot in 200 locations worldwide, the details of wildlife in their habitat are fascinating. Magnificently plumed birds of Paradise do a mating dance in the rain forest of New Guinea and three million caribou flee for their lives with killer wolves in hot pursuit.</p> <p>Please give yourself enough time to purchase a ticket and meet us at the designated area or you can purchase your tix online for the 7:30 PM show at:</p> <p><a href="http://showtimes.disneypictures.com/tw_result.php?Date=042209&amp;ticketFilter=0&amp;HistoryBack=1&amp;WebSiteTrackID=101950&amp;MovieID=64819&amp;State=State&amp;City=City&amp;ZIPCode=10001"><a href="http://showtimes.disn" class="linkified">http://showtimes.disn</a>...</a></p> <p>NYC's Singles Group 20's, 30's, 40's</p> <p>Meet up with:</p> <p>- Fun loving singles<br> - Other single professionals just like you from the NY metro area.<br> - People who enjoy meeting new &amp; interesting individuals like you in a fun, friendly and relaxing environment.</p> <p>Meet other singles near you!

100383432 448750 <p><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/b/e/c/event_196703532.jpeg" /></p> <p>Join us first for a <a href="http://bit.ly/10HtiGU">special lecture</a> by Dr. Benjamin Goldacre about his new book, <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Pharma-Companies-Mislead-Patients/dp/0865478007">Bad Pharma: How Drug Companies Mislead Doctors and Harm Patients</a></i>, and then Dr. Goldacre will be our special guest on a live taping of the <a href="http://bit.ly/cfRq83">Rationally Speaking podcast</a>.</p> <p>------------------</p> <p><i>We like to imagine that medicine is based on evidence and the results of fair tests. In reality, those tests are often profoundly flawed. We like to imagine that doctors are familiar with the research literature about a drug, when in reality much of the research is hidden from them by drug companies. We like to imagine that doctors are impartially educated, when in reality much of their education is funded by the pharmaceutical industry. We like to imagine that regulators let only effective drugs onto the market, when in reality they approve useless drugs, with data on side effects casually withheld from doctors and patients.</i></p> <p><i>All these problems have been shielded from public scrutiny because they’re too complex to capture in a sound bite. But Ben Goldacre shows that the true scale of this murderous disaster fully reveals itself only when the details are untangled. He believes we should all be able to understand precisely how data manipulation works and how research misconduct on a global scale affects us.</i></p> <p><i>With Goldacre’s characteristic flair and a forensic attention to detail, Bad Pharma reveals a shockingly broken system and calls for something to be done. This is the pharmaceutical industry as it has never been seen before.</i></p> <p> </p> <p>This is the official Meetup of <a href="http://nycskeptics.org/" target="_blank">New York City Skeptics</a>, an all-volunteer nonprofit that promotes science and critical thinking.</p> <ul> <li>For more information about us and our other activities visit <a href="http://nycskeptics.org/" target="_blank">www.nycskeptics.org</a>.</li> <li>You may also be interested in our official podcast, <a href="http://www.rationallyspeakingpodcast.org/">Rationally Speaking</a>.</li> <li>We also organize the <a href="http://www.necss.org">Northeast Conference on Science &amp; Skepticism</a> (NECSS).</li> </ul> <p><em>Had enough of astrologers, psychics, homeopaths, and spirit channelers? Yearning to talk with someone rational for awhile? Join us for our mothly discussion on critical thinking, science, and skeptical inquiry.

100383862 3742762 <p>This is a class for beginners to learn how to meditate, and for practitioners who would like to deepen their meditations. Meditation is one of the primary methods for putting space between our responsibilities in the world and our true Selves. It can be done anywhere, at any time and for any length of time. Meditating alone is a great tool in our practice while sitting with a group creates a more powerful dynamic that jumpstarts growth. Our sessions are meant to be informal, non-threatening experiences for those who are new and old to meditating. The key to all practice is the Doing, not the length or method. If you have questions about meditating, or just need a 5 minute break from life, feel free to stop by at any time during the session.</p> <p>We are pleased to announce our winter meetups will be held at the Hindu Samaj Temple of Mahwah. Although we are not religiously affiliated with the temple, we are sincerely grateful for their willingness to sponsor our meetings.</p> <p>As a gesture of goodwill, we suggest an $8-10 tax deductible donation to the temple. Donations and fees are never required for participation.</p> <p>This group provides the supportive social component of living a spiritual life in a material world. Creating Space is about making time for what you have found to be more important than earning a living and enjoying the fruit of your labor. It is about that part of your life that keeps begging to be acknowledged -- <em>did you meditate today? Did you pray? When was the last time you healed yourself or somebody else? Are you comfortable with doing a little more?</em> <span>This group gives you the chance to Create Space for the call of your Soul to express itself within the time you've been awarded.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span>We offer weekly and monthly meditation sessions and monthly discussion groups -- all designed to provide the experience of connecting with spiritually minded individuals. We may not share the same beliefs, backgrounds, or traditions but our respect for the Spirit behind all of these things allows us to share openly with one another.</span></p> <p><span><span style="font-size : small"><em>*All of our gatherings are offered on a donation basis. There is no requested fee to attend spiritual chats or meditations in the park. Workshops and more formal events will be presented with a suggested offering in the individual descriptions of those activities. <span style="text-decoration : underline">Monetary payment is NEVER a boundary to attendance.</span></em></span><br> </span></p>

In reality, those tests are often profoundly flawed. We like to imagine that doctors are familiar with the research literature about a drug, when in reality much of the research is hidden from them by drug companies. We like to imagine that doctors are impartially educated, when in reality much of their education is funded by the pharmaceutical industry. We like to imagine that regulators let only effective drugs onto the market, when in reality they approve useless drugs, with data on side effects casually withheld from doctors and patients.</i></p> <p><i>All these problems have been shielded from public scrutiny because they’re too complex to capture in a sound bite. But Ben Goldacre shows that the true scale of this murderous disaster fully reveals itself only when the details are untangled. He believes we should all be able to understand precisely how data manipulation works and how research misconduct on a global scale affects us.</i></p> <p><i>With Goldacre’s characteristic flair and a forensic attention to detail, Bad Pharma reveals a shockingly broken system and calls for something to be done. This is the pharmaceutical industry as it has never been seen before.</i></p> <p><i><br/></i>  </p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/3/f/c/event_279249212.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left">Calling all Atheists, Agnostics, FreeThinkers, Humanists, Secularists, Brights, Skeptics, Philosophers, and those who are questioning religion.<br> <br> Gotham Atheists is about secular, science, and social human interactions.<br> Being secular in your approach to life, science minded in your decision making and know we are social humans for a kind, easy going, and helpful group that you want to belong to.<br> <br> With your effort in joining Gotham Atheists you can say your helping push society a little more to a secular world.

Many have reported miraculous results. It is administered fully clothed by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki is amazingly simple technique to learn,  While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki.</p> <p>I've never done Reiki before, should I come?<br/>Absolutely! We will begin with Reiki I on the first day of the retreat so everyone will be able to practice reiki on themselves and others for the duration of the retreat.</p> <p>I already have Reiki I and/or II, why would I want to take them over?<br/>Each time we receive a Reiki Attunement we open our chakras even deeper than the same level previously attained. Each Reiki Class is also unique to the participants, so even if you have taken your Reiki Training before your experience will be different. During our time together we will be including techniques and healing with the energy of the Ocean.</p> <p>I'm a Reiki Master or beyond, what would this Retreat offer me?<br/>An opportunity to relax, rejuvenate, see what other healers are doing, network, and learn new techniques.</p> <p>What if I can't stay the whole weekend?<br/>The Reiki Training is from 6-10 Friday evening, 9-12 &amp; 3 -7 on Saturday, and 9-12 on Sunday. This is the 14 hours needed for certification.</p> <p>Requirement for Certification will also include 10 Reiki sessions on family and friends with write ups and 2 online webinars to go over business modules and answer additional questions within 3 months after class. I will try to schedule them to accommodate everyone. If you are not available to attend any of the webnairs you can schedule private phone consultations for an additional fee of $25.00.</p> <p> </p> <p>The NY Reiki &amp; Aromatherapy Meet-up group and Reiki Master/Teacher/Aromatherapist, Barbara Fenton welcomes anyone who is interested in the Healing Art of Reiki and Aromatherapy who would like to be part of a warm friendly circle which includes Reiki practitioners, all levels, all schools, who have an interest in Reiki and Aromatherapy.

100389192 1673341 <p>Interested in speed dating on a Saturday evening?</p> <p>This event Saturday is for men and women at M1-5</p> <p>At present we need men (and only men) aged 35 to 45 although there's a little flexibility in the age range.</p> <p>Also don't worry if only a few people sign up on the Meetup as people will be attending from different sources.</p> <p>Grab friends and come along to M1-5 to meet other energetic NYC singles, and pick out those you feel a connection with and would like to meet again.<br/>This promises to be a lot of fun, so you're highly encouraged to come down.<br/>To get your spot, you must RSVP on the MeetUp site AND please also e-mail me directly at <a href="mailto:[masked]">[masked]</a> to say you want to come. As this is a speed-dating event, and the balance of men and women is very important, I will need to correspond with you briefly by e-mail to confirm your attendance. If you're looking for more details about this event, please visit the New York EasyDates website.<br/>Hope you can make it!<br/>regards,</p> <p>Daniel</p> <p>Speed-dating can be expensive. The entry price alone is around $35 to $40, and then you have the drinks and transportation... This would all be fine if you felt pretty sure you were going to meet your one-and-only that night, but often you simply need to go a few times to come across the person that's right for you.</p> <p>Don't get us wrong - we're huge fans of speed-dating. We think it way better than online dating, as you can not beat a quick face-to-face encounter to establish if the chemistry is right. We'd just like to make it a little cheaper, especially in times when we're all being conscious about what we spend our money on. And remember, the product is actually you, and the other 30 fabulous NYC singles attending - why should we pay $40 for that.</p> <p>Our aim is simple - we want to inform our members of cheap or free spots at speed-dating events, and/or ensure that you're enjoying a free or inexpensive drink or appetizers while you there.</p> <p>This is not as hard as you might think. Unlike other singles events, speed-dating companies must almost exactly balance the number of men and women attending. It's not uncommon(for example) for a speed-dating company to be short eight women aged 28-37 the night before the event. They contact us, we shoot for free or maximum $10 spots, and everyone is happy.</p> <p>Now, here's the catch. We need you to play your part - in other words, if you rsvp to say you want to come, then you do need to show up. And at the event, as many of the participants will have paid full price, then to avoid any grumpiness, we would ask that you don't share your discounted or free rate.</p> <p>So if you're someone who is single and looking to date, is budget conscious, and can be a little flexible and spontaneous when offers come your way, then this Meetup group is for you! And there is no downside to joining - we'll simply inform you of free or cheap spots, and if you want to come, you rsvp. We will then contact you to let you know if you have a spot (i.e., you don't have a spot just by RSVPing here, you have a spot once you register with a free or discount code on the speed-dating site).</p> <p>Looking forward to helping you get dates!</p> <p>Jen</p>

On the 40th anniversary of its release, the Schomburg Center and Museum of the Moving Image team up to present this special screening with director Robert Downey and star Antonio Fargas in person. Warrington Hudlin, the noted film producer and film curator, will host the program and moderate the post-screening discussion.</p> <p>This cutting-edge cult film classic pushed the envelope in ways that still resonate today. In the film, the head of a struggling New York ad agency drops dead during a meeting of executives. Through a tangled voting process, the agency's token black man, Putney Swope, wins the election to head the company. Swope tells the board meeting "The changes I'm going to make will be minimal. I'm not gonna rock the boat. Rockin' the boat's a drag. What you do is sink the boat!” Cut to the next scene and all the white faces are gone from the agency, and its name is now "Truth and Soul, Inc."</p> <p>Free admission. First-come, first-served.</p> <p>Putney Swope is a 1969 film written and directed by Robert Downey Sr. and starring Arnold Johnson as Swope. The comedy by a white writer / director satirizes, criticizes and plays with black militant rhetoric, the portrayal of race in Hollywood films, the white power structure, and nature of corruption in any struggle for power.</p> <p>Putney Swope is the only black man on the executive board of an advertising firm, and is accidentally put in charge after the death of the chairman of the board. Following the unexpected death of the chairman, each member of the board believes that he, himself, should be elected to the board. However, the bylaws of the corporation prohibit voting for oneself for the chair, so each individual member votes in a secret ballot for the person that no one else would vote for: Putney Swope.</p> <p>Renaming the business "Truth and Soul, Inc.", Swope replaces all but one of the white employees and insists they no longer accept business from companies that produce alcohol, war toys, or tobacco.

10039580 1337582 <p>We wil be at DJERDAN, a Bosnian restaurant recommended by Alma. It is a nice place that serves food, so plan on ordering and paying for something off the menu.</p> <p>I checked it out on Tuesday night, around 7 pm. It was quiet. We will be in the back, and can arrange the seating to best view Annemijn's film.</p> <p>One concern from last time was hearing the movie using the built-in speakers on a Mac. So, if someone could bring external speakers, it might make hearing the movie easier.</p> <p>This is our regular meeting. We will be further organizing the film series, working on goals, and learning more about this frightfully important topic.</p> <p>Looking forward to meeting you there, in person.</p> <p>Steven</p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong><span style="font-size : medium">WHY FIGHT?... for 27 MILLION REASONS!</span></strong></p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong><span style="font-size : medium"><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/e/f/e/event_65200702.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px"></span></strong></p> <p style="text-align : center"><em><span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong><span>"Freedom is not a gift from heaven... we must fight for it every day!" ~</span> Simon Wiesenthal</strong></span></em></p> <p><strong>Few people in the developed nations have a grasp of the magnitude of human trafficking.</strong> Fewer still take action.

100396092 784190 <p>The 2013 Conference, “Introducing the Real Latin America,” will invite conference participants to challenge the traditional notions of what defines Latin America, urging them to look beyond buzzwords associated with Latin America and gain an understanding of what really drives the region. This conference will focus on important business concepts, including the role of family businesses, how the regional economy is moving from a raw material, extractive model to a more value-added and service-driven model, and the development of e-commerce in the region.</p> <p>The Conference will take place at the James L. Allen Center in Evanston, Illinois on Saturday, March 2, 2013.</p> <p>Register online at:<br/><a href="http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/labConference/" class="linkified">http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/labConference/</a></p> <p>Bienvenidos!</p> <p>Welcome to the Chicago Hispanic Professionals Meetup Group!</p> <p>Are you looking to network with other professional Latinos within the city? <br />Chicago HPMG is looking for members that are interested in networking through fun, unique, social events that'll help unite the Hispanic community.

10039715 1171519 <p><b>MY MOVIE PICK is:<br/></b><br/><b>SUNSHINE CLEANING</b><br/>Rated (R) • 1 hr. 42 min..<br/>2: 20 PM showtime</p> <p><b>MY REASONING?</b><br/>It seems like a fun, uplifting movie. It got pretty good reviews. The actresses are supposed to have a lot of chemistry. Alan Arkin. And it's directed by a woman, which I do like to support! PLUS, I just feel like seeing a movie. (By the way, I went on a very last minute solo trip this past Sunday to see Everlasting Moments, which was good but a bit of a snoozer.)</p> <p><b>SYNOPSIS:</b><br/>Once the high school cheerleading captain who dated the quarterback, Rose Lorkowski now finds herself a 30-something single mother working as a maid. Her sister Norah is still living at home with their dad Joe, a salesman with a lifelong history of ill-fated get rich quick schemes. Desperate to get her son into a better school, Rose persuades Norah to go into the crime scene clean-up business with her to make some quick cash. In no time, the girls are up to their elbows in murders, suicides and other specialized situations. As they climb the ranks in a very dirty job, the sisters find a true respect for one another and the closeness they have always craved finally blossoms. By building their own improbable business, Rose and Norah open the door to the joys and challenges of being there for one another--no matter what--while creating a brighter future for the entire Lorkowski family.</p> <p><b>NEW!!! CHIPPING IN:</b><br/>In order to help with my costs and time as the organizer, I ask that you just chip in a dollar or two when we pay up at the restaurant to cover my dinner (and maybe even the movie!) Thanks!</p> <p><b>PLEASE RSVP</b><br/>... if you're coming so I can get a good head count for our restaurant reservations. ALSO, I am trying to impress the theatre into offering us a group discount in the future.</p> <p><b>ONLINE TICKETING:</b><br/>If you want to BUY YOUR TICKETS ONLINE to ensure admittance, you must go to www.movietickets.com - this is the only online service the Clairidge uses!</p> <p><b>SAY HI!</b><br/>We try to meet right there in the lobby ... just look for me or a small group of people - just come up and say "Hi", don't be shy. Let me know you showed up - I LOVE to meet everyone in person!</p> <p><b>CINEMA CHATTER:</b><br/>Libation &amp; conversation continues afterward. We meet afterward to discuss the film at Leone's, a big, unpretentious Italian restaurant right around the corner from the Clairidge. It's been fun and the food &amp; service is really good (you can order your own meal on a separate check or go in on some pizzas with a few people - your choice!) They have a large menu of entrees and salads that can accommodate vegetarians, vegans and dieters. We make a big square table out of all the small tables and it works pretty well for group conversation. They do sell wine there but it's also a BYOB place, so if you have your own - bring it along!</p> <p>Leone's is on South Park Street between Bloomfield Avenue &amp; Church Street. Just EXIT from the Church Street door, hang a right on Church - at the end of that block hang another right and it's about halfway down on South Park Street. The entrance looks like a Pizza Parlor but it's really huge inside. VERY Italian.</p> <p>Please DO come - talking about the films is half the fun!</p> <p><b>RUNNING LATE?</b><br/>We all try to be there on time but if for any reason you're running late (or I am) ... just GO IN. We don't always sit together since everyone has their own viewing preferences but we meet up in the lobby afterward to walk to the restaurant!)</p> <p><b>DIFFERENT FLICK?</b><br/>As we've been doing in the past, if you'd rather see something else, it's too confusing trying to set that up here so just show up early and see if anyone there wants to see a different movie then.</p> <p>Hope to see you then!!</p> <p>Francesca</p> <p style="text-align : center"><span style="text-align : justify ; font-size : 16px">Hook up with other arthouse film kindred spirits</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="text-align : justify">Discover cool local indie films hot off the presses.</span></li> <li><span style="text-align : justify">Promote YOUR film to NJ/NY movie-lovers</span></li> <li><span style="text-align : justify">Explore the idea of making your own videos.</span></li> <li style="text-align : justify">Take or offer film-study or film-craft workshops &amp; seminars</li> <li style="text-align : justify">Find film acting, writing or directing coach services</li> </ul> <p style="text-align : center"><strong><a href="http://meetup.com/nyindiefilm">Join the NY Indie Film Group at http://meetup.com/nyindiefilm</a></strong><a href="http://meetup.com/nyindiefilm"></a></p>

Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

10039837 1171519 <p>I also have another meetup group called <b>The CineSalon</b> and we're going to be meeting at this show on Saturday night, so I thought I'd invite you folks as well, since it's an opportunity we don't get at the Clairidge.</p> <p>We'll meet out front at 7:45 pm and go in. The show starts at 8 pm. Don't worry if you're running late or can't find us (not sure if there'll be a big crowd or not) - just look for me and the group afterward in front of the theater. We'll all go out for coffee and chat about the show and upcoming CineSalon workshops and events.</p> <p>Here's how they describe "The World's Best Short Films" ...</p> <p>"A 2 hour evening of the world's most entertaining short films combined with live music! Asbury Shorts, New York City’s longest running exhibition of award winning, independent short films, brings “An Evening of the World’s Best Short Films” to the historic and beautiful Union County Performing Arts Center. Don’t miss this exhibition of international award winning short films from the past 12 years! “Best of Sundance!” “Best of Tribeca!” “Best of London!”</p> <p>The fast-paced program will feature two short films by Jason Reitman; Oscar Nominee in 2008 for directing the mega hit feature film “JUNO.” Special Guest Host will be actor Vinnie Vella who has appeared in “The Sopranos,” “Casino,” “Analyze That” and “Ghost Dog.”</p> <p>It's sole purpose is to give the public an opportunity to see award-winning shorts in a theatrical setting on the big screen...not a computer or iPod."</p> <p>Now, I have to say, the term "World's Best" is very subjective and I've found many really wonderful shorts that never made it into Sundance or Tribeca for a variety of reasons. But, let's see what they've got for us! $15 is a great price for 2 hours of entertainment and the films will give us plenty to talk about later.</p> <p>You can buy your tickets ahead of time or at the door (as I will) so I hope to see you there!</p> <p>Francesca</p> <p style="text-align : center"><span style="text-align : justify ; font-size : 16px">Hook up with other arthouse film kindred spirits</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="text-align : justify">Discover cool local indie films hot off the presses.</span></li> <li><span style="text-align : justify">Promote YOUR film to NJ/NY movie-lovers</span></li> <li><span style="text-align : justify">Explore the idea of making your own videos.</span></li> <li style="text-align : justify">Take or offer film-study or film-craft workshops &amp; seminars</li> <li style="text-align : justify">Find film acting, writing or directing coach services</li> </ul> <p style="text-align : center"><strong><a href="http://meetup.com/nyindiefilm">Join the NY Indie Film Group at http://meetup.com/nyindiefilm</a></strong><a href="http://meetup.com/nyindiefilm"></a></p>

10040225 1187853 <p>Our first road rave of the year will be a Riot!!! Well, I'm sure it will be but what we mean by that is the route we are taking. This Chicago city tour on blades will take us back in history to locations where big Chicago Riots took place. Stops will include the Haymarket Square Riot (1886), Democratic National Convention Riots (1968) and Race Riots (1919). Thanks to Tom for mapping this out!</p> <p>This will be a shorter route than normal, about 9 Miles, and this time there will be a water stop. This will be an easy one. Don't get intimidated by 9 Miles, it feels a lot shorter when you skate with a fun group and have people to talk to while you skate.</p> <p>Keep in mind that this event is organized by National Skate Patrol. That means BRING A HELMET!!, they are serious about that (bike helmet, hockey helmet or skateboard helmets are fine). Stay with the group , don't run red lights and don't skate faster than Tom (nobody really can anyway =) )</p> <p>We'll take off from the rusty baboon at the <b>Daley Center</b> ( Clark and Washington ) at 7:30PM and end at the <b>All Star Sports Bar &amp; Grill</b> on 555 W. Madison. They do let us in with skates and it is close to the Metra and CTA. If you drive, there is a garage on Kinzie and Wells that has a decent rate in the evening and usually a bunch of skaters park there and skate back there after the bar.</p> <p><b>Skate at your own risk.</b> Helmets are required for all Skate Patrol events!!<br/>Wrist guards, knee &amp; elbow pads suggested. Bring water. Be prepared to skate 9 miles, stop, turn, go over curbs, potholes, RR tracks, etc.<br/>Be comfortable in traffic and have a great time.</p> <p>Windy City Skaters is a group open to anyone who likes to move around on wheels.

10040755 403763 (null) <p>The NYC Barn Dance was created by David Harvey in October 2006 as a monthly event designed to give New Yorkers an opportunity to experience - through dance - the traditional Anglo-Irish-Scottish dance music being played in the city and elsewhere. This experience stands in stark contrast to how this music is often experienced in NYC: at spaces where dancing is difficult or prohibited. Solid turnout and strong reviews by attendees and musicians have all served as proof that the event is a welcome and valuable addition to the New York City social landscape. The Barn Dance is a fully participatory, traditional, social dance event, and attendees are invited to participate as dancers regardless of experience.</p> <p>The dances we do are old-time squares from southern Appalachia.  People are friendly here and are willing to dance with each other, so there's no harm in coming alone.  We make sure that everyone who wants to get out on the floor does so the whole night long!</p> <p>You should also know that we teach and walk-through all dances.  The teaching is efficient because we all want to get on to the dancing!  This event is a dance party, not a dance class!</p> <p>Come join us for a night of lively dancing to live music!</p> <p> </p> <p>Yours,</p> <p>Dave Harvey</p> <p>Event Organizer</p> <p> </p>

10040809 232540 <p>If you would like to join by phone, please type "by phone" with your rsvp.</p> <p>Verse 15-56</p> <p> And who-other than the one who is misguided-can abandon hope of his Lord’s mercy</p> <p> All of us have situations in life where we face daunting obstacles. You or someone you love can be severely ill, your career can collapse, or you can be badly hurt by people you love. It is logical to feel hopeless because all the discouraging evidence is there. This verse points out that this is a misguided attitude; it is forgetting God’s benevolence and favor which are always present. Difficulties can be resolved in unexpected ways. Our meeting will focus on learning practical ways by which hope can be maintained in difficult circumstances.</p> We discuss the Quran in an open minded and interactive manner to seek interpretations that are spiritually uplifting and facilitate personal growth.

The year is 1902, in the home of several Gullah people, descendants of African captives who escaped the slave trade to live on islands off the coast of South Carolina and Georgia. Here, members of the Peazant family are on the verge of a planned migration to the U.S. mainland, where American modernity seems to offer "the good life"....</p> <p>Here's a link to the Museum of the Moving Image site for the whole series called: L.A.

10040887 1299276 <p>Green-Wood Cemetery, a designated "National Historic Landmark" of New York City, is the largest and among the most influential of early American rural cemeteries, carefully sited with dramatic views of the city and harbor below. Established in 1838, Green-Wood has the most extensive and intact landscape created following the principles of Andrew Jackson Downing, the most prominent landscape architect of the antebellum period. It is outstanding for its cohesive, picturesque character, integrated Gothic Revival architecture, and high integrity.</p> <p>On May 16 and 17, the cemetery is hosting "A Celebration of Spring for All Ages". Giant puppets will guide visitors through Green-Wood.</p> <p>"Imagine the beauty and whimsy of 20-foot tall puppets guiding you through Green-Wood. Even if you've visited before, you've never seen Green-Wood like this! This world-premier, complete with musicians and wonder, will be the meeting of historic tour and interactive theatre. You won't want to miss the eye-popping finale ... a touching and humorous finale on Battle Hill. This event is co-produced by The Puppeteer's Cooperative, an artist's collective who have staged bigger-than-life outdoor performances throughout the United States for the past 25 years."</p> <p>We are going to see the second show on<b> May 16 from 3.00 to 5.30 p.m.</b> General admission for adults is $10 ($11.24 including service fee).</p> <p>To attend, you have to <b>purchase your ticket</b> online at<br/><a href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/53729"><a href="http://www.brownpaper" class="linkified">http://www.brownpaper</a>...</a><br/>(make sure to select the 3pm event on May 16th!)</p> <p>Or you can buy your ticket by phone: Call the 24/7 Ticket Hotline and reserve your ticket at[masked]-3006.</p> <p>Reservations are strongly encouraged!</p> <p><b>Please indicate in your RSVP that you have bought your ticket.</b></p> <p>We will meet at 2.30 p.m. at the ticket table near the main entrance, the Arch, located at 5th Avenue and 25th Street in Brooklyn.

Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!
100408972 1736095 <p>In PRANIC HEALING® Level 1, you learn the basics of working with your energy aura, including learning to "scan," or feel the energy, to "sweep," or clean away congested energy, and to "energize," or supplement areas in your aura that have a pranic deficiency. You begin by learning to activate the energy centers, or "chakras," in the center of your hands. This enables you to become sensitive to prana and scan a person's - or your own - energy field to identify blockages and then cleanse, energize and revitalize the area with new prana.</p> <p>PRANIC HEALING® has been taught to doctors, nurses, massage<br/>therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, shiatsu practitioners, and many others in the healing field. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible.These professionals find PRANIC HEALING® very effective and easy to<br/>apply.</p> <p>Here are some of the other topics covered in PRANIC HEALING® Level 1:</p> <p><b>Energetic anatomy</b>: You will learn to work with the network of charkas, meridians and auras to accelerate the healing processes of your body.</p> <p><b>Preventive healing</b>: You will learn to remove the negative energetic patterns of a disease to prevent it from fully manifesting as a physical ailment.</p> <p><b>Self-Pranic healing</b>: You will learn to apply these healing techniques to accelerate your own healing.</p> <p><b>Step-by-step techniques</b> for ailments related to your:</p> <p>respiratory system, e.g., asthma circulatory system, e.g., heart ailments gastrointestinal system, e.g., irritable bowel syndrome musculoskeletal system, e.g., arthritis and back pain reproductive system, e.g., menstrual problems You'll also learn remedies for such common problems as migraines and sinusitis. Additionally, you'll learn to apply distant healing to loved ones who are not present in the room with you.</p> <p>All PRANIC HEALING® courses are "experiential," which means that you learn by actually performing the techniques and exercises in class - on yourself and those around you. During class, all the principles will<br/>be explained thoroughly and you will practice the techniques exhaustively so you will be confident in your ability to produce positive results when you finish the course. PRANIC HEALING® Level 1 is<br/>a prerequisite to all other courses.</p> <p> </p> <p><span>Pranic Healing</span>® <span>is a simple yet powerful and effective system of no-touch energy healing originated and developed by GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui. It is based on the fundamental principle that the body is a</span> <em>self-repairing</em> <span>living entity that possesses the innate ability to heal itself. However</span> <span>the healing process is accelerated by increasing</span> <span>the life force or vital energy on the affected part of the physical body.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span>If you are interested in exploring Pranic Healing for you or for your loved ones, please visit a </span>Free Pranic Healing Clinics, Free Meditation Nights, Free Introductory Lectures or Weekend Pranic Healing Workshops.</p> <p><span><span><br> </span></span></p> <p><span>Go to <strong>http://www.pranichealing.com/</strong> to get more information or watch videos on Pranic Healing.</span></p> <span><br> </span> <p><span>See you soon,</span> <span>Prabhu</span></p>
10040900 1373242 <p>Dominique and I were discussing the idea of going to see KOOZA on Randall's Island. The show runs between April 16th - May 24th 2009. If you are interested in going, what dates would work for you? Once we have a definite number we can finalize the date.</p> <p>KOOZA tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world.</p> <p>KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil: It combines two circus traditions – acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a colorful mélange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor.</p> <p>&lt;a href="http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/CirqueDuSoleil/en/showstickets/kooza/tickets/newyork.htm" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</p> <p style="text-align : justify"><span style="color : #444444 ; font-size : medium">A group for intelligent girls (women?) to connect and make plans.</span> <strong style="color : #444444 ; font-size : medium">This meetup is run as a group effort</strong> <span style="color : #444444 ; font-size : medium">- we look to our members to share the opportunity (and burden) of planning events.</span></p> <p style="text-align : justify"><span style="color : #444444 ; font-size : medium">As our calendar of past meetups shows - we are interested in all types of cultural events: from classic movies, live music, theatre and dance to museums, book signings, walking tours and lectures.

10040973 1342946 <p><b>Day change to the GWB walk.<br/>It's supposed to be rainy and 50 degrees on Sunday, and sunny and 70 degrees on Saturday, so<br/>I'm changing the walk to <i>Saturday</i>.</b></p> <p>A Spring walk in our neighbor, New Jersey!</p> <p>George Washington Bridge and Palisades/Long Path Walk</p> <p>Saturday, April 18, 2009 at 12:30pm.</p> <p>The weather gods owe me, so hopefully it'll be a nice day! but you know how April in New York<br/>can be... :) <i>**Well, the weather gods came through, just on the wrong day!**</i></p> <p>Meet at the corner of 178th St. and Fort Washington Ave. (A train to 175th St., or Ft. Washington Shuttle Bus to 175th St.)</p> <p>An easy walk across the George Washington Bridge and up the Palisades on the Long Path.</p> <p>This will be a round trip walk, maybe 3 hours.</p> <p>We'll start out at 178th St. and Fort Washington Ave. and walk over the George Washington Bridge. It's actually a great walk with amazing views of the city and Jersey. The walkway is wide, and there are heavy railings on both sides of you. If you've never done the walk, and are a little apprehensive because of the heights, please email me (Peter) I can send a few photos that will give an idea of what it's like to walk across.</p> <p>Once over the Bridge we'll turn north and head up the Long Path. The Long Path is a hiking trail which begins right near the GWB in Fort Lee Historic Park, and heads 350 miles north to Albany.<br/>We'll walk about 2 miles north to Allison Park, stop for lunch and then head back. (The walk to Allison Park is fairly short - the distance is like walking from the GWB to the Cloisters)</p> <p>The walk takes us on the Long Path, through woods in New Jersey along an easy trail. It's easy walking, no hills and just some stairs at the beginning. Running shoes are fine, I'd not recommend open sandals however.</p> <p>It's a great trail through the woods, with occasional views out on the Hudson along the trail. Lots of birds and chipmunks, and maybe a glimpse of a red-tailed hawk or an osprey flying over the Hudson.</p> <p>We'll stop for lunch at Allison Park (bathrooms, water fountains). At the Park there are great views of the Hudson, the Bridge, the Heights and Inwood across the River.</p> <p>After lunch we'll head back down the Long Path and back over the GWB. You can catch the A at 175th St, or the infernal shuttle bus if it's running that weekend.</p> <p>Dress for the weather - layers are good if it's cool out. Sunscreen (if it's sunny), a hat, a bottle of water and lunch. Part of the Long Path parallels the Palisades Parkway, so at one point you can leave the trail and stop at a Sunoco station to pick up another bottle of water or snacks if you like.</p> <p>**high wind or bad weather will cancel the hike.

NoMO is both a social group for northern Manhattanites and others to get together in a relaxed venue and an 'outdoors' group, for all New Yorkers who enjoy hiking, birdwatching, stargazing, kayaking, especially in and around northern Manhattan.<br> Many of the activities are designed to bring together northern Manhattan, New Jersey and Bronx neighbors to enjoy the parks and trails up here in Washington Heights, Inwood, the Bronx and Jersey. Other activities may include day hikes upstate in Harriman or Bear Mt. Park, a bald eagle watch on the Hudson in Manhattan, hiking in Cold Spring, bird watching, coyote watching in Central Park, excursions to Wave Hill, the Bronx Zoo, the Bronx Botanical Gardens or the Brooklyn Gardens (Hanami in the Spring!).</p> <p>Both the area and the community of upper Manhattan are the main focus of this group, however all are most welcome!</p>

100413592 3939112 <p>Hello all,</p> <p>A few people have commented to me this week that they would like to drink pale ale and a few would like to visit Heidenpeter's as they missed our visit (and friendly tour of the brewery, given by Johannes) in December.</p> <p>Therefore, this coming Friday, 25th January, we will visit Heidenpeter's in Markthalle 9. There are limiting opening hours, so come at 19:00, to ensure that you can try all three freshly brewed ales on tap:</p> <p>- Pale Ale</p> <p>- India Pale Ale</p> <p>- Brown Ale with mint</p> <p> </p> <p>Do to the size of the venue, we have to limit the meetup size to 25 people max.</p> <p>As usual, please only RSVP 'Yes' if you actually intend to come.</p> <p>Hope to see you then,</p> <p>/Rory</p> <p>This group was founded in May 2012 and is open to anyone who is genuinely interested in the art of beer brewing and beers crafted to taste good, rather than to sell to the widest audience. The focus of this group is to promote beers brewed by microbreweries, rather than on large, mass-market beers brewed by large-scale industrial breweries.</p> <p> </p> <p>Berlin Craft Beer also has a blog that you can follow at: http://www.berlincraftbeer.com</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The purpose of this Meetup group will be to:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Taste beers from microbreweries of Berlin &amp; Germany</li> <li>Have beer tastings at other craft beer venues around Berlin</li> <li>Allow members to swap their favourite bottled beers, perhaps from abroad</li> <li>Visit craft beer festivals as a group</li> </ol> <p> </p> <p><span style="color : #ff0000"><strong>Please note</strong>: Since there are several Berlin meetup groups already with a specific focus on going out / drinking / socialising, it should be noted that the focus of this group is craft beer and brewing, so beer will always be the center of attention, rather than socialising.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color : #ff0000">When applying please take the time to answer the questions.</span></p> <p> </p>

100413742 3399292 <p>The Rockets are coming to Brooklyn! During some conversations at recent beer club events, there seemed to be a desire to have a Barclay’s Center meetup, so after doing some checking of my calendar, looking at Stubhub and other ticket sites, I decided to pull the trigger and set this up so we could have some quality beer while watching the Nets. They’ve been pretty hot lately so let’s hope they keep it up!</p> <p>This is a Friday night game so if the game is over early, there would be opportunities to visit some nearby places such as Die Koelner Bierhalle after the game.</p> <p>The tickets have already been purchased so there will not be a waiting list for this event. Additionally, since the tickets have been paid for, when you RSVP you’ll have to be able to send me a PayPal payment at the time of RSVP. If you have to change your RSVP at the last minute, refunds are not guaranteed unless I can get someone else to buy the ticket.</p> <p>Seats are in section 207, upper sideline, row 18. Price (including all the stupid fees and charges) is $98.25 each.</p> <p>The Barclay’s Center is supposed to be pretty nice and they serve a lot of Brooklyn-source food and beverages. Additionally, the arena sits on top of a transit hub that serves 11 different subway lines as well as the LIRR.</p> <p><a href="http://www.barclayscenter.com/getting-here/public-transportation" class="linkified">http://www.barclayscenter.com/getting-here/public-transportation</a></p> <p>I will be receiving the tickets electronically so I will be able to email them to you and you can print them out so you’ll have them prior to the game.</p> <p><br/>Again, <b>payment of $98.25 is required to RSVP</b> so if you’re not sure you can go, you might want to think twice before replying “yes”.</p> <p>This should be a great time.</p> <p>Let’s go Nets!</p> <p>Do you like craft beers? Do you enjoy hanging out with other people who enjoy craft beers? Want to learn more about beer?  Then you're in the right place.</p> <p>The purpose of this group is to provide an opportunity for gay folks to get together to drink beer and have fellowship with other like-minded individuals. A lot of bars that cater to the gay market don't have the best beer selection so we can use this opportunity to take the gays to the bars that have the best beers!</p> <p>Beer Club is an inclusive group, encouraging members to “come as you are”. We encourage and seek diversity and want everyone who attends to feel welcome.  In addition to creating a fun environment to meet new friends, we also have a focus on education and try to provide opportunities to learn about beer from brewers, distributors and bar owners.</p> <p> </p>

Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

10041710 936773 <p>Dear Buddhism &amp; Happiness members,</p> <p>Our meeting on Thursday, May 28 will be on the topic of exploring the numerous Buddhist themes that form the underpinnings of the first Matrix movie. If you've never seen it or haven't seen it recently, it is certainly worth seeing again before our meeting, particularly with a Buddhist perspective in mind. I've personally found the movie an invaluable way to begin to crystallize many very abstract notions from Buddhist Dharma. I hope that we can share our thoughts and reactions in a way to expand our notion of how these themes can be applied to our daily lives in a way that helps us see through illusion, and to better appreciate what is then revealed.</p> <p><br/><b>How to Get a Spot for this Event</b><br/>We have 15 spots for this event. If there is a lot of interest, we might decide to rent a quiet room and open the event to 20 people.<br/>If the RSVP list is full, you can get on the waiting list. If a spot opens up for you, you will be automatically changed to Yes.<br/>If you'd like to come, please RSVP with Yes.<br/>Maybe RSVP's are for temporary use only and are only acceptable as long as there is no waiting list. Therefore, when a waiting list starts to form, I remove Maybe RSVPs. If that happens to you, feel free to get on the waiting list.<br/>If your RSVP is Yes at the day of the event, you should come.<br/>If you can't make it, change your RSVP to No.<br/>Not showing up when your RSVP is Yes is called "being a no-show" and this is not nice. (After the third no-show, members are removed from the group and banned from rejoining.)</p> <p><br/><b>Cost</b></p> <p>If we meet at a location that does not involve a rental fee, then you should purchase a drink or food to support the venue and spend at least $5. So, either way, you should budget at least 5 dollars for this event.</p> <p><br/><b>Location, Time, and Duration</b></p> <p>The event starts at 7:15 and it would be nice if you could arrive at that time or shortly thereafter so we can start the discussion at 7:30. We will finish between 9:30 and 10pm.</p> <p> I hope you can join the conversation,</p> <p>Bob</p> <p>Welcome!</p> <p>This is a discussion group about Buddhism.</p> <p>If you are on the path, have some knowledge about Buddhism and meditation, and want to discuss these topics with others, then this group is for you.</p> <p>Our group is not meant to be a Buddhism class or meditation class, however; if you feel that you don't have any knowledge of Buddhism and meditation at all, it would probably be best to read a book and/or listen to a few lectures before joining.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about this group, read the About Us page: <a href="http://buddhism.meetup.com/578/about/" target="_blank"><a href="http://buddhism.meetup.com/578/about/" title="http://buddhism.meetup.com/578/about/" target="_blank">http://buddhism.meetup.com/578/about/</a></a></p> <p>To become a member, please be sure sure to post a photo of yourself and read the About Us page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Peace,</p> <p>Annette, Bob and Craig</p>

10041741 22211 <p>Fun, fun, fun! Games and Wine at Sams Wines!! Think Napa wine train, minus Napa and the train-ha! and 20 degrees colder---------- OK, settle for great games and a little libations available--playing a great card game, called Chicago Google-called that due to the infinite possibilities of play--Scrabble and whatever you care to bring--</p> <p>Come on out and play!!</p> <p>One player sent an E wondering about the rules of Chicago Google, so I thought I would post a lengthy rules/strategy/story thing on the "Goog" and maybe that will help.<br/><b><br/>Chicago Google</b></p> <p>What I love about this card game is that you are not bound by so many rules that pre-determines how play will go. There is enough “choices” to make in each round and in each game that it usually goes down to the last card of the last trick to make the winner. 4 players max per game, but can be played quite enjoyably by 2 or 3!</p> <p><br/>1. High Score wins!</p> <p>2. To get points you simply declare each round how many tricks you will make and make that EXACT number of tricks in that round-There are 26 rounds in the full game starting with a 13 card deal descending to 1 card and then back up to 13 cards-For each round, you can even choose to take 0 tricks and still make points, but you must hit exactly the total number of tricks you said you would make to make any points that round.</p> <p>**The significance of being able to say 0 tricks and make points is a player may have an awesome hand and go for 6 tricks and make 5 or 7 and they get 0 points. You poor neglected one, who got a crap hand, say 0 tricks and as long as you made your number you get 10 points! 10 more points than the person with the awesome hand! This is why this game keeps you engaged, good, bad or medium hand you always have a way to stay in the game.</p> <p>3-Scoring for tricks is like this, anytime you make your number even if it is 0, you get 10 points, so scoring goes like this; the number of tricks squared and add 10 points.</p> <p>0 tricks— 10 points<br/>1 “ 11 “<br/>2 14 “<br/>3 19<br/>4 26<br/>5 35<br/>6 46<br/>7 59<br/>8 74<br/>9 91<br/>10 110<br/>11 131<br/>12 154<br/>13 179</p> <p>The way the game is played;</p> <p>You MUST follow suit of the card that is led if you have one in your hand. You may play a lower<br/>value card or a higher value Card depending on your goal.-----If you are void in the suit that is led,<br/>you MAY play trump or you may Play any other card of your choosing, again depending on if your<br/>goal is to win or lose that trick.</p> <p>If trump is led, and you have trump, you must follow suit, and again you do<br/>Not have to go over.</p> <p>To sum up, you MUST follow suit of card led but do not have to go over<br/>and IF VOID in that suit, You can choose to play Trump or any other card.</p> <p>13 tricks is the max amount of tricks ever available</p> <p>Dealing-First deal is 13 cards to each player (hence a max 4 player game) and then 12 and so on all the way down to 1, where it reverses and goes back up all the way to 13</p> <p>Trump changes each hand.</p> <p>The progression is like this<br/>13-Clubs (an easy way to remember this is that it is always alphabetical, as in C for Clubs first, then D for Diamonds, H for Hearts and S for Spades)</p> <p>12-Diamonds<br/>11-Hearts<br/>10-Spades<br/>9-No trump-all natural point values with Ace being high<br/>8-Clubs<br/>7-Diamonds<br/>6-Hearts<br/>5-Spades<br/>4-No trump<br/>3-Clubs<br/>2-Diamonds<br/>1-Hearts<br/>2-Spades<br/>3-No trump<br/>4-Clubs<br/>5-Diamonds<br/>6-Hearts<br/>7-Spades<br/>8-No trump<br/>9-Clubs<br/>10-Diamonds<br/>11-Hearts<br/>12-Spades<br/>13-No trump</p> <p>End of game-high score wins-no tiebreaker, just 2 winners</p> <p>Other rules of the game.</p> <p>The dealer is the LAST one to say his/her requested amount of tricks, and if<br/>their number MATCHES the total number of available tricks, they MUST<br/>take a different number. For example, 13 trick hand, and player A, B and C<br/>all say 3 tricks, the dealer cannot say 4 because that number will match 13<br/>and in theory all players could win-not necessarily the point of the game-ha!<br/>****However, when we get to 4 tricks and down and then back up to 4<br/>tricks again, we eliminate that rule, because it gets real stupid and everyone<br/>can say how many tricks they want to take regardless.</p> <p><br/>Each full game is about an hour to an hour and a half.</p> <p>The Chicagoland area's premiere and largest gamer group. Events include board games, card games, party games, and more, and are held throughout the city and suburbs in game stores, bars, and other locales. Come join us for a great time.</p>

100419992 1705355 <p>At the end of the last Meetup in Prospect Park, we all talked about hanging out again soon. I suggested the Brooklyn Museum. There was some excitement about it so I thought I'd formally suggest it. It starts at 5pm and goes til around 10pm or so.<br/>Here's more info: <a href="http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/visit/first_saturdays.php" class="linkified">http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/visit/first_saturdays.php</a></p> <p>Seems like there's a ton of cool young LGBT folks in Central Brooklyn, but we always have to commute to the city or Williamsburg to meet each other. But central brooklyn - Park Slope, Boerum Hill, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights, Flatbush - has its own vibe, and some really great places to hang out, and Park Slope is the center of it all. So, why not hang out with each other here?</p> <p>This group is not for random hookups or anything like that - just a bunch of LGBT folks getting together and hanging out, making friends. If something more comes of it, great! However, the group isn't here for people to just randomly hookup.</p> <p>[Also, while I don't want to be the 'age police' or 'card' anyone (I think the 'honor system' works much better), I do think its kinda important that we try to keep this mostly for folks who are in their 20's and 30's, cause sometimes older guys can seem intimidating to younger ones, especially for those just coming out. And I think its important to allow a group for younger folks to serve the needs of that age group. But I recommend starting your own group then, the more the better!]</p>

10042049 1359733 <p>We can ususally get into a rut during the holidays. We see family, we eat with family, we go home. It's pretty much the same during Easter time - and as tradition goes, it's probably the time when people attend church the most (second to Christmas).</p> <p>I really thought it was important to read a book that is close to the "meaning of the month". We celebrate April (Easter) with Jesus' death and resurrection, but in truth IT all happened so that we could have a personal relationship with the Almighty.</p> <p>I thought it would be great to read a book that many have read about meeting with God during the most difficult time of one's life. This is a great book - one to discuss and even to have disagreements about - but when it comes down to it.....what does a relationship with Him mean to you.</p> <p>I hope all will come out and enjoy.</p> <p>Have you ever felt overwhelmed when walking into a bookstore.........seeing all of the books (big books, skinny books, colorful books, etc) and not sure what you would like to pick up. You are not looking for another devotional book, but would like to be wrapped up in a story - a real read that will to nourish the soul with Christ and keep you engaged in hope, love, laughter, adventure, mystery, etc......through the end.</p> <p>Books bring much laughter and self-perspective. Meet book lovers and writers who also see the link that Christian faith has in the all facets of life. Enjoy a faith based discussion with the company of others. We don't intend to replace our time in the WORD with fiction - we enjoy and appreciate how God is everywhere.</p> <p>There are two to three selections of readings through the month, and a social gathering. (Please note that you do note have to read all of the books for the month, unless you would like to :-)) There are also special events that you are welcome to enjoy and hopefully meet with other like-minded groups.</p> <p>Come to laugh, share stories, share God and make new friends!</p>

Among the innovations was the introduction of synthetic raw materials, which appeared in the late nineteenth century. Before then, the creation of scents was limited to only natural ingredients; synthetics transformed artisanal products into works of art.</p> <p><i><b>Meet in the lobby no later than 11:30am.</b> Buy your own entrance (valid all day).

Make the questions fun, silly, thought provoking or even like Miss America-type of questions!</b></p> <p>Here are some sample questions that you can ask your partner :</p> <p>1) If you were given a million dollars, what would you do with it?<br/>2) Would you rather eat pizza your entire life? Or not be able to tell a lie for a year?<br/>3) What kind of comic book character best represents you?<br/>4) Would you rather have the ability to fly? Or have the ability to breath underwater? Why?</p> <p>Steer away from these type of questions :</p> <p>1) What do you do for work?<br/>2) How long have you lived in here?<br/>3) What do you like most about this town?</p> <p>Help us make these events successful by bringing your friends!</p> <p><b>Okay, so I've made a new friend at the event. Follow up with someone I meet at the event? Now what do I do?</p> <p></b>You get partnered with many people at the event. In order to keep the event moving along you should only get contact information from people you meet after the main Speed Friending Event is over. We have a social time right after the main event, which gives you plenty of time to naturally get to know someone.</p> <p>The idea of the Event is that Speed Friending is a Giant Icebreaker for the group. Then afterward we all do something together, usually pool, chat over food, play games, sit around and talk. So after the main event is over, we all move to a separate location and have a social mixer to mingle immediately following the main event. At the mixer everyone openly mingles and exchanges contact information. And if you see someone you like and want to be friends with or get their number, just talk to them and ask for their number simply after the event, just like you would in a party, or bar setting anyway.

Additionally, various supplies have to be prepared by the host before the event for each person expected to attend, since no shows have multiple impacts on making sure the event is successful and that everyone that attends has a great experience each time, if you make a reservation and pre-pay, you have secured a place for which no refund can be offered if you do not let us know about your cancellation in advance.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p> </p> <p>Matt</p> <p><strong>Are YOU Looking to meet new people around town?</strong><br> <strong>Are you new to town?

Sign up and become a member today!</p> <p><strong><br> </strong> <strong>Why meeting people other ways just don't work...</strong></p> <p>If you are looking to meet more people, make new friends, or find a new date, people typically go out to public places like bars, coffee shops, networking parties, public events. Most of these places are filled with people that already know each other. You typically will try to meet someone you don't know and that usually has friends already with them. It can be awkward to get into a conversation just to get a chance of making a new friend or date. In order to meet a new person you often have to have courage to break into groups of people that already know each other. Not so with Speed Friending Events. The organizer gives everyone at the event a multitude of icebreakers so that social anxiety melts away and everyone gets to meet each other.</p> <p>Also, even when you approach and get into a new conversation, you may quickly find you have nothing in common and now you have to figure a way to get out your conversation. With Speed Friending Events, your conversations are short so you can quickly find the people you like the most and have longer conversations with them right there the same night! It's very low pressure and fun!</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>So walk me through the evening...</strong></p> <p>Speed Friending Events<span>, brought to you by</span> <a href="http://www.speedfriendingevents.com/">www.SpeedFriendingEvents.com</a> <span>,</span> is where you get lots of people in a room, and you each have around two minutes to ask each person you are paired with questions. There are rules to this kind of event of course to keep things lively and fun. You will meet most everyone at each event. It is a great fun new way to make lots of new friends quickly.</p> <p>At the end, you can choose to socialize afterwards, exchange contact information, hang out, and do things afterwards. Its a super fast way to meet people and it's entirely possible that you form lasting friendships at these events. There's nothing like it. Within 1 event which lasts about an hour and a half, you will have met almost everyone in the group which is usually 20-60 people. What you do with your time after your Social Speed Friending experience is up to you, but most people hang out, chat, exchange numbers, and form friendships. Join us and welcome!! The mission for this group is to make the best Speed Friending Event Group Ever!!</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>What is the difference between Speed Friending Events and Speed Dating?</strong></p> <p>In Speed Dating expectations are high to find an attractive partner. Speed Dating also charges 35$ per person, where with us, you get the the same benefits, plus you're more likely to find dates with us than Speed Dating, and you get the benefit of also making a lot of friends too. By attending even one event, our surveys say our members are getting an average of  2 dates and 4 friends each event they attend.</p> <p><br> Also in Speed Dating, people are often disappointed by the number of people that show and the quality of people that show. In their events if you don't like someone, you have to stay locked into an 8 minute conversation where you are given no instruction on what to say to the other person; this can sometimes be awkward. Our solution to this with Speed Friending Events is you will have very short interactions and our events are structured in ways to keep conversation lively all the time. At our events, you will quickly talk with multiple people and not stay in a conversation with any one person too long. At the end of our event you can get into conversations with people that YOU want to get into. The event is structured in a way so that you get an icebreaker with almost everyone in the room!</p> <p>In Speed Friending Events our members attend for a variety of reasons, some are looking for new friends, others looking for roommates, social network connections, some are looking for dates. At the end of the event participants feel like they all know each other because the event acts a HUGE icebreaker. Lively conversation always flows easily helping everyone forming new friendships all over the place at our events.<br> <br> <br> <strong>Our Satisfaction Guarantee!</strong><strong><br> <br> </strong> For all of our Speed Friending Events we offer our 'Match' Satisfaction Guarantee.</p> <p>We are so confident you will make new friends and connections at all of our events that are offering you a 100% refund, if you don't make at least 1 new great connection or even if you are just simply dissatisfied with any of our events. Simply talk to the host that day, give us your feedback, and we will offer you a 100% refund, hassle-free. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Sign up and let's make this happen!</strong></p> <p>Cost for our events range from 15.00-25.00, but joining this meetup group is free!!</p> <p> </p>

100429042 6172252 <p>Hi Gentlemen,</p> <p>I am going to try something a little different. I know there are men in the outer boroughs from Manhattan, and I thought I would try a meetup in Queens. Since, I know there are members out here.</p> <p>Now everyone from the group is WELCOME and it is so easy to get to Astoria. You just take the R train to Steinway St. stay in the back of the train and when you get out it is a few blocks away. I hope members who don't live in Queens will come Astoria is the new Manhattan and Steinway Street  it a lot of fun. A real mixed bag there are tons of interesting shops. And furniture stores that put style and taste back 100 years. But  they are fun to see.</p> <p>What I want to suggest is to have brunch at the restaurant which I have not been to but heard a lot of good things about and then catch a movie at Astoria Cinemas which is a few blocks away.</p> <p>Sign up now.</p> <p> </p> <p>I am a gay man living in Queens and am 58 years old. I find that most of the gay meet up groups are for younger men. I want to start one for men 50 and up. This is a great time of life -  we have experienced a lot and know that there is a lot more to come. And New York is such a great place to do it all the boroughs have so much to see and experience. It would great  to have a social group, go to a museum, dinner, the movies or have coffee. To meet with other men from different backgrounds and share our different and similar experiences. Let me know what you think, what ideas you have. This group has no home base and is open to men in all the boroughs.</p>
10042911 1327312 <p>Here are the details:</p> <p>*We are meeting on thursday, April 2nd from 2- 4 pm<br/>*Aha is a nice play space that is stroller accessible, has a bathroom and changing table, and allows us to feed our kids on site<br/>*The use of the play space is normally $20 - for us it is only $10. Please tell the woman at the front desk you are with NYC Dads Group.<br/>*this is how they describe their play space:<br/>The A-Ha! open Playspace is 3000 square feet of developmentally stimulating fun and games for children ages 0-5 and their caregivers. Bounce castle, train set, play gyms, puppet theater, play kitchen, dress-up, doll-house, puzzles and much more provide hours of activity without a time-limit.<br/>*website: <a href="http://www.ahalearning.com/"><a href="http://www.ahalearnin" class="linkified">http://www.ahalearnin</a>...</a><br/>*thought this would be good for us to enjoy their space at a low price and allow us ample time to talk and hang out.</p> <p>See you next Thursday afternoon!</p> <p>Lance</p> <p>Meet other New York City Stay At Home Dads, Part-time at home dads, work from home dads, freelance dads, working dads, and <strong>involved fathers</strong> in and around NYC to socialize and interact with other guys who enjoy spending quality time with their kids during the day.</p> <p>Our primary goal is to form an inclusive &amp; active community of involved dads during the week while the rest of the world is working, so we can take advantage of what the city has to offer without the crowds &amp; within a tight budget. This still enables us to have ample time in the evenings and weekends for our family bonding.</p> <p>Organized meet up events are offered several times per week at a local park/playground, museum, playgym, children's venue, parent &amp; me class, zoo, restaurant, or someone's playroom/lounge in their building.</p> <p>There are not enough resources, support groups, or services for dads in NYC. This group is the pioneer in achieving more for dads in NYC and the surrounding NY Metro area including Jersey City, and lower Westchester!</p> <p>Additionally, check out our BLOG SITE to read about PLAYGROUP EXPERIENCES, RELEVANT NEWS, News articles, EVENTS, RESEARCH, WORK-LIFE BALANCE &amp; MORE from a diverse group of dad voices: <a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/"></a><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/" target="_blank">http://www.nycdadsgroup.com/</a></p> <p>Join us on Facebook:  <span>http://www.facebook.com/NYCDadsGroup</span></p> <p><span>Join us on Twitter:</span> http://twitter.com/#!/NYCDadsGroup</p> <p>Expectant father?

City Dads Group has communities of dads in other major metropolitan cities such as Boston, Philly, L.A., San Francisco, Denver, Indy, Atlanta, Chicago, and Columbus. http://www.citydadsgroup.com/</p> <p>Finally, we have a $25/year suggested donation to join our Meetup group. This amount is less than the cost of a single kid's class in NYC, but collectively, the money will be used to reach out to more dads around the city, participate in more parent expos, &amp; continue to use our voice to bring the privilege of active fatherhood to all dads.

100429482 5055262 <p>Talea Ensemble presents Dialogs and Dualities</p> <p> Talea Ensemble Enlarge image (© Beowulf Sheehan )</p> <p>The Talea Ensemble is committed to promoting new, groundbreaking music through innovative programming, thereby communicating the distinctive voices of composers that deserve to be heard. By commissioning and programming these progressive works alongside the established literature of modern and contemporary repertoire, the ensemble creates a dialogue that fosters a greater understanding of the works of today. Additionally, the Talea Ensemble supports and advances familiarity with contemporary American works by bringing them to concert halls and venues not only in New York but also abroad. By developing an interactive relationship between the composers, performers and audience, the Talea Ensemble builds an environment of reciprocal inspiration that sparks the imagination of all. The Tale Ensemble not only introduces new work to the world of music, but also introduces new music to the world.</p> <p>This program pairs two of the most prominent and influential figures of the postwar European new music scene, Karlheinz Stockhausen [masked]) and Hans Werner Henze [masked]). Both composers were in their 20s when they quickly gained recognition during the early years of the Darmstadt International Summer Courses for New Music, and both were poised to lead the avant-garde in new directions. Henze's "Whispers from Heavenly Death" for voice and piano is the work of a highly gifted 22-year-old who had recently turned to serial technique. And although he would ultimately reject the harmonic language of his earliest years, his lyrical sensitivity in these settings of Whitman poems is already on prominent display. Special guest soprano, Sylvie Robert, will join Talea pianist Steven Beck. Henze’s Piano Sonata of 1959, written a decade later, after a move to Italy and the premieres of his first operas and ballets, switches readily between an angular, pointillist language and a more neo-classical rhythmic regularity.</p> <p>Written in 1964, Stockhausen's "Microphonie I" treats the tam-tam as an instrument capable of infinite timbral contrast and manipulation. By having two percussionists play on the instrument with a variety of implements, another two players amplifying the sounds with microphones, and two sound engineers filtering the resulting sounds and sending the output to quadrophonic speakers surrounding the audience, Stockhausen treats the microphone as a new kind of instrument, one that reveals and manipulates the micro-resonances of the tam-tam. As he writes in the preface of the score, "I probed the surface of the tamtam with the microphone, as a doctor probes a body with a stethoscope." The experience of hearing this monumental, half-hour long work live is not to be missed. The evening will feature Berlin-based American percussionist, Robyn Schulkowsky, who worked closely with Stockhausen.</p> <p>Program:<br/>Hans Werner Henze: Whispers from Heavenly Death (1948)<br/>Hans Werner Henze: Sonata (1959)<br/>Karlheinz Stockhausen: Mikrophonie I (1964)</p> <p> </p> <p>RSVP required</p> <p><a href="http://taleaensemble.eventbrite.com/"><a href="http://taleaensemble.eventbrite.com/" class="linkified">http://taleaensemble.eventbrite.com/</a></a>#</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/4/c/8/event_201813992.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left"></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Come join us for some Music, Dance, Arts, Culture, Food and ...good times!</p>

Hence, this group gets founded.</p> <p>This group is aimed to provide a flatform to create active sport events for active fit young singles, mostly FREE or at a bargain group rate price. This group is for young single professionals to enjoy active, and adventurous activties in group setting and make friends in the process. The group has age range from 20s to 30s to keep this group active and strong. Exceptions will be given to those who can demonstrate some extraordinary athletic abilities.</p> <p>The main activies include:<br> adventures, outdoor and sport activities, skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating, alpine skiing, downhill skiing, figure skating, ice dancing, roller-blading/skating, badminton, table tennis (ping pong), archery, tennis, volleyball, swimming, biking, hiking, zip-Line, adventure courses, paintball, kayaking, bowling, fitness, gym, golf, fencing, whitewater rafting, camping, rock-climbing, sports and recreation, and more ...</p> <p>Some more adventurous events to try:<br> sky-diving, scuba-diving, wave surfing, wind surfing, paragliding, parasailing, horse-back riding &amp; etc. (will update this) ...</p> <p>We will try to complement these events with breakfasts/lunches/dinners when possible. Hey, we all need energy to be active, right?</p> <p>Occasionally, we can join some laid back events like museums, movies, concerts, clubings, karaoke, and travels etc so we can enjoy other aspects of life too.</p> <p>So, all active singles, let's keep an active and healthy life style. Join this group and let's create fun active sporting events, and enjoy the life to its fullness together!!!</p> <p>P.S.

100430122 5055262 <p>New York-based German pianist Florian Hoefner introduces his unique brand of modern jazz with the “Florian Hoefner Group.” Alongside his contemporaries in the New York jazz scene, the two-time winner of the ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Award presents a set of original compositions with appeal to a wide span of music fans and jazz lovers alike.</p> <p>The group unites musicians from four different countries on three different continents. Besides the German bandleader you will hear Canadian tenor saxophonist Mike Ruby, Australian bassist, Sam Anning, and Austrian drummer Peter Kronreif. The band members have performed with numerous artists, including Kenny Werner, Ari Hoenig, Kurt Rosenwinkel and Joe Lovano.</p> <p>About the artists</p> <p>Florian Hoefner has established himself both as a jazz pianist and a composer.</p> <p>His piano playing is featured on eight international CD releases. Performances brought him to numerous countries on four different continents, including venues and festivals like Jazz Baltica (Germany), Bohemia Jazz Fest (Czech Republic), Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola NY (USA) and Porgy &amp; Bess Vienna (Austria). He has shared the stage with artists like Kurt Rosenwinkel, Joe Lovano Seamus Blake, John Riley and Tim Ries.</p> <p>While still a student at the Manhattan School of Music in New York, he won his first of two ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Awards. His big band compositions have been premiered by the German National Jazz Orchestra, the Lucerne Jazz Orchestra and the New York Jazz Orchestra.</p> <p>Mike Ruby has established himself in New York City as an astonishing tenor saxophone performer with a captivating stage presence that brings energy and beauty to the music he performs.</p> <p>Mike was praised by Downbeat Magazine for his “impressive command of his instrument” while Showtime Magazine compared him to “the young Joshua Redman”. His international reach has included performances in the Netherlands, the U.K and Germany. Mike has also played at many jazz festivals across Canada and the U.S., the most notable being the Montreal Jazz Festival and the Monterey Jazz Festival, respectively. He has opened for Yo-Yo Ma at The Waldorf Astoria and has performed with such greats as Thomas Hampson, Hermeto Pascoal, Ari Hoenig and many others. In the short time he has been working in New York City Ruby has already played jazz venues Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola @ Lincoln Center, Smalls, Iridium, Jazz Gallery, 55 Bar, and many more.</p> <p>Mike was voted Best Soloist by Downbeat Jazz Magazine and won a recording contract with Universal Music’s internationally distributed Canadian jazz label, Alma Records. He holds a Master of Music in Jazz Performance from The Manhattan School of Music. His teachers include Dave Liebman, Donny McCaslin, George Garzone, Joshua Redman, Miguel Zenon and Mark Turner.</p> <p>Florian Hoefner Group Enlarge image Florian Hoefner Group (© Maximilian Motel) Sam Anning is one of Australia’s foremost up-and-coming jazz musicians.<br/>After graduating from WAAPA in Perth, completing a Bachelor of Jazz, Sam went on to study and perform in New York City, the U.K., and Europe, where he also developed and broadened his compositional and performance style.</p> <p>He received the Toyota Scholarship for Jazz (2001), the 2008 Bell Award for Young Jazz Musician of the Year and the 2010 Bell Award for Classic Jazz Album of the Year (“Homage”- Anning, Hannaford, Browne – Jazzhead Records). He is currently a full scholarship student at the Manhattan School of Music, Masters program.</p> <p>Sam has performed with a large number of national and international artists including: Kenny Werner, Jim Black, Ari Hoenig, Gilad Hekselman, Charlie Haden, Wycliffe Gordon, Sheila Jordan, Chris Cheek, George Garzone, Will Vinson, James Morrison, Terrell Stafford and Greg Osby.</p> <p>Before relocating to New York in 2010 Peter Kronreif was already one of the busiest young drummers in Europe.</p> <p>While still a student in Vienna, he began playing with the greats of the European scene like Harry Sokal, Martin Reiter, Matthieu Michel and Allegre Correa. His excellent reputation as a studio drummer led to over 30 international CD releases.</p> <p>After being awarded the Hans-Koller-Prize as “Sideman of the Year 2010” in Austria he took the hint, released his first CD “Gloaming” as a leader with his group “Wayfarers” and brought the band on tour in Europe. Since his move to NYC he could quickly establish himself in the scene. He is now busy touring with New York’s LeBoeuf Brothers and other emerging artists.</p> <p>RSVP required</p> <p><a href="http://hoefnergroup.eventbrite.com/" class="linkified">http://hoefnergroup.eventbrite.com/</a>#</p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/4/c/8/event_201813992.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left"></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Come join us for some Music, Dance, Arts, Culture, Food and ...good times!</p>

100430802 6214862 <p>I have been awfully busy. Still am. There have been great suggestions and I hope that people are meeting up and pursuing those! Steampunk Salon. Let's dine, talk, and share a passage from writing that has inspired us to esteem the Age of Steam and/or to claim our imaginations. We were very interested in having this be open to people of all ages -- so let's be respectable in our literary selections. We had a great time last time. This time we have another room which is more set back and slightly roomier. We will meet a bit earlier and break bread together. Again, bring things you would like to show and tell -- if you are a Maker -- by all means bring things to show and share. Some of us are in character and some of us are simply characters. But all of us have character. This was an extremely pleasant group. Look here for more details as we, together, fill them out. Send ideas to me! See you soon! I look forward to your RSVP!</p> <p>This is a group for people interested in Steampunk with some passion for science fiction, history, and sane, intelligent conversation. We are kindred spirits with an interest in alternate historical imaginings. We will watch movies, read books, listen to Steampunk music, talk ideas, and find places, primarily in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, to dress as and explore our characters. Inclusive, welcoming, but not kinky.  We are travelers of time and the imagination.</p>

10043277 25727 <p>I know Aparecida over at Brazil Station, and she has been teaching in New York since 2003. She started teaching students one-on-one, and now has the best Portuguese school in the area. They offer a lot of classes in Portuguese that we Brazilians would like, as well as regular Portuguese classes for people learning our beautiful language. She asked me to announce their new Leis Brasileiras class. For sure! Here you go!</p> <p><br/><b>Brazil Station, Inc.</b> (<i><a href="http://www.brazilstation.com"><b>www.brazilstation.com</b></a></i>) is the first company in the tri-state area dedicated solely to Brazilian and Portuguese services. With professionals who are native Brazilians and experts in language, communication and education, our mission is to bring Brazil a little closer to the United States.</p> <p><b>Leis Brasileiras</b> introduces students to the most common concepts in Brazilian law and its legal system. Students will learn some legal history, fundamentals of the Brazilian criminal and civil justice systems, common law and the basis for forming and enforcing contracts in Brazil. The course will explain both the philosophy behind Brazilian law and the actual practice of law in typical situations. Intended for law practitioners, students will distinguish legal terms and discuss their applications in Brazilian society and business. Where possible, comparisons will be made with legal practices in the United States. The course will include lectures, student presentations and discussions, and will offer weekly readings on case studies and actual trials.<br/><b><br/>Leis Brasileiras em português</b> (Brazilian Law in Portuguese) will start on Monday, April 13th at 8 pm. The course will be taught in Portuguese, except when necessary in English to clarify topics and to compare Brazilian with US law. Students will learn how to express legal terms and concepts in Portuguese.</p> <p><b>Leis Brasileiras em inglês</b> (Brazilian Law in English) will start on Monday, April 20th at 6:15 pm. The course will be taught entirely in English. Students will learn legal terms and concepts as applied in Brazil.</p> <p>For more information about this course, Portuguese classes or other classes such as <b>Português para Negócios</b>, <b>Música Brasil</b> or <b>História Brasileira Moderna</b>, contact us at [masked] or call[masked]-5391. Muito obrigada. Aparecida.</p> <p><br/>.</p> <p>The Brazilian culture meet-up group is a space we have to speak portuguese, know a little bit more about the brazilian culture, and make new friends in a healthy, safe, open and spontaneous space.</p>

100434722 5055262 <p>Artist Anand PKC has announced an exhibition of new paintings - A Transcendent Realism will open on Saturday, February 2nd, 2013</p> <p>True Realism by Anand PKC</p> <p>"Creating virtual reality in oil painting has always been my passion since I was young" - Anand PKC</p> <p>Anand PKC is an award-winning artist whose work is dedicated to capturing his subjects as close and true to reality as possible.</p> <p>Anand PKC was born on October 20th, 1974 in South India.He is fully dedicated to realism and wishes to paint his subjects as true to reality as possible. After spending his youth in India, he now lives in New York City, USA.</p> <p>At the tender age of 3, he was showing promise as an artist, in both drawing and painting with water colors.</p> <p>His natural talent was observed carefully by his mother, who was also an artist in her early school days, and was supportive of his talent.</p> <p>Her encouragement gave her son great inspiration and he was involved in art events at his schools, winning several prizes and regional awards as a junior. Since then, after graduation in BBA, he drifted from his artistic pursuits to work with his father in other ventures.</p> <p>Being a gifted artist in childhood, it seemed fated that he would return to his artistic roots and inevitably become an artist. Anand now has his own art business, Maharani Arts, Inc., which opened in New York in 2010.</p> <p>His first public art exhibition in the United States was Art Expo 2011 in New York City.

By popular demand, the season has been extended! The group is centered around dining in Chicago, but extends to other cultural social events in the city. The dining focus is on finding the best combination of fine food at prices reasonable enough to attend these as often as you can. That means a selection of BYOB's, events on specials night at some of the best restaurants in the city, an Around the World in Chicago dinner series highlighting new ethnic restaurants, and then some events that have less to do with food and more about exploring culture in Chicago! Come discover new restaurants, enjoy delicious meals and make satisfying conversation with friendly dinner companions. It's a big dinner table and all are welcome!</p>

100436862 2203141 <p>Photoshop can be a very powerful tool for enhancing and manipulating your photography, but often people shy away from it because it is such a complex tool. Shy away no more. We will begin offering a series of Photoshop classes that are very specific to the things YOU want to learn.</p> <p>This week, you will learn:</p> <p>1. How to actually use curves: it's the levels tool on steroids!</p> <p>2. How to remove wrinkles and blemishes quickly;</p> <p>3. How make things disappear (telephone posts, cars, insignificant others);</p> <p>4. How to replace skies;</p> <p>5. Nondestructive cropping</p> <p>6. Simple masking techniques that will change the way you approach photography;</p> <p>7. How to make quick selections; and</p> <p>8. Why the content aware tool is your new best friend!</p> <p> </p> <p><b>Requirements: Please bring version CS5 or CS6 with you. If you do not have CS5 or 6,  you may download a 30-day trial version of the latest Photoshop program from the Adobe website. Please do not download until the DAY OF CLASS as the trial version is only good for 30 days and you may want to use it for subsequent classes. PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS will be fine for this class for about 90% or more of what we are doing.</b></p> <p><b> </b></p> <p><b>Please bring 5-10 RAW images to work on in class.</b></p> <p><b> </b></p> <p><b>Plug-ins are not necessary but Clifford will go over what plug-ins are useful, what can be done with them and how they save time.</b></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>About the Presenter:</p> <p><a href="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/5/a/6/event_138065542.jpegClifford" class="linkified">http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/5/a/6/event_138065542.jpegClifford</a> Pickett is professional commercial photographer, event photographer and educator based in NYC.  He first picked up a camera while spending a year traveling through Europe after having earned his MBA early.  Like many travelers, that passion for seeing and experiencing the world is precisely what ignited the spark for photography.  Clifford has spent all of his time since learning how to see and capture the world with the fresh eyes that traveling affords. He hasn't been shooting for 40 years, he hasn't been alive for 40 years.  He hasn't been classically trained in the fine arts either.  He is entirely self taught, through books, workshops, seminars, DVD's and real life, it is this that perhaps may be his greatest asset, the ability to relate to the amateur photographer.  Not having been so far removed, it is this understanding that allows him to help his students see through the cloud of misinformation and confusion and marketing spins to find real answers to questions from those who share the same passion for the world, and need to capture and share it, that he does.  Leveraging both the business and photographic skills he has developed while managing a private testing laboratory, he recently is the owner of a photography company specializing in the construction industry and a commercial video production company.  His corporate clients include Estée Lauder, Sephora and Clinique.</p> <p style="text-align : justify"><span><span style="color : #000000">So, you just spent all this money on that flashy,</span> <span style="color : #0000ff"><strong>new DSLR camera</strong></span> <span style="color : #000000">with more buttons than your favorite shirt.

We’ll cover effective ways to prompt and praise your child, the use of incentives and rewards, how to give an effective time-out, how to address more challenging behaviors, and how to respond to minor misbehaviors.</p> <p>You can Register here, or I will register for you when I receive your payment: <a href="http://www.bigcitymoms.com/eventRegistration.php?%20id=49"><a href="http://www.bigcitymom" class="linkified">http://www.bigcitymom</a>...</a><br/>RECOMMENDED FOR AGES: INTENDED FOR ADULTS ONLY, BUT IF YOU HAVE A SMALL BABY, FEEL FREE TO BRING THE LITTLE DARLING ALONG<br/>EVENT RUNS FROM: 6PM- 8PM<br/>COST: $20/ person, Everyone who pre-pays will go home with gift bags with treats from:<br/>Alex Toys, Melissa and Doug, Kidville, Baby Legs, Luna Bar, and more</b><br/><a href="http://weather.msn.com/local.aspx?wealocations=wc:USNY0996">Check out your local weather</a><br/><a href="http://www.hopstop.com/?city=newyork">Subway, bus, taxi, walking directions</a> (copy and paste the address listed above into the destination field)</p> <p><b>IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND HERE'S WHAT TO DO NEXT:</p> <p>If you are 200% sure that you can attend then RSVP "YES".<br/>If you are only 199% sure you can attend, please RSVP "maybe".<br/>If you can't make it, please RSVP "NO" and state why (I don't mean to pry, I would just like to find &amp; create events that are better suited to you!)<br/>WHEN YOU RSVP "YES" PLEASE PAY THE FEE FOR THE EVENT.<br/><a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&amp;SESSION=vqlb66MXa72Qj0wfzMLopK9ULX_k_ZnqQrHyLrY5a0HfumBvLsznaJtOCfe&amp;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1fa798f5a5f5ae42e779d4b5655493f6179c7b0ecd252eac84">You can make your donation with a major credit or debit card here if you don't have a paypal account</a><br/>TO REDUCE "NO-SHOWS" AT EVENTS: If you RSVP "YES" and your Donation is not received, or you don't contact (call or email) the organizer at least 12 hours before the event, your RSVP will be demoted or may even be cancelled.<br/>IF YOU CAN'T MAKE AN ATTENDANCE DONATION, BUT WOULD STILL LIKE TO ATTEND, PLEASE RSVP 'MAYBE" OR CONTACT THE ORGANIZER.<br/>Please print out a copy of the Member Directory and take it with you to all events.<a href="http://files.meetup.com/1044563/NYC%20FFF%20Member%20Directory.xls"><a href="http://files.meetup.c" class="linkified">http://files.meetup.c</a>...</a><br/>If you have a last minute change in plans (2 hours before the event) please call the host/ organizer to let her know.<br/>Don't forget to keep your RSVP updated.*-)<br/>Look to see who else will be attending, and if they live nearby maybe you can ride together.

It is difficult for them to find social events where they can meet other singles their age.  Though I am comfortable in and enjoy social groups with a broad age range, I realized that some of my friends, especially friends older than me, wanted a group that was more their own age. I decided to see if I could fill that need. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">The idea is to have happy hours, dinners, museum visits, dances, movie nights, game nights, etc. where active men and women can meet each other for fun events in no-pressure situations, where friendship and romance can blossom!

10043890 471824 <p>For our next meeting, we will continue our discussion of language, in service of our interest in discovering a language of Immanence, through the lectures on Rhetoric of UC Berkeley Instructor Daniel Coffeen.</p> <p>Please listen to the 10th and 11th lectures (February 21 and 26) in Coffeen's Spring 2008 course on Rhetoric:</p> <p><a href="http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details.php?seriesid=1906978535"><a href="http://webcast.berkel" class="linkified">http://webcast.berkel</a>...</a></p> <p>In this session, we will be continuing our exploration of Roland Barthes's "The Death of the Author" (<a href="http://www.ubu.com/aspen/aspen5and6/threeEssays.html#barthes">original</a> | <a href="http://oil21.org/txt/Roland%20Barthes%20-%20The%20Death%20of%20the%20Author.txt">text</a>).</p> <p>"Rhetoric is strange. Unlike philosophy, rhetoric eschews the search for universal truths. And yet the rhetorician does not dismiss propriety. On the contrary, the rhetorician relentlessly seeks it, always trying to say the right thing at the right time. Picture a lawyer: he or she must heed a complex confluence of factors before speaking - the law as it reads, legal precedent, available evidence, the make up of the jury, the disposition of the judge, public opinion, etc. The lawyer does not enjoy the luxury of the philosopher; the lawyer cannot meditate in solitude discovering eternal truths. The lawyer, the rhetorician, must reckon a truth that is local, that changes as the world changes."</p> <p>The syllabus for Coffeen's course can be found here:<br/><a href="http://arhetorslife.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html"><a href="http://arhetorslife.b" class="linkified">http://arhetorslife.b</a>...</a></p> <p>"Yes, the problem has changed", says Deleuze, "It may be that to believe in this world, in this life, has become our most difficult task, the task of a mode of existence to be discovered on our plane of immanence today."</p> <p>Immanence affords us an opportunity to bring balance into our experience through recognition that our nature is a part of all that is - that one is a residual phenomenon of many - and that being embodied is indeed spiritual and soulful, and spiritually conjunctive.</p> <p>It looks at the here and now, and brings into focus idea, feeling, and being, in and of presence. Immanence emphasizes a radially adaptive path, in which transcendence is the turning of a corner and consciousness a gestalt of the liminal.</p> <p>To this end, our being as a constellation and multiplicity, rather than as a spurious object in existence, is explored.</p> <p>Ours is a pluralistic metaphysics, a multi-valanced expression of the univocal. We broaden our consciousness, and explore the betwixt. This is the non-linear path, the path of enlivenment.</p> <p>[Photo credit: "life is fun", by Nney.

100441312 457627 <p>Local Natives are coming to The Vic on March 21st at 8:00 PM!</p> <p> </p> <p>They are coming to Chicago in support of their second album, 'Hummingbird', which is due out January 29th. The album is following-up their hit album 'Gorilla Manor' which was released in 2010 and has been in heavy rotation every since.</p> <p> </p> <p>The plan is to meet beforehand over at Redmond's so we can all find each other and go into the venue together. With that said, if you have yet to listen to Local Natives and would like to, I would recommend checking youtube for their songs 'Airplanes', 'Sun Hands', 'Breakers' and 'Heavy Feet'... just to name a couple songs off of both of their records.</p> <p> </p> <p>Tickets are sold out! Check craigslist/friends/here for last minutes tickets.</p> <p>I will send out my number a couple of days before the show so you can find me at Redmond's before the show. Look forward to seeing you all there for what should be a fantastic show!</p> <p>Are you a Chicago-area fan of indie, underground, and other "non-major label" music?  Do you prefer shows at smaller, intimate venues over giant arenas with overpriced drinks?  Do you love geeking out about music, finding new bands, and meeting others that share your great taste in music?  Then you're in the right place!</p> <p><span>We'll be meeting up to see shows by mostly indie and up-and-coming bands at smaller venues like the Vic, the Riv, Metro, Lincoln Hall, Subterranean, Bottom Lounge, etc.</span> <span>For most event's we'll meet up at a local bar so members can get to know each other before the show.  Everyone can grab a few drinks, geek out about the band or anything else they're currently listening to, then head over to the show as a group.</span></p> <p>Do you already go to a ton of shows and want to help out?  Contact our <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Chicago-Indie-Rock/members/11344723/">head organizer</a> to find out how you can become an organizer too!</p> <p> </p>

We will then head South on Route 17 and make a left Railroad Ave, very close to Orange Turnpike, County Road 19. From here we will begin our hike following the Metro North Railroad for couple hundred yards until we come to the White Trail which heads right. The White Trail then crosses a foot bridge over the Ramapo River. The trail soon heads over the Southfields Pedestrian Bridge over I87. We will then walk parallel with I87 for several hundred yards until the White Trail cuts right and begins to Ascend Green Pond Mountain. The White trail then descends briefly until it crosses Stahahe Brook (which may be treacherous in high water). The White Trail will then ascend again as it crosses a stream with waterfalls (another high water risk potential) and then up through Valley of the Boulders. Just past Valley of the Boulders our route will make a right on the yellow trail. We will follow the yellow trail and then head up to the top of Green Pond Mountain, where we will stop to catch our breath at a viewpoint overlook I87 and Sterling Forest State Park. At this spot we will have completed the majority of climbing for the trip with elevation gain of a little over 1,000 feet.</p> <p>The route will then head back down to the Yellow Trail as it circumnavigates Green Pond over numerous rolling ups and downs past Island Pond Road, until it reaches Boston Mine. The group will then take a brief look at Boston Mine before continuing on the Yellow Trail. The Yellow Trail will continue to roll up and down until it veers left and doubles with the White Bar Trail. Our route will then follow the White Bar Trail over more rolling terrain through numerous blow downs, which were most likely caused by Hurricane Sandy. Eventually the White Bar Trail makes a juncture with the Long Path, and the Red Triangle Trail. The group will turn left on the Red Triangle Trail and follow it briefly as it crosses another small stream and then intersects with the White Appalachian Trail (AT) at the Lemon Squeeze. We will then ascend the Lemon Squeeze with the option of scrambling up a relatively difficult boulder. The group will then head back down the AT and skirt along the shore of Island Pond. The AT then ascends several hundred feet up our final ascent of the eastern slope of Green Pond Mountain. We will then descend the Western side of Green Pond Mountain until we reach our cars stowed in the Elk Pen parking lot.</p> <p>Following the hike we can stop off at Tuxedo Junction in the village of Tuxedo or Rhodes Tavern in Sloatsburg for some food and merriment. We'll decide this at the lot.</p> <p>All attendees should come prepared with a copy of the above map.

100442412 6172252 <p>Hello gentlemen,<br/>I am planning another meetup on Sunday February 3 at the restaurant Fatty Fish (www.fattyfishnyc.com).<br/>One of our members Carter Mackey told me about this restaurant. One of the other meetup groups he goes to uses it.<br/>They have a back room we can have all to ourselves for brunch.<br/>Check out their website.They have a really interesting menu.<br/>One of the reasons I have planned 2 brunch meetups is because from our first meeting at the coffee shop a meal seemed a great way to spend time together, circulate and get to know each other.<br/>Also, it is winter and hard to plan meetups that are not indoors.<br/>My hope is to keep the group going and for us to really have the opportunity to get to know each other and circulate. And for more members to come.<br/>I think this venue will allow us to do that and there is no charge for the room which will give us privacy for a good meal and meeting some good men.<br/>I hope you can all come. Please feel free to leave feedback or start a conversation.<br/>Looking forward to seeing you all, George</p> <p>I am a gay man living in Queens and am 58 years old. I find that most of the gay meet up groups are for younger men. I want to start one for men 50 and up. This is a great time of life -  we have experienced a lot and know that there is a lot more to come. And New York is such a great place to do it all the boroughs have so much to see and experience. It would great  to have a social group, go to a museum, dinner, the movies or have coffee. To meet with other men from different backgrounds and share our different and similar experiences. Let me know what you think, what ideas you have. This group has no home base and is open to men in all the boroughs.</p>

Urban photos often take buildings, or rather the urban landscape itself as the main subject and if people are included in the picture is it is incidental. For this Workshop we will be hitting the Bronx, <b>Dawn’s</b> <b>neighborhood</b> to be exact, to document many areas of industrial activity in the Southeast area of the Bronx.<img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/9/0/event_184920912.jpeg" /></p> <p><br/>In this Workshop, we will begin at Dawn’s apartment with a brief presentation on works in this genre. After this presentation, we will hit the streets and learn about perspective distortion and how to avoid it as well as learn how tilt-shift lenses can give large-format features to DSLRs. Some highlights of the area will be overpasses, train bridges, working and abandoned warehouses, refineries, power plants as well as some landscape street art along the way.</p> <p><b><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/e/0/event_184920992.jpeg" /></b>Requirements: Bring your camera and wear good, sturdy shoes – no open-toes shoes!</p> <p><b>Optional: Tripod</b></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>About the Presenter:</p> <p><a href="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/7/5/c/event_174494172.jpegShayok" class="linkified">http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/7/5/c/event_174494172.jpegShayok</a> Mukhopadhyay does a wide range of photography, from landscape to photojournalism, with a set of tools ranging from view cameras to video.

100443772 2203141 <p>Photoshop can be a very powerful tool for enhancing and manipulating your photography, but often people shy away from it because it is such a complex tool. Shy away no more.

Please be sure to update your RSVP if your plans change so that those on the waiting list will have a chance to attend.</b>**</p> <p><br/>Discussion questions for The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. Please feel free to bring additional questions you may have about the book.</p> <p><i>1. In The Five People You Meet in Heaven it says "all endings are also beginnings." What does this mean? How has it been true in your life? Is this comforting, sad--what emotions does this idea arouse in you?</p> <p>2. Throughout the novel, we learn about Eddie by hearing about various birthdays. What do these birthdays teach us about him? What do they add to the story? Why did Albom choose birthdays for this purpose?</p> <p>3. What affect did counting down the final minutes of Eddie's life have on you?</p> <p>4. Eddie said he spent his life trying to get away from Ruby Pier, yet he ends up back there after death. What significance did Ruby Pier hold for him?</p> <p>5. Who are the five people he meets in heaven? What is the significance of each?</p> <p>6. The five people are not necessarily who Eddie would have expected to meet. What might Albom be saying about the way our lives touch other lives and what is significant?</p> <p>7. What is your reaction to the Blue Man's story?</p> <p>8. The old woman tells Eddie, "you have peace when you make it with yourself." Do you believe this is true?</p> <p>9. Who are the five people you think would meet you in heaven? Who might you meet in heaven after they die? Would any be surprised to see you (ie, has anyone had a significant impact on your life that may not know it)?</i></p> <p>*** Members decide which books we read.

100444802 2582052 <p>LEVITZ, HAJDU, YOE, PACKER, FINGEROTH TALK WERTHAM at<br/>The Soho Gallery for Digital Art 138 Sullivan St. New York, NY[masked]-5590. [masked]</p> <p>$10.00 at <a href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/321249" class="linkified">http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/321249</a>, $15.00 at the door.</p> <p>In 1954, psychiatrist FREDRIC WERTHAM's book "Seduction of the Innocent" was published, enshrining the famed psychiatrist's attacks on comics and their publishers. While Wertham's motives were more complex than many gave him credit for, his efforts decimated the comics industry and, some say, stunted the medium's development.</p> <p>Tonight, on the occasion of Wertham's 118th birthday, PAUL LEVITZ (Legion of Super-Heroes), DAVID HAJDU (The Ten Cent Plague), CRAIG YOE (Zombies), SHARON PACKER (Superheroes and Superegos) and DANNY FINGEROTH (The Stan Lee Universe) will discuss Wertham's legacy close to 60 years since the publication of his controversial work. Fingeroth will also serve as moderator.</p> <p>Besides the panel, the evening will consist of a screening of rarely seen videos of Wertham, readings from Seduction, and displays of pages from the comics Wertham found most objectionable. There will be a Q &amp; A and a signing session with the panelists. Copies of their books will be available for purchase.</p> <p><br/>ABOUT THE PANELISTS:</p> <p>PAUL LEVITZ has been a comic fan (The Comic Reader, winner of two Best Fanzine Comic Art Fan Awards), editor (Batman), writer (Legion of Super-Heroes), and executive (38 years at DC, including President &amp; Publisher). He has received the Inkpot, Clampett Humanitarian, and ComicsPro Industry Appreciation Awards, and serves on the board of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. His Eisner Award -winning book, 75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking, was published by Taschen, and his recent comics writing appears in Legion of Super-Heroes and World's Finest, as well as collected editions. His best known work is the NY Times Best Selling Graphic Book, Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga.</p> <p>DAVID HAJDU teaches in Columbia University's School of Journalism. He serves as the music critic for The New Republic and is the author of books including Positively 4th Street and The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic Book Scare and How It Changed America.</p> <p>CRAIG YOE has been called the "Indiana Jones of comics historians" by Vice magazine. Publishers Weekly says he's the "archivist of the ridiculous and the sublime" and calls his work "brilliant." The Onion calls him "the celebrated designer," The Library Journal, "a comics guru." BoingBoing hails him "a fine cartoonist and a comic book historian of the first water." Yoe was Creative Director/Vice President/ General Manager of Jim Henson's Muppets, and a Creative Director at Nickelodeon and Disney. Craig has won an Eisner Award and the Gold Medal from the Society of Illustrators.</p> <p>SHARON PACKER, M.D., is a practicing physician and psychiatrist, and Adjunct Professor of Media Studies at New School University . She has published dozens of academic articles and book reviews, as well as chapters on psychology and media, and psychiatry and religion. Her books include Superheroes and Superegos and the 2012 Cinema's Sinister Psychiatrists.</p> <p>DANNY FINGEROTH was a longtime writer and editor for Marvel Comics and was Senior VP of Education at The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA),. He has spoken on comics at venues including The Smithsonian Institution and The Metropolitan Museum. Fingeroth is the author of Superman on the Couch and Disguised as Clark Kent; and co-editor (with Roy Thomas) of The Stan Lee Universe, a treasury of interviews, articles, and mementos relating to the co- creator of the Marvel Universe, including a debate between Lee and Wertham's colleague, Dr. Hilde Mosse.</p> <p><br/>Soho Gallery For Digital Art is a multi-purpose event space, art gallery and theater.<br/>We are located at 138 Sullivan Street btwn Houston and Prince. The gallery is 2000 sq. feet on 2 floors with 16 40" digital canvases that can be customized for any event as well as projector and screen in our 75-seat theater downstairs.</p> <p>Centrally located in an iconic NYC neighborhood, SGDA has hosted all types of events; company parties, corporate meetings, product launches, film screenings, film shoots, art shows, fashion shows, theatrical performances and special occasions.</p> <p>If you can dream it, we can do it.</p> <p>This is a group for aspiring comic creators to have an opportunity to network, collaborate, synergize and hang out with like minded individuals. If your an artist, writer or other welcome aboard.</p> <p>I started this meetup because comic books/graphic novels have had a resurgence in popularity recently with the movie, t.v. and video game adaptations. The technology of the last five to ten years has made it possible for the independent creators to go forward on their own via web comics with greater accessibility to their content with current mobile devices and not limited by the established distribution system.</p> <p>If your looking to go forward then join us.</p> <p>"WE ARE NOT A SCHOOL, THERE ARE NO KIDS PROGRAMS AT ALL."</p> <p>We are an open forum "we will try to advise, give helpful critiques and inform members in search of answers". Mainly we hangout and have a good time.</p> <p> </p> <p>Hopefully being among other creators will inspire you.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

100444902 2203141 <p> </p> <p>We may all wonder how professional photographers can photograph so much and stay so organized in their processes of storage, organizing and editing of their photographs. Digital Workflow is the workflow from conception to completion. All the steps you take after photographing to storing, organizing and editing your work in a timely fashion. In this Workshop, we will focus on creating a streamline workflow so that you can stay organized and maintain an efficient way to handle your images as you produce more and more over time so you will be able to instantly find a photo you're looking for without having to dig through folders. This workshop will cover the steps involved in getting the pictures out of your camera or even your phone and turning them into photographs which can be appreciated by your audience. In the early days of digital this required several programs but today we live in simpler times. This workshop will focus on using one application to accomplish your goals of streamlining your digital workflow. We will be using Adobe Lightroom. We will cover transferring images, onto your computer, tips for organizing and cataloging your images for future use. Some basic photo editing techniques to improve your work and make it your own and how to output your images as digital files and prints.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>You will need to bring a laptop with either Adobe Lightroom 3 or 4 (if you do not have, there is a trial version available). You will also need an Flash drive full of fresh images. At least 50 pictures of anything. The more random the better.</b></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>About the Presenter:</p> <p><a href="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/2/3/4/event_177413812.jpegThe" class="linkified">http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/2/3/4/event_177413812.jpegThe</a> language of photography intrigues me.  I find it to be superior to words in expressing ideas and communicating the subtext within individual stories.  And the photographic story that interests me is fashion.  Through fashion photography I explore concepts and reveal the depth and breath of beauty.  I use movement, color and light to express the uniqueness of design, garments and people. The people I work with become part of the photographic story and, in essence, part of its larger concept. I don't distinguish between commercial photography and art.  With this in mind, I apply a fine art aesthetic to each photograph I take. My style ranges from edgy to ethereal and is always provocative.  I am fortunate for the opportunity to combine beauty, art and commerce, and I work closely with each client to help make their vision a reality.

10044685 697965 <p>The Napa Valley is famous for producing some seriously powerful Cabs. There are several other very good varietals grown there and it is time to explore them.</p> <p>I did a tasting trip through Napa last month, and several wines followed me home to. Not a single one of them being a Cabernet Sauvignon. Come try some of Napa’s other offerings and some California inspired appetizers.</p> <p>As always, space is very limited; please have your final RSVP in before 2nd April 2009.</p> <p>In 2007 we started off as a wine tasting group but luckily grew and evolved to so much more. While we continue to focus on small gatherings to <strong>learn</strong> and <strong>teach each other</strong> about wine, we have sometimes branched out to have book club discussions or will cook dinner together, go see a film. All have been wine related, so far. As always, your input is encouraged. It you have an idea for a meet up, let us know! Whatever we do, we will keep our meetups small so that we can all talk to and get to know each other well.&nbsp;</p>
100446872 3342902 <p>Everyone is welcome to our group. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or just starting, you will find a place with us. Rosario and Vera were both trained in India and have been practicing meditation for several years. This meditation comes with a special blessing…</p> <p>We will be meeting until 7:00PM.</p> <p>We will accept Love Offerings.</p> <p>We started this group to help people relax &amp; bring abundance into their lives.</p> <p>During this meditation there is a transfer and realignment of energy that awakens the dormant spiritual energy within us. It does not conflict with religious beliefs, which is, after all, ultimately about reconnecting with “spirit”.</p> <p>During the meditation, energy is being transmitted and a neurological shift is occurring. An awakening to a state of “Oneness” (returning to the awareness of being part of the source of all) is occurring. This is the non-physical connection that is present.</p> <p>There is also a physical change. In fact, there is an accepted scientific term describing a physical process that is occurring” “Neoroplasticity”. This is the actual realignment of neurons and synapses of the brain to reflect changes in thought patterns. In other words, your brain physically changes as your thoughts and perceptions change.</p> <p>Participants have reported some of the following benefits:</p> <p>* Relaxes the body</p> <p>* Increases Clarity</p> <p>* Helps to quiet the mind</p> <p>* Improve Self Confidence</p> <p>* Improves health</p> <p>* Manifests abundance</p> <p>* Eliminates blocks to creation of success</p> <p>* Connects to Divine Intelligence</p> <p>* Improves memory</p> <p>* Increases comprehension</p> <p>* Enhances loving relationships</p> <p>* Heals wounds</p> <p>* Enhances energy of the body</p> <p>* Improves metabolic activity</p> <p>* Clears negative programming</p> <p>* Removes traumas stored at the cellular and energetic levels</p> <p>* Enhances the senses</p> <p>* Creates inner peace</p> <p>* Balances emotions and other states of being</p> <p>* Createsdaily joy of living</p> <p>* Manifests career success</p> <p>* Improves all relationships.</p> <p>* Increases the capacity for compassion</p> <p>There is also an actual energy transmission that occurs. And energy patterns in certain areas of the brain are deactivated while others are strengthened and energized. We begin to see reality in a way never experienced before. We also develop the awareness that our perceived reality is actually a construct of the brain/mind connection. True reality is observed: perhaps for the first time.</p> <p>The consistent of this practice can free the senses resulting in clarity of perception and spontaneous feelings of love, joy, peace, and inner silence. It dissolves negative life patterns, and facilitates deep emotional and physical healing. Eventually the process brings an end to personal suffering and awakening to the highest states of consciousness.</p>

Come to a Writers Meetup to review work, trade literary tips, make friends and have fun! All aspiring and accomplished writers are welcome! We are creating the most supportive, engaging and empowering writing group in New Jersey!</p> <p>We are creating a community of practice where people who want to learn more about writing can come and find out how exceptional writers create and maintain their effectiveness. Professional writers can hone their craft and network, while amateur and aspiring writers can learn more about the discipline and joy of writing. Become inspired to get and keep their enthusiasm, whether it's starting their own freelance writing practice, learning to write for life and business situations, or writing creatively for the sheer enjoyment of it.</p>
100447442 1135535 <p>Hey everyone! It's been a while since we've had a meetup, so don't miss out on this one - <i>who knows when the next one will be?</i></p> <p>One thing for sure, all the UFA meetups are productive and loads of fun! I don't just throw a bunch of people in a room and say there you go... I do things to make sure every event is fun, interesting and productive. While past events were very structured, this one will be more casual and social.</p> <p>While past meetups have been structured for both filmmakers and actors, this one is focused on filmmakers (those who have already made films or those who aspire to make films). Of course, however, everyone is welcome to attend. Come out and share, and hear other's, filmmaking WAR STORIES. I want to know - and hear stories - of what people have done and what they're looking to do next. Like all UFA meetings, I'm sure valuable connections will be made. Many, many people have made connections at UFA meetings that have helped them move projects forward.</p> <p>Past meetups have been at Planet Hollywood, Playwrights Horizons, St. Luke's Off-Broadway Theatre, and the National Comedy Theatre, to name a few.  Now we are meeting at the <b>Oral Fix bar at THE MUSEUM OF SEX</b> - it's a great location and a really fun atmosphere!  We are not reserving the bar exclusively, as I have done in past places, so that means <b>NO COVER CHARGE</b>. Imported Beers are <b>$5</b>, specialty cocktails are <b>$10</b> and jello shots are <b>$2</b> - YOU CAN"T BEAT THAT!</p> <p>What's more fun than drinking at the Museum of Sex bar with fellow filmmakers! This meetup will probably be more fun than a usual Saturday night. It will definitely be WAY MORE FUN than a usual Thursday night!</p> <p>Please sign up now so I have a count of people attending (there is a room limit).</p> <p>See you there!</p> <p>Welcome to the meetup site for the Indiezone.tv Local NYC chapter, a group of  filmmakers/actors dedicated to film, music, literature, and the arts, with the goal of creating, inspiring and connecting with people from the independent film and music communities. We will use our connections to introduce filmmakers, actors, and other artists with the intent to grow a more expansive and collaborative creative body that can bestow both inspiration and resources to our chapter.<br> <br> <br> The next few months of Indiezone.tv Local NYC will consist of meetings, film screenings, and music events. Some events will be free of charge; others will be set up to deliberately show our support for independent film (we cannot say we love independent film if we are not willing to support those films in the box office). Over the next year our goal is to become a cohesive, intelligent, and passionate support system that can be leaned on and circled back to as we start our own creative endeavors.<br> <br> <br> We are always looking for passionate and talented members to join Indiezone.tv.

Welcome to Sultry Salsa, your best source of information for sizzling Latin dance lessons and information about the hottest Latin nightclubs in Chicago & the Chicago Suburbs.

10045049 172957 <p>It's springtime. Come out for brunch and some fun conversations!</p> <p>My apologies for this late change in venue. The original restaurant would not able to accommodate our group this Saturday. So, we are having brunch at this nearby, 3rd Ave and 13th St., French cafe instead. We are meeting 15 minutes later to allow for extra time for some to get to the new location.</p> <p>After brunch, we'll walk over to Union Square Park for a walking tour.</p> <p>For those who cannot join us for brunch, meet us at 2:00PM at Abraham Lincoln statue by the 16th Street transverse in Union Square Park. Look for the guide holding a Union Square: Crossroads of New York sign.</p> <p>Meet others from/interested in Hong Kong/ Cantonese-speaking regions. Some are long time New Yorker and some are new to the city, get to know each other better by exploring different neighborhoods in New York City, on foot or by bicycle, playing different sports activities, and tasting different ethnic food together.</p>

100451302 306773 <p><b>What can we do to design a more resilient NYC?</b></p> <p>Following up on his talk, <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/27150033">Designing for Disaster: A Permaculture Vision for Decentralized Power</a>, Andrew Faust will continue the conversation of how we can inform and participate in designing a resilient NYC. Think smaller scale and diversified utilities and an integrated infrastructure. Learn how we can address systemic contamination from lead, mercury and radioactive waste while addressing global climate variables and shortages of all kinds.</p> <p>Andrew will articulate a clear, elegant and scientifically solid approach to renewable and integrated designs for our regional energy needs—to transition our society to a healthier economy.</p> <p>Join us for this <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Brooklyn-Permaculture-Meetup/events/95174612/">Brooklyn Permaculture Meetup!</a></p> <p>Meet other local people who support Permaculture design for sustainable human existence, and with a firm conviction to save humanity.</p>
10045195 216001 <p>On Saturday, March 28th at 8:30 p.m. hundreds of millions of people around the world will turn off their lights in the first global vote for action on climate change in history. Through the flick of a light switch, people will cast a vote for our elected representatives to take action on the climate crisis.</p> <p><br/>When I was a kid, I loved blackouts. I remember a really big one that knocked power out to all of New York City for nearly 24 hours. Every person from every house in the neighborhood came out into the street. I remember one neighbor cutting up a watermelon and handing it out to all the kids. It was so cool to feel like we were part of a tightknit community (we weren't), making like we lived in a small town (we didn't). We played hopscotch by flashlight and got to stay up way past our bedtimes.</p> <p>&gt;&gt;Find out your Carbon Footprint with this handy calculator</p> <p><a href="http://www.newsday.com/features/lifestyle/green/dp-now-epacalculator.0913,0,2836790.htmlpage"><a href="http://www.newsday.co" class="linkified">http://www.newsday.co</a>...</a></p> <p>To this day, I love it when the power goes out. It forces my family to reconnect. No TV, no computers, no distractions. Some of my fondest memories as an adult stem from the few times the power went out, playing charades with my kids by candlelight. ("Frank Sinatra doing the minuet!!! -- don't ask -- you had to be there.)</p> <p>So I get pretty excited for Earth Hour, an event created in 2007 by the World Wildlife Fund in Sydney, Australia. That first year, 2.2 million homes and businesses turned off their lights for one hour to make a statement about energy conservation. If you think that's a lot for its first year out of the gate, consider that 50 million people participated in 2008.</p> <p>And for 2009, organizers have set the bar even higher, aiming to get 1 billion people on board worldwide. This year's theme is VOTE EARTH, the premise being that by going dark for one hour at exactly 8:30 p.m. local time, regardless of where you live on the planet, you'll be casting a global vote for the Earth.</p> <p><br/>If you are going to save power...how did you do it?</p> <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_R81615I0ig" width="420" height="315" style="margin : 5px ; max-width : 700px ; max-height : 700px"></iframe> <p>Rules of Engagement...<br> <br> Fun is the priority. Kayaking and canoeing is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy nature. Many people are joining this group and do not have their own equipment. There will be one event scheduled each month starting in May to September where renting equipment will be offered.<br> <br> Members are encouraged to post their own trips on the message board and invite others to meet up and join in the fun.<br> <br> Trips should be posted as to how difficult they will be on a scale of 1 to 5, one being easy and five being strenuous. The time of the actual trip on water should also be estimated.<br> <br> At our first meeting, we discussed the problems that arise in a world concern about being sued. It was made clear that we are all adults and have to take responsibility for our own well being. It was agreed, that signing a release of liability is a fair concept. A sample of the policy is posted on our Message Board. Please take a few minutes and read it carefully.</p> <p>This is for people who enjoy kayaking. Some of our trips are to places that rent kayaks...you must check the details to be sure.</p> <p>Trips will be short and/or some overnights. (Fees will be based on associated costs).</p>

As a four-time cancer survivor, and veteran of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, Jeff knows personally a thing or two about defending life and liberty. There can be no honorable "pursuits of happiness" without defending our God-given inalienable rights, and there can be no honor without giving our "all" to preserve the Blessings of Liberty our Constitutional Republic provides.</p> <p><a href="http://rejoinordie.com/docs/DHSPLC.pdf">Jeff Lewis Heads Up The Largest "Nativist Extremist" Group States Department Of Homeland Security's Advisory Council On Countering Violent Extremism</a></p> <p>According to members of the of the DHS Advisory Council on Countering Violent Extremism, Jeff heads up the largest "nativist extremist" group in the country, <a href="http://firecoalition.com/">FIRE Coalition</a>, as reported in the Spring 2012 SPLC Intelligence Report: <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2012/spring/the-year-in-nativism"><i>"Nativist Movement Collapses Amid Infighting</i></a>." Of course, according to DHS, anyone who believes in the Constitution, limited government, and the <i>Bill of Rights</i> is a "right-wing extremist." Over the past seven years Jeff has testified before state legislatures across the country, consulted and advised federal, state, and local candidates for office on immigration, national security, and Constitutional issues including presidential candidates in the 2008 and 2012 elections, hosted National Security Conferences across the country, and worked tirelessly with Members of Congress, law enforcement, and his favorite demographic: Joe and Jane "Citizen." Jeff's motto: "To a patriot, defending life and liberty <i>IS</i> the pursuit of happiness!" The national coalitions that Jeff leads have active legislation and resolutions in Congress, as well as in state and local governments across the country, all of which are intended to restore constitutional governance and law and order to our once-great Republic.</p> <p><b>REFERENCES</p> <p></b></p> <p><b>Suggested Web links:</b></p> <p><b><a href="http://theintolerableacts.org/RESOURCES/index.html"><a href="http://theintolerableacts.org/RESOURCES/index.html" class="linkified">http://theintolerableacts.org/RESOURCES/index.html</a></a></b></p> <p><b><a href="http://blog.patriotcoalition.com/"><a href="http://blog.patriotcoalition.com/" class="linkified">http://blog.patriotcoalition.com/</a></a> See Archived Articles as well</b></p> <p>The following article by Jeff Lewis will be useful in preparing for the webinar.</p> <p><b>2013 NDAA Does Nothing to Prohibit “Indefinite Military Detention”</b></p> <p>After theatrical performances that rivaled Shakespearian theatre, the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was passed by Congress late last week [masked]) in the House, and (81-14) in the Senate. President Obama is expected to sign the bill into law despite threats to veto over various provisions.</p> <p>Of concern to many Liberty watchdogs are certain provisions in last year’s NDAA that violated numerous clauses in the Constitution, including over half of the Bill of Rights. Various amendments were proposed to the 2013 NDAA in both the House and Senate alleging to address those concerns, none of which did anything.</p> <p>The sole surviving section in the 2013 NDAA that speaks to the Rights of the People, Section 1029, does nothing at all.</p> <p><b>NDAA for FY 2013, CONFERENCE REPORT, H.R. 4310, SEC. 1029:</b></p> <p><b>RIGHTS UNAFFECTED.</b></p> <p><i>“Nothing in the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107–40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note) or the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112–81) shall be construed to deny the availability of the writ of habeas corpus or to deny any Constitutional rights in a court ordained or established by or under Article III of the Constitution to any person inside the United States who would be entitled to the availability of such writ or to such rights in the absence of such laws.” (emphasis added)</i></p> <p>There are two possible interpretations of Section 1029. The first is based on its literal meaning based on the section’s grammatical construction; the second is a practical interpretation that courts would likely apply if the literal meaning fails.</p> <p>Let’s look at the last prepositional phrase in Section 1029, which states in plain language, “in the absence of such laws.” What does that mean? The plain reading of it means “if these laws were not in effect, or did not exist.”</p> <p>Section 1029 in layman’s terms would read: “Nothing in “such laws” shall be construed to deny the availability of the writ, or to rights, for people entitled to the writ or those rights if “such laws” <i>weren’t</i> laws.” What are “such laws,” and what does “in the absence of” those laws mean?</p> <p><b>“SUCH LAWS” = “2001 AUMF &amp; 2012 NDAA”</b></p> <p><b>IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH LAWS = IF THESE LAWS WEREN’T PRESENT = IF THESE LAWS DIDN’T EXIST</b></p> <p>Since we know that the 2001 AUMF and 2012 NDAA aren’t “absent,” meaning they are “present,” then the plain grammatical analysis of Section 1029 means the following:</p> <p><b><i>If the 2001 AUMF and 2012 NDAA were not laws, then they couldn’t be construed to deny Habeas and Constitutional rights in an Article III court to persons in the U.S., but these laws do exist, and will be applied.*</i></b></p> <p>*Stating that it would apply to persons “entitled” to the writ or rights is redundant, assuming we are talking about persons “in the United States” who are not “<i>in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger</i>.”</p> <p><b>Since they "are" laws, then Section 1029 “literally” means absolutely nothing.</b></p> <p>The courts, in interpreting the statute, would interpret it in such a way as to give substantive meaning to all sections. As noted above, the literal / grammatical interpretation renders Section 1029 meaningless, i.e., its presence in, or absence from the 2013 NDAA would have no influence on the meaning of the bill. Therefore, the courts would likely fall back on an interpretation that would give Section 1029 a substantive meaning on its face.</p> <p>Senator Levin’s interpretation of Section 1029 is such that, for those persons detained in the United States -- that their rights will be determined as if the 2001 AUMF and/or 2012 NDAA never existed.</p> <p><i>“The language in this conference report reflects my view that Congress did not restrict or deny anyone’s Constitutional rights in either the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force or the Fiscal Year 2012 National Defense Authorization Act.”</i></p> <p><i>– <a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CREC-2012-12-21/pdf/CREC-2012-12-21-pt1-PgS8325-2.pdf#page=9">Senator Levin, Dec. 21, 2012</a></i></p> <p>On Sept. 12, 2012, Federal judge Katherine Forrest ruled that Senator Levin’s assessment is incorrect. (See Hedges v. Obama ruling.)</p> <p>Without the 2001 AUMF and 2012 NDAA, unless there was another enabling law, there would be no statutory authority to detain persons “pending disposition under the laws of war.”</p> <p>Had Congress intended to prohibit the application of the “law of war” in the United States, they would have “explicitly” done so. They did not. Robert A. Heinlein, a former naval officer and Annapolis grad, better known as the “dean of science fiction” stated, “<i>The best lie is the truth. Only tell them the part you want them to know</i>.”</p> <p>This is what Congress has done in both the 2012 and 2013 NDAA’s. Section 1029 of the 2013 NDAA is a fine example of “best lie” tactics.</p> <p>H.R. 4310, 2013 NDAA Conference Report, Section 1029: <b>RIGHTS UNAFFECTED</b>. The phrase “Rights Unaffected” in the section title is a continuation in the 2013 NDAA of the deceptive techniques used in the language and discussion of the 2012 NDAA, and is meant to inject confusion and to mislead the American public and others as to the actual effect of the law.</p> <p>For example, 2012 NDAA, Section 1021 was titled: “<b>AFFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES TO DETAIN COVERED PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE.</b>” A clear and plain reading of Section 1021 reveals it was an expansion of both the scope of the authorization, and targeting profile of covered persons.</p> <p>Section 1022 was titled <b>“Military Custody for Foreign Al-Qaeda Terrorists”</b> implies that Section 1022 only relates to the custody of “foreign Al-Qaeda terrorists.” This is patently false, as it applies to U.S. citizens as well. Section 1022(b)(1) “[Applicability to] United States Citizens” authorized the military detention of U.S. citizens at the military’s discretion.</p> <p>There is no consensus as to what section 1029 does or does not do, except perhaps, in that it diverts attention away from the fundamental problem. Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Presidents Bush and Obama, with the assistance of Congress, have systematically dismantled the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Intolerable acts like these were stated reasons in the Declaration of Independence for severing ties with England.</p> <p>Neither the President nor Congress has the constitutional authority to turn “rights” into “privileges” to be metered out by the Executive Branch.</p> <p>The U.S. Supreme Court, in <i><a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/71/2#writing-USSC_CR_0071_0002_ZS">Ex Parte Milligan (71 U.S. 2, Syllabus)</a>,</i> drew the following conclusions. The reference below to the authority of military commissions “in a State not invaded and not engaged in rebellion” speaks directly to the Article I, Section 9 requirements regarding the suspension of habeas corpus, and the phrase “in which the Federal courts were open” speaks to a requirement in the “laws of war” that persons not recognized as “lawful combatants” be turned over to civilian authorities if the courts are open.</p> <p>They also addressed the exceptions contained within the 5th Amendment to the Constitution which allow detention without “presentment or indictment” by a Grand Jury for those persons serving in the “land or naval forces.” Lastly, they affirmed that Congress could not invest ‘military commissions” with any such power.</p> <p><i>7. Military commissions organized during the late civil war, in a State not invaded and not engaged in rebellion, in which the Federal courts were open, and in the proper and unobstructed exercise of their judicial functions, had no jurisdiction to try, convict, or sentence for any criminal offence, a citizen who was neither a resident of a rebellious State nor a prisoner of war, nor a person in the military or naval service. And Congress could not invest them with any such power.</i></p> <p>U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Chase, in a separate opinion in the Milligan case, that Congress cannot “establish and apply the laws of war” where no war has been declared, or where no war exists.</p> <p>There has been no war declared against the United States, and the random acts of criminals who dislike or hate the United States does not satisfy the requirement that a “war exists” in the United States. Chief Justice Chase, in exercising Jefferson’s advice to “bind them down from mischief” with the “chains of the Constitution,” when he stated the following:</p> <p>Chief Justice Chase, (<i><a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/71/2#writing-USSC_CR_0071_0002_ZX">also from Ex Parte Milligan, 71 U.S. 2, Separate opinion</a></i>) stated:</p> <p><i>“We by no means assert that Congress can establish and apply the laws of war where no war has been declared or exists.” (emphasis added)</i></p> <p>Some Members of Congress will lie to the American people and affirmatively try to deceive us as the effect of laws they have passed under the pretense of “national defense.” Senator Lindsey Graham spoke at length on the floor of the United States Senate during the final debate of the 2013 NDAA that the President should have the authority to deny U.S. citizens their Constitutional rights. Not once in his speech did Senator Graham utter one syllable of concern that Section 1029 would hinder that authority.</p> <p>In fact, his assessment directly conflicts with that of the proponents of Section 1029, including twice praising President Obama for assassinating a U.S. citizen who was not on a battlefield, who was “out of combat” according to the laws of war, who was not charged with a crime, who was denied legal counsel, who was denied a trial by a jury of his peers, etc... in direct defiance of the “laws of war” he claims to know so well.</p> <p>Senator Graham stated on December 21, 2012, during the final debate of the 2013 NDAA,</p> <p><i>“…If we find an American citizen helping the enemy overseas—this President ordered the killing by drone of al-Awlaki, an American citizen overseas— I believe it was Yemen—and the President said: I have ample evidence he is now assisting al-Qaida overseas to attack American targets and I am going to take him out. Well done, Mr. President. Well done, Mr. President.”</i></p> <p><i>“…There has never been a war in America where somebody within the American citizen community did not collaborate with the enemy. That is happening today. When that day comes and we capture that person, I want as an option the ability to hold them as an enemy combatant, as we did in other wars. They will get their day in court, but they will not be read their rights or given a lawyer on the spot because that would stop intelligence gathering.”</i></p> <p><i>“…They are seeking aid and comfort from Americans within our own country who are going to side with the enemy, unfortunately. When that day comes, I wish to make sure we have the ability in this war, as in every other war, to hold them and to gather intelligence—“</i></p> <p><a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CREC-2012-12-21/pdf/CREC-2012-12-21-pt1-PgS8325-2.pdf#page=9">- Senator Lindsey Graham, from the Congressional Record, Dec. 21, 2012</a></p> <p>The 30-year military lawyer from South Carolina voted “for” <a href="http://theintolerableacts.org/docs/Conf-Report-112HRPT-705.pdf">the final bill</a>, as did <a href="http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=112&amp;session=2&amp;vote=00229">80 other U.S. Senators</a>. The 2013 NDAA Conference Report did not need Senator Graham’s vote to pass, and it is doubtful, with his strong convictions that he would have voted for the 2013 NDAA if Section 1029 undermined his agenda.</p> <p><a href="http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2012/roll645.xml">315 Congressmen</a> also voted. 87% of the Congressional Constitution Caucus voted for final passage, 12% more than the 72% that voted for the 2012 NDAA. Obviously, things are going in the wrong direction if securing the “Blessings of Liberty” is the goal.</p> <p>Either the Constitution of the United States is the “supreme Law of the Land,” or it is not.

10046029 229690 <p>This social group has been meeting for approximately eight years with various members joining and dropping out. We have planned various outings and found that bowling is a great way to keep everyone focused in one area - they sit together and have the opportunity to talk, etc.</p> <p>After bowling we go for pizza (or lunch) and again it gives them the opportunity to sit around the table and socialize. Willowbrook is a great location because of the access to major expressways. We have people involved from everywhere in the Chicago area. My son met a best friend about eight years ago as a result of this group. This gives the participants something social to look forward to if they have difficulty making and keeping friends.</p> <p>Parents stay throughout the bowling and join the lunch.</p> <p>The following are the details:</p> <p>2:00 to 3:30 PM Bowling:<br/>Willowbrook Lanes<br/>735 Plainfield Road, Hinsdale, IL 60427<br/>[masked]</p> <p>Cost: $3.00 per game; $3.00 shoe rental</p> <p>After bowling:<br/>Giordano's<br/>641 Plainfield<br/>Willowbrook<br/>[masked]</p> <p>The cost for lunch/dinner is usually about $10.00 to $15.00 or so per person.</p> <p>Welcome to CASPAN, the Chicago Autism SPectrum Adult (and Teen) Network!

We additionally have groups just for Women on the Spectrum and the LBGTQ Community on the Spectrum. In addition to the monthly support groups, we have more casual social activities. Keeping the needs of people with Asperger's in mind, these social outings periodically meet at various locations. We have also attended and tabled at a number of autism conferences around the Midwest. We are always looking for suggestions for future activities, discussion topics, and new groups.

If you are in need of long runs, let me know and I will arrange it as well.

100467192 4380052 <p>I have made reservations for dinner next Saturday, 26 at 6:00 pm at Coobah (Lake View). The idea is to have fun!! Like always and practice Spanish. Everybody is invited, all levels, native speakers and no natives!<br/>I am going to be there at 6:00 pm or maybe a little bit late. For any doubts call me at[masked]-2151.<br/>I have tried the Hanger Steak there and it was excellent! Anyways if you do not want dinner you can always order something to drink!<br/>Hope to see you there!</p> <p>Mara :)</p> <p>Are you trying to practice your Spanish in a fun way? I am a Spanish teacher and I encourage my students to go to events to emerge in the Latin culture. My vision is to organize events so that people meet new people, practicing Spanish and having fun in the mean time. I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I still remember my adolescence, when I used to sneak from my English classes to hang out with my friends and failed all the exams. Actually, I hated English because it was something imposed by my parents and society in order to have better career opportunities in the future. My interest in languages started at the age of 24 (in 2007) years old, when I met one of my best American friends in boring Spanish/English Institute. We first met each other in the hallway of that Institute; she approached to me with a nice smile and said that she wanted to learn Spanish. My English improved drastically because I related English with a fun experience. This is my vision, but with Samish. I want people relate Spanish with a fun experience.</p>

Set in the bedroom of a plantation home in the Mississippi Delta, the play tells the story of rich cotton tycoon Big Daddy Pollitt, who is about to celebrate his 65th birthday and is distraught over the troubled relationship between his beloved son Brick and Brick's determined wife Maggie. Brick is an ex-football hero who has turned to drinking, and Maggie yearns for a more fulfilling life and the security of knowing that she and Brick will inherit the Pollitt estate. (Brick's brother Gooper and his wife Mae have other ideas.) <i>Cat on a Hot Tin Roof</i> explores the relationships within a family whose stifled social and sexual behavior bubbles over in startlingly dramatic ways.</p> <p>SHOULD I SEE IT?</p> <p><b>What Is <i>Cat on a Hot Tin Roof</i> Like?</b><br/>This is the third revival of <i>Cat On a Hot Tin Roof</i> in the past decade, a play famous for its Southern-style decadence and its grand, desperate, tragic and lavish speeches. Over the course of one hot summer night at the family estate in Mississippi, the most cutting and brutally honest lines are tossed, unpleasant truths emerge and greed, lies and repressed sexuality reach a boiling point.

I don't know about you but I find it very upsetting when I go to the doctor and complain about the pain and they seem to ignore me or because I don't look crippled they don't take me seriously. Instead of giving me something to ease the pain they give me something that does nothing for the pain.</p> <p>We will discuss treatments, doctors, painkillers, and anything relevant to living with back pain.</b></p> If you suffer from chronic back pain or any chronic pain due to arthritis and want to meet with others dealing with the same problems then this is the group for you.

Hedda has recently married a kind and reliable yet unexciting scholar. She is visited by two old acquaintances: a female schoolmate and another scholar. The former has saved the latter from an unsavory lifestyle, helping him find success as a writer; Hedda is resentful both of his talent and her schoolmate’s influence on it. Out of jealousy and boredom, she proceeds to destroy each of the people around her, and finally herself. Is Hedda a heroine, a villain, a victim… or all of the above?</p> <p><b>GENERAL ADMISSION SEATING.<br/>NO ASSIGNED SEATING SO WE WILL SIT TOGETHER AS A GROUP. </b></p> <p><b>YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PURCHASING YOUR OWN TICKET. </b></p> <p><b>Tickets: $15.00 </b><br/><a href="https://www.ticketturtle.com/index.php?theatre=raven?theatre=raven?theatre=raven"><a href="https://www.ticketturtle.com/index.php?theatre=raven?theatre=raven?theatre=raven" class="linkified">https://www.ticketturtle.com/index.php?theatre=raven?theatre=raven?theatre=raven</a></a></p> <p><b>HOTTIX DISCOUNTED TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE<br/>$7.50 at Outlets<br/>$13.25 Online through Ticketmaster ($7.50 + $5.75 Service Charges)</b><br/><a href="http://www.hottix.org/"><a href="http://www.hottix.org/" class="linkified">http://www.hottix.org/</a></a></p> <p>Raven Theatre<br/><a href="http://www.raventheatre.com/index.shtml">&lt;a href="http://www.raventheatre.com" target="_blank"&gt;<a href="http://www.raventheat" class="linkified">http://www.raventheat</a>...</a>&lt;/a&gt;</p> <p>PHONE &amp; FAX NUMBERS:<br/>Box Office &amp; General Info:[masked]<br/>Fax:[masked]</p> <p>ADDRESS:<br/>6157 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60660</p> <p>LOCATION &amp; DIRECTIONS:<br/>The theatre is located at 6157 North Clark Street, on the corner of Clark and Granville. 15 minutes from the Eden's Expressway (Peterson exit east) and 5 minutes from the north end of Lake Shore Drive.</p> <p>PARKING:<br/>Free parking is available in their lot.

Wingate Auditorium. Doors open at 4:00 PM, show time 5:00 PM sharp. Convenient parking is available, see you there to miss it is a sin!</p> <p>Caribbean theater has always been a wonderful and vibrant art form throughout the West Indies for many decades. However Islands such as Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, and Barbados integrate stage plays into their cultures to a higher degree compared to other smaller Islands. Despite their similarities in theater these three Islands still differ in their own unique way. To the above right is the cast of "A Mother's Scorn". The cast consists of people from Islands such as Jamaica, Trinidad, Cayman Islands, and Puerto Rico who are all talented actors. Also, seen here are the host, and a few members of the stage crew. Thus, the cast of "A Mother's Scorn" was featured in "Everybody's Magazine" in the 2008 Spring issue by the magazine's owner Mr. Herman Hall who also attended their first show in Bloomfield, New Jersey.</p> <p>The play "A Mother's Scorn" is based on sexual abuse in an affluent family's home in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. The play is powerful, enlightening, remarkably magnificent, and comical. It shows the reality that occurs in everyday life of people globally. Plus, it diverts the attention away from low-income neighborhoods that experience sexual abuse and domestic violence in the home due to socioeconomic problems in most cases. It reminds us all that when it comes to race, color, religion, power, wealth, and class sexual abuse and domestic violence affects all different kinds of people. Thus, affluent people experience the same type of abuse, but exercise the advantage to conceal their personal family issues due to money and power. Meanwhile, poor families are perceived as bait for the media, and this is why we hear more about their cases compared to affluent families. Come out and see the play you will enjoy every minute of it all.</p> <p style="text-align : center"><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : medium"><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/b/b/e/event_320407102.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px"></span></p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : medium">The New York Black Business Network, New York Black Expo and the New York Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce created this meetup group with the purpose of organizing a city wide network of business owners and entrepreneurs.

Paved, dirt/small rocks or a combination. No rock scrambles.</p> <p>Note on <b>PACE</b>:<br/>As with my hikes, there are planned stops and I also will stop AS NEEDED if someone is out of breath or gets a cramp etc.<br/>With these walks, I will make sure the pace is suitable for ALL. If someone needs to go slower - we will go slower. It's not a race and we are not training for a race.<br/>As with my hikes, there are varying degrees of fitness and experience and I am always aware of and accomodate differences in levels. Please be understanding and patient with your fellow members!</p> <p><br/>HERE ARE THE BASICS:</p> <p>I have picked 10 walks that meet the above criteria in WESTCHESTER and ROCKLAND</p> <p>We will start at 1:00 and end by 3:00 (approx 2 hours to walk and talk)<br/>Our talk may take place indoors after the walk or outdoors as applicable and if weather permits (if we go out to eat we'll go past 3:00)</p> <p> I'm really excited about this series and preparing for it has been alot of fun too!</p> <p>Please email me directly if you have any questions or if you have health concerns.</p> <p>Hope to see you soon!</p> <p>~paula</p> <p>Hi,<br> I'm Paula, the organizer for this Hikers Group. My group was the first Hiking Meetup group in the area and has grown from 73 members when I became the organizer in March 2005 to over 1,100 in March 2011!!<br> All are welcome to join, but know that the hikes will be moderate in pace, distance &amp; terrain and unless specifically stated - these are not strolls or walks - they can be a challenge!</p> <p>*Keep in mind - it's all relative to your level of fitness and experience... for some my hikes and PDT may be difficult, for some on the easy side. READ the descriptions, rsvp YES and come on out - you never know what you can do until you try!! :)</p> <p>I invite you to read the posts on the first page of the message board for more information on how I run this group (How to get into a hike, etc) and the hikes and events I've had in the past.

10048913 697965 <p>This meet up is a two-parter. You see on the calender the wine tasting at Chamber Street Wines on Sunday April 26th? Well, I am very very excited about that one. Louis Dressner is my favorite importer. When I am contemplating buy a wine and I flip it over and see their label, I stop contemplating and buy it because I trust their taste and their quality standards. Learn more about them at their website by clicking <a href="http://louisdressner.com/">here</a>. Also check out Joe Dressner's <a href="http://www.datamantic.com/joedressner/">blog</a>.</p> <p>Listed below are the wine makers who will be at the tasting on April 26th. Isn't that exciting that the actual wine makers will be there for you to talk to and taste their product! I think it is. I think it is so exciting that I want us to be prepared, so this meet up is a cram session for us to learn about the wine and wine maker before we meet them. So here is what we are going to do: Pick a number from the list below, enter that number in your rsvp along with the name, pick up a bottle of his wine and research as much as you can about the wine maker, but together a hand out to give to all the members attending and may a brief presentation of the wine before we serve it. I have checked out these wine makers and was able to find a lot of info on then so this is not as scary of a task as you may think. If 14 people don't sign up, I may need people willing to take on two wine makers.</p> <p><br/>1. Eric Texier (Rhone and Maconnais);<br/>2. Claude-Emmanuelle and Louis-Benoit Desvignes (Morgon);<br/>3. Pierre and Pierre-Marie Luneau, Domaine Luneau-Papin (Muscadet);<br/>4. Franck Peillot (Bugey);<br/>5. Christian Chaussard (Jasnières);<br/>6. Francois Pinon (Vouvray);<br/>7. Alessandra Bera, (Piedmont);<br/>8. Arianna Occhipinti (Sicily);<br/>9. Nadia Verrua, Cascina 'Tavijn (Piedmont);<br/>10. Stefano Bellotti, Cascina degli Ulivi (Piedmont);<br/>11. Luca Roagna (Piedmont);<br/>12. Cristiana Guttarolo (Puglia);<br/>13. Mauro Vergano (Chinati);<br/>14. Silvio Messana, Montesecondo (Chianti)</p> <p>In 2007 we started off as a wine tasting group but luckily grew and evolved to so much more. While we continue to focus on small gatherings to <strong>learn</strong> and <strong>teach each other</strong> about wine, we have sometimes branched out to have book club discussions or will cook dinner together, go see a film. All have been wine related, so far. As always, your input is encouraged. It you have an idea for a meet up, let us know! Whatever we do, we will keep our meetups small so that we can all talk to and get to know each other well.&nbsp;</p>
100489682 6616792 <p>Last Thursday was great, we had a few people from Meetup.com join us and the action was tremendous, including some BLIND all ins and calls (true gambling - aka "flips"). A couple of the new players left winners and overall we had a blast, the game went very late into the night.</p> <p>Join us on Tuesday for more small stakes action! Get on my text list for updates about games and tournaments by emailing me at [masked] with your name and phone number, and I will contact you in the evening and fill you in on the details.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Chris</p> <p>I host poker games at my studio a few times a week, we play from around 8pm until we get tired, often very late. Right now we play $1-2 No Limit Holdem and Im starting a $2-5 and an Omaha night soon. The game is in a great area in prime Williamsburg, and I have a nice full sized 10 handed poker table with comfy chairs, custom ceramic chips and KEM cards, drinks and snacks. Sometimes one of the players brings some Whiskey to sip on. Its a pretty casual game, a very friendly crowd of all ages and ethnicities, we order food and watch sports on an HDTV. People talk trash and try to bust each other with 7-2. Fun times, great group of friendly players, and the action is sick. If you want to join us <strong>EMAIL me with your NAME and PHONE#</strong> and I will call you after 6pm and answer any questions you have.</p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size : large"><strong>williamsburgpokerclub@gmail.com</strong></span></p>

We'd love to have you join us!</p>
100489972 4791792 <p>Bethpage park is great this time of year. When it's really cold, we go out to have fun. No hard work. We will determine the difficulty level and length of the ride depending on who shows up. We can start from scratch for anyone who wants. Or we can ride a little harder if we want. This park does not have any advanced sections. It's intermediate at most. The difficulty level maxes out at a 5 out of 10. It is a beginners ride, so if beginners come we will make it a start up ride. Basics will be taught, bikes gone over and trails ridden. All fun stuff. Contact me for any tips on clothing or other prep needed to ride in the cold. Hope to see you all.</p> <p>I started this club To give mountain Bikers a place to meet and ride off road in a noncompetitive atmosphere.  I set up this site to allow members to post rides themselves, to meet with other Stone Age members, to all ride together.  Their are a few required rules to posting rides on this site, as the founder and organizer, I set these guidelines to keep people safe and informed, as well as to make sure the rides follow the basic philosophies that the club was originally set up to promote. As Organizer, I reserve the right to cancel any ride that has been posted, if I feel it is not safe or follow the basic philosophies of the club.  In order to post rides, First you have to have been on a ride already with me.  If you have never been on one of our rides, you simply will not be able to post a ride of your own. You need to have the noncompetitive philosophy and just be riding for the fun of it, whether fast or slow.  When posting a ride, in addition to your own info, the description of the ride should contain length of ride in time and difficulty level in a 1 - 10 format where 10 is the most difficult.  If info is not known about the area or trails,  the ride should be announced as an "exploration" ride and everyone who shows up must be ready for whatever comes along.   As a rule, It is important to remember that all riders are responsible for there own well being.  Stone Age MTB and Meetup.com is in no way responsible for the safety of you or your equipment.  Although we ride as a group,   everyone is an individual and is 100% responsible for themselves.  As a group someone will always be there to help and advise, but be prepared with what ever you think you might need to bring on the rides. All our rides require the basics.  A helmet, water and a functioning mountain bike, that means brakes that stop and gears that shift.  A hybrid bike or other types of bikes would not be advised as your safety and the safety of other members would be compromised.  There will always be someone with tools and supplies to help out if needed, but it is important to show up with a bicycle that has been checked out and functional.  The meetup spot is not the time to check your bike to see if its ok.  Although our group is not going to be scheduling many novice rides any longer,  There will be instead a series of "Bike Rodeos" that myself and other members will be doing to help new comers get acquainted with Mountain biking in a safe fun way.  There will be a few rodeos throughout the year.  The  name Stone Age Mountain Bikers was chosen because the club is geared towards men and women over 40. This is not a rule, only a guideline. Young riders and racers already have enough ways to meet and ride together. We need a place as well.  When I started Mountain Biking in 1984, after a pathetic stint road racing. I wish I had someone who was willing to take there time and knowledge to teach me basic techniques and to help and encourage me. I learned  training for and racing NORBA races and riding all the original trails on rigid bikes.  Become a Stone Age Mountain Biker, get started riding with people who ride like you.</p>

10049100 257664 <p>Well, I came upon a Pug of God,<br/>He was strutting along the road<br/>And I asked him "Tell me where you're going"<br/>This he told me...</p> <p>Said "I'm going to the NNJPE<br/>Gonna join in a fun-filled Pug meet,<br/>Got to get back to the group<br/>Where I can run free."</p> <p>We're Pugaholics,<br/>Our Pugs are Golden (Fawn and Black too!);<br/>We travel from near and far<br/>And we got to get ourselves over to Pugstock!</p> <p> (Okay, okay...focus Ellen, focus...)</p> <p><br/>Hello Everyone!</p> <p>It's time for the NNJPE's 3rd anniversary celebration, Pugstock! Time to get out those bell bottoms, fringed vests, nehru-collared shirts, Pucci print mini dresses and go go boots and join us as we relive the decade of the 1960's! Hippies, Yippies and Puggie Yappers; all are welcome...it'll be a gas!</p> <p>There will be 60's songs playing on the photograph (subliminal-ipod), and D.J. team Dave 'n' Danyelle will be on hand to play your favorites! Plenty of groovy things will be a-happening to get you in the mood at this 2 hour event, and both Pugs and Their Humans are encouraged to dress in themed outfits; we will have a couple of special prizes for the best Puggie and Person households donning their appropriate digs...can you *dig* it ?!? (I know I can...) For those needing inspiration, check out <a href="http://www.soul-flower.com/">Soul Flower.com</a> and <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Northern-New-Jersey-Pug/messages/boards/thread/6995359">Mia Pias Closet.com</a>.</p> <p>In honor of our anniversary and to thank all of you for your support of the NNJPE, this event will be a fee-free meetup; so fab! As always; your human and/or Puggie food contribution is greatly appreciated. (In lieu of bringing something, you can always contribute to the "Pizza Fund"!) There is no doubt in my mind that this will be a "sell-out" event, so please RSVP accordingly and be sure to update your RSVP if your plans change. Additionally; due to space restrictions, there will be a 3 person per household limitation on this event, so please be considerate of your fellow NNJPE members and do not exceed this number (if you do, we will *graffiti* your vehicle with peace signs and flower power decals...) As always, the *non-fictitious* address and directions will be sent to all attendees a couple of days prior to the event.</p> <p>There will be surprise giveaways and tons of Puggie fun at this shindig, so *groove with us on this Sunday afternoon* and be there, or be square!</p> <p>Until then; hang loose!</p> <p>Peace, Love, Rock 'n' Roll and Plenty of Puggie Kisses to all!<br/>Ellen, along with Jeanne, Jennifer and Josie</p> <p>This meetup is "going to the dogs"...Pugs to be precise!!!</p> <p>Okay, so you're owned by a Pug; that goes without saying! I am too, as are many others. Why do we love these big-eyed, wrinkle-faced Pugsters so much? There are so many reasons, &amp; that's reason enough to join the NNJPE!</p> <p>Our steadily-growing group of friendly Pugaholics &amp; their Pugs meet for outings once a month (with "special events" tossed in for good measure), in order to provide our furbabies (&amp; ourselves) some time for socialization &amp; out-in-out fun!</p> <p>Playtime's great, but giving back to the community is also important, &amp; we make a conscious effort to host &amp; participate in charitable events; all net proceeds go to the featured organization. We are also active with Pug Rescue &amp; in helping to find needy Pugs their "forever homes".</p> <p>I encourage members to get involved; suggestions for outings are always welcome. Additionally, our message board is always available for any questions, comments, or concerns you might have in regard to the care &amp; maintenence of your beloved four-legged family member!</p> <p>Well; why wait any longer? If you "Got Pug", then get going &amp; join the NNJPE today! We're looking forward to meeting you!</p> <p><br> Kind Regards,<br> Ellen<br> Group Organizer, NNJPE</p>

Through pragmatic monthly workshop discussions, lectures, master class series, concert and recital performances, competitions, outreach programs and education for singers, accompanists and the broader public, ASPS plans to ensure that New York&rsquo;s classical singers, accompanists and art song enthusiasts always have access to performing and/or appreciating this area of classical vocal literature through the financial support of patrons and grants for the arts. ASPS also promotes the art song through showcasing the talents of a roster of singers who make up this unique art song company. ASPS will advance the art song by servicing three groups: 1) singers, teachers, accompanists, and performers; 2) composers and academic researchers and 3) non-singing enthusiasts and the public community. The organization is designed to help these groups explore and develop a sense of the rich repertoire by such great composers as Schubert, Strauss, Wolf, Faure, Duparc, Debussy, Purcell, Dowland, Britten, Barber, Duke, Rorem and many more including contemporary composers of the genre. Our organization gives emerging and established composers of the art song a place to make themselves known to their key public &ndash; singers, teachers, accompanists and enthusiasts! Since the text from an art song is derived from poetry, the fact that it is the unification of two art forms - the poetic text and music &ndash; makes it one of the greatest (albeit oftentimes most neglected) gifts in the realm of classical music. When the ideal proportions are met: the heartfelt piano accompaniment, the exquisite voice and the endearing poetry; one cannot help but be affected by it. It touches the mind. It touches the soul. It touches humanity. This is a refuge for emerging concert recitalists! &ldquo;If Music Be The Food of Love, Sing on, Sing on, Sing on!&rdquo;. So if you have a genuine interest in the fusion of word and tone, rhythm of language, and the quality and beauty of the human voice, come experience the exuberance and joy of art song singing.

100492202 1524241 <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><b>HAVE YOUR SKIN LESIONS REMOVED SAFELY AND NON-INVASIVELY BY</b></p> <p><b>DR. ADIEL TEL-OREN SAFE AND PAINLESS SKIN LESION REMOVAL</b></p> <p><br/>Do you have disturbing moles, skin tags, keratosis and other lesions on your body? ALL TYPES of skin lesions can be removed - birth marks, moles, blemishes, freckles, senile hemangiomas, solar/actinic keratoses, seborrheic keratoses, enlarged pores (associated with prior "back heads"), sebaceous cysts, son spots, hormonal lesions, Xanthelasmas, fatty deposits, viral warts and molluscum, condylomas, and more suspicious lesions (flat and dark or rough). Are you not clear if they are potentially dangerous? Dr. T promotes "EcoRaw Living" as a model for optimal cellular health and the principles of sustainability. The skin is the largest organ for cleansing and achieving optimum health. <b>How are they Removed?</b> Dr. Tel-Oren lightly applies to the lesion his safe, effective non-medical liquid - modified trichloracetic acid (similar yet gentler than the one mentioned in the AMA Journal, April 8, 1972, p 210: and Obstet &amp; Gnec. Audio-digest Vol 20 #2, Jn 23, 1973). Even small children can tolerate the slight burning sensation (similar to a mosquito bite). The lesion's nutrition is restricted by the liquid, which causes the circulation to constrict. </p> <p>The best results are achieved with growths on the face (any size!).  Mild de-pigmentation may occasionally occur on the arms, legs &amp; torso, especially when melanin-containing or cancer - prone flat areas are treated.  Any deeper layer of pigment that might remain can be safely retreated, as no blood vessels are penetrated. <img src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101093164665/newshightech-06.jpg" /> <b><br/>Treatment Charge</b> Free evaluation of skin lesions $75-$150 for the first lesion treatment, based on size, location and complexity. <br/>The second lesion is $35-$75; the third is $25-$50.<br/>Additional lesions are $15-$45 each (quantity discount applies.)</p> <p><b>TO MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT, GO TO:</b></p> <p><a href="http://www.doctorTevents.com/">www.doctorTevents.com</a> (Look for Skin Clinic, New York City or Ramsey, NJ)</p> <p><br/>All net income is donated to educational &amp; environmental charities: Dr. T's School for Orphans, (The Everest Learning Academy ELA)</p> <p>in Nepal and Real Kids Real Food (OHS after school program).  Dr. T leads fantastic treks which also support ELA</p> <p>&lt;a target="_blank"&gt;Click here to see Dr. T's Everett Learning Academy in Nepal&lt;/a&gt;</p> <p>You can sign up for Dr. T's March[masked] Eco-Trek and learn more details by    &lt;a target="_blank"&gt;clicking here.&lt;/a&gt;</p> <p>  </p> <p> </p> <p>The New Jersey Raw Food Support Network was started to provide health and nutrition information for the raw food lifestyle in New Jersey.

ASPS also promotes the art song through showcasing the talents of a roster of singers who make up this unique art song company. ASPS will advance the art song by servicing three groups: 1) singers, teachers, accompanists, and performers; 2) composers and academic researchers and 3) non-singing enthusiasts and the public community. The organization is designed to help these groups explore and develop a sense of the rich repertoire by such great composers as Schubert, Strauss, Wolf, Faure, Duparc, Debussy, Purcell, Dowland, Britten, Barber, Duke, Rorem and many more including contemporary composers of the genre. Our organization gives emerging and established composers of the art song a place to make themselves known to their key public &ndash; singers, teachers, accompanists and enthusiasts! Since the text from an art song is derived from poetry, the fact that it is the unification of two art forms - the poetic text and music &ndash; makes it one of the greatest (albeit oftentimes most neglected) gifts in the realm of classical music. When the ideal proportions are met: the heartfelt piano accompaniment, the exquisite voice and the endearing poetry; one cannot help but be affected by it. It touches the mind. It touches the soul. It touches humanity. This is a refuge for emerging concert recitalists! &ldquo;If Music Be The Food of Love, Sing on, Sing on, Sing on!&rdquo;. So if you have a genuine interest in the fusion of word and tone, rhythm of language, and the quality and beauty of the human voice, come experience the exuberance and joy of art song singing. The Art Song Preservation Society of NY: Where music speaks and words sing! To learn more about ASPS you can visit our website at www.ArtSongPreservationSocietyNY.org.</p>
100494032 1789346 <p>Dan Rindler, GCFP, director of Child'Space NYC presents an intro class for children who would benefit from more individualized attention. It is a wonderful option both for infants who receive services through Early Intervention, and for those who were denied services (or never evaluated) but for whom concerns remain. It can be a helpful additional program for children who are undergoing physical therapy or other therapies. Child’Space NYC is a privately offered class, and has no connection to the EI program. All babies are welcome in all Child'Space classes, but this class with it's small maximum size allows for much more individualized work. Bond with your baby and learn to support their development through touch, movement and song!</p> <p>Pre-Registration Required - click here to register. <a href="http://childspacenyc.com/Register_Tues_1_SSBL.html" class="linkified">http://childspacenyc.com/Register_Tues_1_SSBL.html</a></p> <p>This group is for parents who are interested in meeting other Brooklyn parents, attending organized events for our blog and more.</p> <p>All members get a FREE subscription to Time Out New York Kids.

The web is moving forward, but content is still holding us back. Locked into inflexible pages and documents, most content is far from ready for today's world of responsive sites, apps, APIs, and read-later services—much less for the coming one, where the web is embedded in everything from autos to appliances.</p> <p>We can't create more content for all of these devices and channels. We'd go nuts trying to manage and maintain all of it. Instead, we need content that does more for us: Content that's structured and defined so it can travel and shift while keeping its meaning and message intact.</p> <p>But structured content isn't just about your CMS. It affects your whole organization. In this talk, you'll learn to revisit legacy content and add the structure and metadata needed to make it more flexible. Perhaps even more important, you'll learn to use mobile as an opportunity to break down departmental walls, rethink your organization’s workflow, and become more customer-centric.</p> <p><b>Event Details</b></p> <p>In addition to the talk, Sara will be giving away five (5) copies of her book, <i>Content Everywhere: Strategy and Structure for Future-Ready Content</i>. If you'd like to purchase a copy prior to the event, you can do so by visiting <a href="http://rosenfeldmedia.com/books/content-everywhere/">Rosenfeld Media</a>. CS-NYC members will receive a 25% discount by entering the code SWB.</p> <p>Please be sure to RSVP with the full first and last name of all attendees, including guests, due to building security requirements.

This is not a group for vendors or those selling to our membership. If you are not an online retailer, we don't want you in this group.</p> <p>The plan is to host monthly meetings in or near Elmhurst, IL and discuss topics like Facebook, Twitter, SEO, SEM, Email and all things related to Internet marketing. We had a more informal group of about 8 to 10 business owners from the Chicagoland area that have met up a few times. With this group, we want to set up a more formal and regular schedule.</p> <p>If you are a business doing approximately&nbsp;$1 Million or more online, this group is perfect for you. The $1 Million is not an absolute threshold. We just want to get experienced online marketers who are looking to improve their businesses.</p> <p>Many of our group members are much larger then $1 Million in sales. It's great to get a nice mix of smaller and larger companies to see what they are doing concerning the topic for the MeetUp.</p> <p>What's encouraging is the people that have attended are coming back the next month and in several instances bringing friends.</p> <p>So far our first MeetUp was about Facebook, with sessions on CPC, Testing, Personalization, SEO, CPC, Catalogs Integration and other topics are in the plans for future MeetUps. Members can lead the discussions and are encouraged to bring up a topic to the group.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

100497002 1395246 <p>This event is part of a non-profit concert series called <a href="http://sanctuaryconcerts.org/">Sanctuary Concerts</a> that I have been joyfully attending for several years. Free coffee, tea, and other soft drinks and snacks are provided during intermission, and the performers are generally available for autographs and pictures after the show.  The acoustics are great and it is all run by volunteers.  I love seeing shows there!</p> <p>The headliner is the <b>Eilen Jewell Band</b>, and opening will be <b>Little Toby Walker</b></p> <p><img src="http://sanctuaryconcerts.org/images/EilenJewell.jpg" /></p> <p>Here is a link to one of the band's, songs <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uOT2ajBEWE">Shakin All Over</a> and one of Toby Walker's, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNKAVOa5Gok">He's Got A Way With The Women</a>.  For fuller descriptions of both artists and links to their web sites, go to the concert web site <a href="http://sanctuaryconcerts.org/">Sanctuary Concerts</a>.  There you can also purchase tickets.  Though tickets may be available at the door, I urge you to buy your tickets in advance.  Cost is $25 and there is no service charge.  Sanctuary Concerts has been good enough to agree to reserve seats for our group, so it essential we have an accurate count.  <b>Accordingly, anyone who RSVPs and is a no show will be suspended from the group. </b> The music starts at 8:00, but I have scheduled the Meetup for 7:30 to make sure everybody gets seated and we have some time to socialize before the show.</p> <p>Indicate in your remarks when you RSVP if you might like to have dinner before.  If there is sufficient interest we can meet to eat at a nearby restaurant before the show.</p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">Singles who are over 55 are a largely neglected demographic here on Meetup and in the world generally. It is difficult for them to find social events where they can meet other singles their age.  Though I am comfortable in and enjoy social groups with a broad age range, I realized that some of my friends, especially friends older than me, wanted a group that was more their own age. I decided to see if I could fill that need. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">The idea is to have happy hours, dinners, museum visits, dances, movie nights, game nights, etc. where active men and women can meet each other for fun events in no-pressure situations, where friendship and romance can blossom! If you are a Baby Boomer or older, this is the group for you. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium"><strong>PLEASE POST A PERSONAL PHOTO WHEN YOU JOIN AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.  THIS IS A SOCIAL GROUP, AND AN UNANSWERED QUESTIONNAIRE WITH NO PHOTO, OR A PHOTO OF A FLOWER OR PET, IS NOT VERY SOCIAL!  PLEASE COOPERATE.  THANKS.</strong></span></p>

This improbable group of activists bucked oppression and, with no scientific training, infiltrated government agencies and the pharmaceutical industry, helping to identify promising new medication and treatments and move them through trials and into drugstores in record time. In the process, they saved their own lives and ended the darkest days of a veritable plague, while virtually emptying AIDS wards in American hospitals in the process. The powerful story of their fight is a classic tale of empowerment and activism that has since inspired movements for change in everything from breast cancer research to Occupy Wall Street. Their story stands as a powerful inspiration to future generations, a road map, and a call to arms. This is how you change the world.</p> <p>&lt;a href="http://www.filmlinc.com/films/on-sale/how-to-survive-a-plague-david-france"&gt;READ MORE HERE</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><b>Those who are interested in continuing the evening in good company,</b> meet again in the lobby after the film.</p> <p><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/6/f/2/e/event_186928462.jpeg" /></p> <p> </p> <p>We will  go to the nearby Whole Foods,<br/>where you there is a choice of food for everybody.</p> <p>  </p> <p> </p> <p><b>PLEASE READ!</b></p> <p><b>AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM ANDREYA'S ASSISTANT</b></p> <p><b>If you RSVP and do not show up to an event for three times, you will be expelled.  It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to check in with Joshua and get a sticker from him, or Andreya will mark you as not having attended this event.</b> <img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/1/3/6/event_175828982.jpeg" /></p> <p>I am green, <b>SMALL</b>, terribly cute, and YES...<br/>I am a <b>rubber duck</b>.<br/>Just look for me in Andreya's hands.</p> <p>If you so choose, you can buy your ticket in advance by clicking on <a href="http://www.filmlinc.com/films/on-sale/how-to-survive-a-plague-david-france">this link.</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : small">This group is for people who are seriously interested in art, like good company, enjoy to discuss art over dinner or a cup of coffee, like to walk, enjoy the outdoors; but most of all are interested in making new friends as opposed to using meetup to find events to go to with their friends.<br> </span></p>

After exiting on daniels farm rd exit, take left off exit, then immediate right. Commuter exit will be on left.<br/>Helmet required, pads recommended.</p> <p><strong>Welcome…</strong></p> <p><span><span>to the Stamford Bicycling Meetup</span> Group (SBMG).  This is a great place to</span> <span>meet other local cyclists in a social setting were you can make friends, find riding buddies, participate in rigorous training sessions, or rip-up the trails...what ever you want.</span> <span>And, if you just want to r</span><span>elax, kick back &amp; do leisure rides</span> <span>SBMG</span> <span>is also a good place for you.  This group is geared to beginner, intermediate &amp; advanced bikers interested in cycling whether for fitness, competition, or recreation.</span></p> <p><span>The</span> <span>SBMG</span> <span>is a motley crew of riders that meet up in and around the Stamford area to do various types of bicycling. We have mountain/off-road bikers that ride at Mianus Park after work during the week, and street riders that meet for casual rides as well a fast paced endurance rides around Stamford.</span></p> <p><span>This Meetup is actually a social networking forum more than a group.  The forum is a means for people in the biking community to find each other and get together for rides.  As such SBMG welcomes and support community originated event.</span> <span>You can think of the</span> <span>SBMG website as a community message board dedicated toward bicycling in Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Rowayton, and beyond.</span> <span>When you are thinking about doing a bike ride, please use the SBMG to find others that are also interested.</span></p> <p><strong>Who We Are</strong></p> <p><span>The Stamford Bicycling Meetup</span> Group (SBMG) is a group of bicycle enthusiasts looking to meet up with others to go cycling. This group is for people of all skill levels and of all biking types (recreational, endurance, leisure, mountain, road, etc.). We meet regularly for in Stamford, Greenwich, and Rowayton, Norwalk, but also plan meetups in other areas, for rail trail, road, and off-road rides.</p> <p><span>If you are a beginner, this is the place to start. You will meet others who can give you advice before you buy any gear. If you are an experienced cyclist, this group is an ideal way to meet other bikers to talk about gear, local routes, and to plan trips. Cyclist of all levels are welcome!</span></p> <p><span>SBMG is a social network forum, not a club, training facility, or outfitter. All events are common adventures, are</span> <strong>non-autocratic</strong> <span>in nature, and not for profit (unless hosted specifically by a business, institution, or outfitter following a different liability model). SBMG, its organizers, and its members assume no legal and or civil responsibility for or to any individual or event.</span></p> <p><strong>We Encourage Safe Cycling</strong></p> <p><span>We suggest for safety reasons that everyone ride with a helmet, in a legal manor, and in a cycle-pods of three to five. The forum makes it possible for novice, intermediate, and advanced bikers to find each other and form safe ride pods. Road cyclists should follow rules of the road.  Off road bikers should follow rules of the park.  The social nature of the group allows members to share safety tips and skills in a non-structured friendly format.  Safety is your responsibility!</span></p> <p><strong>How We Set Up Events</strong></p> <p><span><span>The Stamford Bicycling Meetup</span> Group (SBMG)  is not a leader-dictated Meetup group, but a member-driven forum. Bicycle enthusiasts are welcome to join the forum and suggest locations for common-adventure rides.  All members can suggest a place, date, and time for a bike-ride event.  In fact, SBMG relies heavily on individual members to put events on the calendar.</span></p> <p><span>When two other members decide to attend the suggestion moves to the calendar and is announced to the group as an event.  (Some events are moved to the calendar by one of</span><span>the</span><span>SBMG moderators</span><span>with less than three people on the RSVP list.)</span> <span>Once it is on the calendar it is no longer a suggestion, but an event and it gets announced to the group by e-mail.  Whenever you visit the SBMG page,</span><span>you should check the SUGGESTED events page to see if there is a suggested event that you might want to attend.</span></p> <p><span>Many people worry that if they suggest a ride too many bikers will show up and they would be responsible for a large group.  Most of the SBMG events attract about 1% of the members, which is about 2 to 4 bikers. That is just the right size for a group ride. Members just need to be specific on the day, time, and place (as well as bike-ride type, skill level, pace, etc.) when making a suggestion.  The events are common adventures, so you are not responsible for others, just yourself, but there is always safety in numbers.  However, you should be very specific about the bike-ride type, skill level, and pace of your suggested ride.  It is not a good idea for bikers of a single pod</span><span>to have</span><span>a mixed expectation of the ride... it just leads to disappointment and a ride pod break down.  In short, be clear in your suggestion description and others with like-minded</span><span>thinking will join you (i.e. clearly state road ride, mountain bike ride, novice, intermediate, advance, short, long, fast pace, leisure pace, free-ride, trail-ride, etc.)</span></p> <p><span>SBMG wants all its members to feel free to make ride event suggestions. Such suggestions can be novice leisure rides in a park or rail-trail (with picnic and frequent stops), intermediate-level day road rides, or advanced-skill mountain bike rides. Anyone can take the initiative to add bike-ride events to the calendar. And, this is the best way to get events that work for your personal schedule and skill level so you never have to ride alone.</span></p> <p><strong>Ideas for Meetups</strong></p> <p><span>We are interested in finding racers and triathlon riders that want to do a more rigorous training ride.  If you are interested in training with others then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is fast-paced and rigorous.</span></p> <p><span>We are have many members that want to meet up for local leisure exercise in local streets and parks.  Cycling is an ideal way to relieve the stress of the day and to get the 30 to 60 minutes of cardio recommended for a healthy life-style.  The</span> <span>SBMG forum is the ideal way to get the benefits of cycling while also forming a network of like-minded people to socialize with before, during and after the ride.</span> <span>If you are interested in daily exercise bike rides that are not rigorous training ride but more leisure in nature, maybe along the route to Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, or between Cummings Beach and Shippan Point in Stamford, or along Shore road in Old Greenwich, or where ever, then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is leisure-paced and exercise oriented.</span></p> <p><span>We are always looking for people to lead recreational rides throughout Connecticut and the neighboring states.  If you are interested in exploring the many bike routes and rail/trails in the area or doing multi-night bike touring others then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is leisure-paced and recreational in nature.</span></p> <p><span>Our most active group members are mountain bikers.  We have novice to advanced mountain bikers that post off-road rides, mostly in Mianus River Park on the Stamford, but if you are looking to meet up with people to ride other locations then we encourage you to post suggestions.   In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is off-road.  State the paced and style of your ride.  Use descriptors such as cross-country, trail, free-ride, and dirt jumping as these are well known terms.  Also, state if your ride suggestion is novice, intermediate, or advanced in nature.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><br> </span></p>
100498702 4791792 <p>This is an intermediate to advanced ride. difficulty will be 7-8 out of 10. The length of the ride will be from 1-3 hours depending on the weather and who shows up. This place is a great mountain bike play ground. Lots of log piles both large and small. Many twisty drops and other cool trail features. pads are recommended.</p> <p>I started this club To give mountain Bikers a place to meet and ride off road in a noncompetitive atmosphere.  I set up this site to allow members to post rides themselves, to meet with other Stone Age members, to all ride together.  Their are a few required rules to posting rides on this site, as the founder and organizer, I set these guidelines to keep people safe and informed, as well as to make sure the rides follow the basic philosophies that the club was originally set up to promote. As Organizer, I reserve the right to cancel any ride that has been posted, if I feel it is not safe or follow the basic philosophies of the club.  In order to post rides, First you have to have been on a ride already with me.  If you have never been on one of our rides, you simply will not be able to post a ride of your own. You need to have the noncompetitive philosophy and just be riding for the fun of it, whether fast or slow.  When posting a ride, in addition to your own info, the description of the ride should contain length of ride in time and difficulty level in a 1 - 10 format where 10 is the most difficult.  If info is not known about the area or trails,  the ride should be announced as an "exploration" ride and everyone who shows up must be ready for whatever comes along.   As a rule, It is important to remember that all riders are responsible for there own well being.  Stone Age MTB and Meetup.com is in no way responsible for the safety of you or your equipment.  Although we ride as a group,   everyone is an individual and is 100% responsible for themselves.  As a group someone will always be there to help and advise, but be prepared with what ever you think you might need to bring on the rides. All our rides require the basics.  A helmet, water and a functioning mountain bike, that means brakes that stop and gears that shift.  A hybrid bike or other types of bikes would not be advised as your safety and the safety of other members would be compromised.  There will always be someone with tools and supplies to help out if needed, but it is important to show up with a bicycle that has been checked out and functional.  The meetup spot is not the time to check your bike to see if its ok.  Although our group is not going to be scheduling many novice rides any longer,  There will be instead a series of "Bike Rodeos" that myself and other members will be doing to help new comers get acquainted with Mountain biking in a safe fun way.  There will be a few rodeos throughout the year.  The  name Stone Age Mountain Bikers was chosen because the club is geared towards men and women over 40. This is not a rule, only a guideline. Young riders and racers already have enough ways to meet and ride together. We need a place as well.  When I started Mountain Biking in 1984, after a pathetic stint road racing. I wish I had someone who was willing to take there time and knowledge to teach me basic techniques and to help and encourage me. I learned  training for and racing NORBA races and riding all the original trails on rigid bikes.  Become a Stone Age Mountain Biker, get started riding with people who ride like you.</p>

100499072 1514451 <p>What is a TurnOn Event?<br/>TurnOn: [turn on] v. sensations occurring in the body</p> <p>Increased body heat<br/>Tingling and chills<br/>Flushing cheeks<br/>Feeling of being awake and alive<br/>At OneTaste, we believe TurnOn is the ignition that leads to a more of what we really want in life. It is the first step to knowing what's possible. And, it comes when we get real about the powerful stuff of relationships, Orgasm, intimacy, desire, etc.</p> <p>So, we started an evening event designed specifically to give people the opportunity to feel TurnON in themselves. It's an evening where, through only talking, we begin to experience these exhilarating, energizing, often ignored feelings -- referred to as TurnON. A room of people (cool, fun people) engage in honest, humorous, playful conversation around topics we mostly only consider having in our head.</p> <p>Through 3 guided, round-robin style games, express yourself and gain new (and maybe surprising) insight into yourself and others. Fear, longing, taboo, love... Be with others who are willing to express it openly and be seen for who they really are. It's like a giant exhale when the rest of the world is asking you to hold it in.</p> <p>For a taste of the evening's games, check out this clip from a recent episode on the Chopra Network:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OWkv9zms4E&amp;list=SPF72E690B227EFAC1&amp;feature=player_embedded" class="embedded">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OWkv9zms4E&amp;list=SPF72E690B227EFAC1&amp;feature=player_embedded</a></p> <p>TurnOn leads to authenticity AND authenticity leads to the kind of connection we hope for around the globe. Come feel it for yourself!</p> <p>Doors close at 8:15pm!

10050153 1387415 <p>This is our first meetup especially for beginners! Some of you have e-mailed and asked for a beginner event, where beginning guitarists can meet other beginning guitarists in a cozy environment (like my livingroom). So- this event is for you! This event might also interest intermediate guitarists who would like to memorize the names of the frets on the guitar (learn all the notes on the guitar).</p> <p><b>The details:</b></p> <p>Schedule for the evening:</p> <p>7:00-7:30 - meet new people, have a few snacks, and relax</p> <p>7:30-8:30- demonstration by Emily on how to memorize the names of the frets on the guitar</p> <p>8:30- on Q &amp; A time, continue snacking and playing with the group</p> <p><b>The cost</b></p> <p>The cost is $15 per person, and also covers all materials, food and drink (soda, juice, tea...). You will need to prepay to reserve your spot. We'll need at least 5 people to hold the meetup, but no more than 10- if you RSVP and the meetup is cancelled for any reason, you'll be fully refunded.</p> <p>This is a very good deal for this kind of event- especially as I'm such a good cook ;p (that is said in all humbleness to the professional chefs in the group).</p> <p>Thank you for all the e-mails, recommendations, input, and all your ideas that allow our group to succeed! We have a very friendly, diverse, and quickly growing group, so we'll try to have at least one event per month to suit your musical needs.</p> <p>More events for advanced players to come! Also check out our April Constructive Open Mike!</p> <p>Guitar lovers and guitarists - welcome to the NYC Guitar Group! </p> <p>The NYC Guitar Group is for everyone and everything guitar- to bring us all together as a guitar community: guitarists, guitar students, guitar teachers, guitar makers, guitar sellers, guitar technicians, songwriters, composers, guitar managers, and everyone who loves the sound of the guitar.  This group is for you.</p> <p>Even if you've never held a guitar before, come join us and discover a beautiful instrument!</p> <p>Our mission is to bring the whole guitar community together- to make each member stronger by providing opportunites to play, learn, and listen to great music.  We are more than individual guitarists playing alone- we are the NYC Guitar Group- a network of talented, encouraging, and supportive people, all united by music.</p> <p>We are here to play out loud- together.  We hope that you'll enjoy the NYC Guitar Group!</p> <p> </p>
10050190 12542 <p>Practice sessions for what we would call a "blind-reading" of charts.</p> <p>It requires just a basic understanding of the meanings of signs/planets/houses to participate. This is what will help you grow in astrological interpretation!</p> <p>For Newbies it is helpful to bring a guide for symbols/glyphs/meanings to listen along to interpretations if you would like instead to just absorb something new.</p> <p><br/>* * *All levels welcomed.* * *</p> <p>Everyone can practice their reading/interpretation skills and gain some reading experience. It is helpful to listen to multiple views on the same chart as everyone will provide pieces of information from different perspectives. Simple as that, always fun.</p> <p>We will be using the Western Placidus House System with True Node. This is the <i>default</i> used at both <i>Astro.com</i> and <i>Alabe.com/freechart</i> so if this is your basic house system set-up you are all set. If you are using another such as Koch, Huber or Jyotish (Eastern or Indian Astrology) please use the <b>Extended Chart Selections Features</b> on Astro.com to obtain the Placidus system chart before you print out multiple copies. This is just so everyone can be on the same page, literally.</p> <p>Please remember:<br/><b>* Please bring approx. <i>12 clearly readable copies</i> of a chart for someone you know well enough. Black/White or Color: your choice. 1 for you, 11 for the other members to read.</b> If you need a chart drawn up please e-mail me the information and I will send you a jpeg to print on your own. I apologize in advance, I do not own a printer.<br/><b>* Do not include the Name/Gender so we can work solely with the energies of the chart.</b><br/><b>* Do not bring your own chart nor the chart of someone else coming to the meetup.</b><br/>* Bring any tools you find necessary for your aid: books, notes, diagrams, charts, etc!</p> <p>*** A meetup place will be determinded based on number of RSVP's . This will be in or around 14th St./Union Square/Greenwich Village area. Please check back to this page or keep those eyes peeled to your e-mail inbox for the update!</p> <p>* * The $1.00 Suggested Donation is to benefit the Joanna Shannon Astrological Library * *</p> <p>Astrology is an amazing tool for self-exploration and for discovering the beautifully precise rhythms of the universe. Many people think that astrology is nothing more than the sun sign columns found in the newspapers. Those who realize that astrology is much more than this are far and few between. Whether you are just at the beginning of your journey or have been exploring the subject for some time, here you will find a place where others "speak your language." Beginners will learn new information during the informative discussions while experienced practitioners will have an opportunity to exchange ideas. All are encouraged to participate, and anyone interested in leading a discussion topic is very welcome to do so! Please contact the organizer if you have a discussion topic.</p> <p>We are co-creators of our destiny.</p>

You may want to have a bite before you arrive. </b></p> <p>And of course, when the mad bowling fun ends at 9:00 P.M., some of us may continue the evening out dancing or mingling at a local haunt! Because, as you KNOW many of us are unable to end a night so early! All are welcomed to join; however, the destination will be determined at the event.</p> <p>One last note: children 10 and above are welcome to participate and can bowl in your lane or alongside other children attending the event.

10050252 1034045 <p>On Friday April 17, 2009 Gamekeepers will be hosting a happy hour for the Walk MS Chicago Lakefront Committee. From 6 pm till 9 pm you can purchase a $25 - 3 hour all-you-can-drink package, this package includes domestic beers and well liquor drinks. From the purchase price $10 per person will go to the Walk MS Chicago Lakefront event for The National MS Society! Gamekeepers will also be providing us some appetizers for the happy hour and Gamekeepers is going to be a Local Route Sponsor for this year’s walk. Please make sure you send this event out to all of your friends, co-workers, and family. We will have some information on registering for the May 3rd Walk MS Chicago Lakefront event at Gamekeepers as well!</p> <p>Exploring the culture and night life of Chicago can get expensive.<br> <br> This is a meetup group for things a little more on the inexpensive side- a great for parties, discount theatre tickets, bar discounts, free billiards nights, free days at museums, trips to the zoo, etc.<br> <br> The less expensive it is to go out, the *more* we can all get together!<br> <br> We'll see if we can get group discounts to some events, explore some "free days" at museums, go visit cheap greasy spoon diners, throw parties, etc.<br> <br> I'm actually opening up the meetup so you can make suggestions of anything that's free and cheap in Chicago. Please bear in mind, while "free" is easy, "cheap" is relative.<br> <br> Try to keep things inexpensive- if it's an item where there's a discount, a 50% discount is really sweet, but not if the cost is still something like $30. And don't just dump every little promotion you can think of here; that could go crazy. Use your good judgment, and let's find some terrific events to go to.</p>
100503732 344877 <p>Some of the best dirt trails exist in the south east corner of the park, which is part of the protected wetlands. These are typically occupied by walkers and runners. There are a couple miles of trails that loop through the Cunningham Park Reserve, which meanders around some ponds in this protected forest habitat. These trails can be slightly overgrown during the summer months, but they are still runnable. The trails naturally widens during the winter months, making it the prime time of the year to explore.</p> <p>This is an intermediate to advanced ride. difficulty will be 7-8 out of 10. The length of the ride will be from 1-3 hours depending on the weather and who shows up. This place is a great mountain bike play ground. Lots of log piles both large and small.

10050442 1189845 <p>Never danced salsa before but always wanted to learn? Now is your chance! No partner is necessary. Each lesson starts with the basics and ends with hot spins!</p> <p>Salsa lessons will be taught by Todd Chen, whose foray into the salsa world began with one bad date. He was invited to a salsa club by his date, but ended up watching from the sides as other dancers skillfully turned and maneuvered his date across the dance floor. Though Todd had 6 years experience performing, teaching, and choreographing hip hop, salsa was unfamiliar territory for him.

100505042 344877 <p>About Slow Wine</p> <p>The Slow Wine Guide, published by Slow Food Editore (the publishing arm of Slow Food Italy**) adopts a new approach to wine criticism and looks at a variety of factors to evaluate wineries in their entirety, taking into consideration the wine quality, typicity and adherence to terroir, value for money, environmental sensitivity and ecologically sustainable viticultural practices.</p> <p>**Slow Food Italy is the Italian national branch of Slow Food International, a global grassroots organization that envisions a world in which all people can access and enjoy food that is good for them, good for those who grow it and good for the planet. A non-profit member-supported association, Slow Food was founded in Italy in 1989 to counter the rise of fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and to encourage people to be aware about the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.</p> <p>One year after its English-language debut, <i>Slow Wine</i>, the guide to Italian wineries approved as good, clean and fair by Slow Food Italy is premiering a new and updated edition. To celebrate the launch, Slow Wine will be doing a walk-around tasting tour in New York City, Miamiand San Francisco.</p> <p> In New York City, the walk around tasting will feature over 75 selected producers with 15 Italian regions represented. With the purchase of a ticket, every attendee will receive a<b>complimentary copy</b> of the <b>THE SLOW WINE GUIDE</b> 2nd edition (a $25 value).</p> <p> “With Slow Wine we have changed the way of reviewing wine,” comments Marco Bolasco, CEO of Slow Food Editore. Three symbols are used in the guide to evaluate each winery:</p> <p><b>The Snail</b>, the Slow Food symbol, signals a cellar that has distinguished itself through its interpretation of sensorial, territorial, environmental and personal values in harmony with the Slow Food philosophy. <b>The Bottle</b>, allocated to cellars that show a consistently high quality throughout their range of wines. <b>The Coin</b>, an indicator of great value. <b>Event Details:</b></p> <p>Where: Three-Sixty°, 10 Desbrosses St, NYC</p> <p>When: January 28th, 2013, 6:30PM - 9:00PM</p> <p> To solidify the 28th as the biggest night in Italian wine tasting and education in NYC, Slow Wine is collaborating with Vinitaly International. Vinitaly, who holds the largest wine event in the world in Verona every year, will offer these exclusive features:</p> <p>Pre-grand tasting <b>Master Class*</b> at 5PM "<i>Italy's Volcanic Wines"</i> (hosted by Giovanni Ponchia) Aperitivo courtesy of Italia di Vino begin at 6:30PM <b>Masterclass*</b>: " <i>Call it Prosecco: only if it origins from the Prosecco area"</i> (hosted by Susannah Gold) will begin at 6:45PM *=Masterclass entry is complementary and on a first come, first serve basis.</p> <p> <i>Light refreshments will be served. Must be 21+ to attend, ID required.</i></p> <p><i>A portion of the proceeds of every ticket sold will be donated to the Slow Food NYC chapter.</i></p> <p>  </p> <p><a href="http://slowwinenyc2013.eventbrite.com/"><a href="http://slowwinenyc2013.eventbrite.com/" class="linkified">http://slowwinenyc2013.eventbrite.com/</a></a></p> <p>Ever wanted to do something out of your comfort zone and didn?t want to wait for friends to make a decision to join up??

Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

We  will meet by 5:30 pm to ensure  good seating. As this is a free event it  is first come - first served.</p> <p>This year the Friday Night theme is all about the Latino community and the equality of all people.

As I get more information on the films selected I will post it.</p> <p>Here is the Schedule:</p> <p>6:00 - 6:10 - Opening comments</p> <p>6:11 - 7:36 - "The Second Cooler":</p> <p>The Second Cooler (USA, 87 min)</p> <p>Directed by Ellin Jimmerson</p> <p><i>The Second Cooler</i> is a migrant justice documentary for English and Spanish speaking audiences which unravels why twelve million Latin American migrants are in the U.

For most of his years, he cheated others for a living... until he cheated the wrong man. After messing with Martin Soto, Salvador's life now lies in the hands (or rather, the knee) of Gasparotto, an injured sports star who's flawlessness in the playing field becomes the most important factor not only for 'bringing in the big bucks', but for claiming his life back. Getting the people to believe in Gasparotto is Salvador's greatest act of con artistry yet. It will be in this moment of his life where he finally meets his true destiny. That is, if he can still believe in something higher than just himself.</p> <p>Trailer is at: <a href="http://peaceonearthfilmfestival.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=182&amp;Itemid=9"><a href="http://peaceonearthfilmfestival.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=182&amp;Itemid=9" class="linkified">http://peaceonearthfilmfestival.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=182&amp;Itemid=9</a></a></p> <p>10:21 - 10:41 - Q&amp;A 180 Grados</p> <p>10:42-10:47 - Closing comments</p> <p>Visit <a href="http://peaceonearthfilmfestival.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=134&amp;Itemid=9%A0"><a href="http://peaceonearthfilmfestival.org/" class="linkified">http://peaceonearthfilmfestival.org/</a></a> for all the latest information.</p> <p>From their website:</p> <p>"2013 marks the fifth annual POEFF, which is one of the few festivals in the world whose mission is to showcase films on peace, nonviolence, social justice and an eco-balanced world. Located in Chicago, with an eclectic community that appreciates and celebrates film, we have also developed an extensive, year-round cultural and educational outreach program that uses the festival's films (with filmmaker approval) and attendant programming, to expand the peace dialogue in every neighborhood of Chicago and beyond.</p> <p>Filmmaker-focused, the POEFF aims to warmly welcome all exhibiting filmmakers to Chicago, provide discounted accommodations in area hotels within walking distance to the Chicago Cultural Center - the historic landmark venue for the POEFF, located in the heart of Chicago's celebrated theatre district, and directly across the street from the world-renowned Millennium Park, and walking distance to the famed shops along the "Magnificent Mile"."</p> <p>Mission Statement</p> <p><b><i>...raising awareness of peace, nonviolence, social justice and an eco-balanced world</i></b></p> <p>Peace On Earth Film Festival (POEFF) is a not-for-profit festival established to celebrate and encourage the work of independent filmmakers from around the world on the themes of peace, nonviolence, social justice and eco-balance. POEFF aims to contribute to a culture of peace through international cinema, dialogue and programming highlighting individuals on the vanguard of peace activism and social change. POEFF endeavors to enlighten and empower individuals, families, and communities to step out of the ignorance of conflict, violence and divisiveness, into the light of communication, consideration, tolerance and understanding.</p> <p><a href="http://www.peaceonearthfilmfestival.org">Click here</a> for more information on the <a href="http://www.peaceonearthfilmfestival.org">Peace on Earth Film Festival</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Many changes are happening in the Wiccan and Pagan communities these days. Years ago, Covens were the main way to be involved with a few Solitary Practitioners to be found. As the Craft has "come out of the broom closet" more information is available than ever before. What does not seem to be there is the sense of Spiritual Community we had all those years ago. We have many wonderful social outlets these days. They serve a tremendous purpose and it is a blessing they exist.</p> <p>However, as times evolve, it seems fair to say our community can evolve as well. What we have created with this meet up is  "Congregational Wicca", a place where people can join together, learn and grow as individual spiritual beings while understanding the basics to build their own foundation. We hope that this idea will find others with a similar interest in joining in a spiritual community.</p> <p>Our meetup format is:</p> <p>-Meet and Greet<br> -Short grounding meditation<br> -Open discussion and Q&amp;A on the meet up topic<br> -Short break<br> -Circle based on the meet up topic (This is a learning circle where all of the steps and symbolism involved in the circle are explained).</p> <p>The discussions are founded in Wiccan teachings of many traditions as well as some philosophy and theology from Buddhism, Shamanism, Transcendentalism and wherever else we may find inspiration. Please join us on this journey.</p>

World War II Morocco springs to life in Michael Curtiz's classic love story. Colorful characters abound in Casablanca, a waiting room for Europeans trying to escape Hitler's war-torn Europe. Humphrey Bogart plays Richard "Rick" Blaine, a cynical but good-hearted American whose café is the gathering place for everyone from the French Police to the black market to the Nazis. When his long-lost love, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), surfaces in Casablanca with her Resistance leader husband, Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), Rick is pulled into both a love triangle and a web of political intrigue.</p> <p>After the movie, we can go for a coffee at the cafe or a drink/snack at the Putnam House, to discus the movie and/or to just catch up.</p> <p>No Meetup Fees!</b></p> <p><span style="color : #fffef9 ; font-size : xx-small">singles singles singles dance dance dance friends friends friends nightlife nightlife nightlife social networking social networking social networking dating dating dating wine wine wine professional professional professional single parent single parent single parent singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles singles AND MORE</span></p> <p style="text-align : center"><span style="font-size : large"><strong><span style="color : #6e1919"><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/3/c/3/event_5229155.jpeg" width="236" height="309" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left"></span></strong></span></p> <p style="text-align : center"> </p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong><span style="color : #1f1f3c ; font-size : large">AMAZING SINGLES GOING WILD Westchester/Fairfield &amp; Hudson Valley</span></strong></p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong><span style="color : #370a0a ; font-size : large">*We have over 10,000 members in our family of 12 single groups and growing!*</span></strong></p> <p style="text-align : center"><span style="color : #370a0a"><strong><span style="font-size : medium">Come join a singles group focused  on friendships first.

100519242 4028902 <p>Good afternoon everyone,</p> <p><br/>I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday afternoon. On Thursday, January 24th, we will receive a large transport of almost 30 wet noses and happy tails at our office in Berkeley Heights. The arrival time of the transport will be finalized shortly. If you can volunteer your time to help out at the transport, I ask that you please respond to me by noon on Tuesday, January 22nd. We need volunteers for both the morning (approximately 7:30 - 12:30) as well as the afternoon (12:30 - 3:30). We have been short of volunteers in the afternoon on transport day, so if the morning doesn't work for you, we hope a couple of you can give us a few afternoon hours on Thursday. So far, I am expecting Nedra, Lilian, Gerry (maybe), Arlene V and Kathy Z on Thursday morning.</p> <p>We will also be having our first adoption event of the year on Saturday, January 26th from 11am - 4pm at Petco in Raritan, at 300 US 202, Raritan, NJ. If you can volunteer on Saturday I ask that you please respond to me by noon on Thursday, January 24th. All volunteers must arrive at 10am to help set up. We also need people to help with clean up at the end of the day so if you plan on helping out later in the day please let me know what time you will arrive. Remember to wear your Home For Good T-Shirt, name tag and sneakers.</p> <p>Thank you as always for volunteering your time. I know that many of you are very anxious and excited to meet the pups and help them on their journey to find their loving forever homes.

100519552 3113482 <p>Centuries ago, a dynamic bodywork therapy based on yoga and Ayurveda was born in the temples of Thailand. In this unique healing system of Thai Yoga Massage ~ also called Nuad Boran ~ partners assist each other through a series of yoga type stretches resulting in a comprehensive full body treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, and balances the body energetically.</p> <p>This class was created for you to learn how to really get in touch with your Self which will assist in creating a deeper connection with all life energy. Learn to connect on a spiritual level and your life will completely change. Whether it's with friends, family or your life partner this awakening experience will create a whole new way of existing. You will learn to actually exist LOinVE, rather than look for love to complete you.</p> <p>Please know that <b>you do not need a partner to attend, nor any prior yoga experience</b> as everyone will be able to work at their own skill level. This class is meant for individuals and partners to understand new ways of BEING. Not only will we practice movements and stretches to release stress and induce relaxation, we will come to understand the art of non-attachment and all of it's amazing benefits.

The cast usually head there after the show, its the unofficial IAC watering hole. Many of you are familiar with Fiona Walsh and her quirky humor. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&amp;search_query=fiona+walsh"><a href="http://www.youtube.co" class="linkified">http://www.youtube.co</a>...</a></p> <p>This show is a great antidote to the night before Monday morning blues. Its easily the best comedy deal in town and thoroughly deserving of our support. A mixture of seasoned and new comedians, there is a pot luck element but for $10 you can't really go wrong (if you're an IAC member its only $8). Given the night that's in it, there are usually seats aplenty so I encourage you to sit upfront and support your comics.</p> <p>For more details on the stellar April 5th comedy line up<br/><a href="http://www.irishartscenter.org/humor.html"><a href="http://www.irishartsc" class="linkified">http://www.irishartsc</a>...</a></p> <p>This meetup is being co-hosted by the wonderful and talented pairing of Geraldine and Sean, both of whom currently hail from the only borough on the mainland, Da Bronx. If you're running late or can't meet at Druids before the show, let them know in advance if you can by including that info. in your RSVP. Otherwise, they'll be distributing contact number(s) to all who've RSVP'd YES the day before the show.</p> <p>I'll do my "Mae West" to be there but regardless you're all in good hands. If this is your first 2009 meetup don't forget to pony up your paltry $5 membership fee. Don't forget, the good folks at meetup.com charge me to host the site.

100524792 5785362 <p>The Met's African art exhibit offered great winter sketching opportunities.  Moving on to another part of the world in February, let's sketch the art of the Himalayas.  We will draw for about two hours, set aside a little time for enjoying each other's artwork, then, for those who want to, see the special exhibit, Modernist Art from India. After that, you are welcome to join us for coffee or a light meal.</p> <p>The Rubin Museum charges $10 admission for adults and $5 for seniors. The museum has chairs on each level, which is great if you can't stand for that long.  Please sketch in pencil in accordance with the rules of the museum.  An excerpt from the museum's website follows:</p> <p><i>The Rubin Museum of Art is home to a comprehensive collection of art from the Himalayas and surrounding regions. The artistic heritage of this vast and culturally varied area of the world remains relatively obscure. Through changing exhibitions and an array of engaging public programs, the museum offers opportunities to explore the artistic legacy of the Himalayan region and to appreciate its place in the context of world cultures.</i></p> <p><i>The museum's collection consists of paintings, sculptures, and textiles. Although works of art range in date over two millennia, most reflect major periods and schools of Himalayan art from the twelfth century onward.</i></p> <p> </p> <p>Do you love to sketch or want to fall in love with sketching? Lets sketch in museums, public spaces, and the parks in nice weather. Let's encourage each other! Join us for coffee and conversation afterwards if you'd like.</p>

There is a turnaround at mile 3 for those who don't want to go as far. Also, if 6 miles is too far there is another turn around at mile 1.5</p> <p>We will meet at 7PM at the large parking lot right by the outdoor skate park.

The Bunker Hill Forest Preserve is filled with majestic trees, some hundreds of years old, which provide food and shelter for a multitude of wildlife. Learn tree ecology – and how to identify them by their shape, bark, branches, and buds. Meet at the parking lot entrance north of Devon on Caldwell. Dress for the weather.</i></p> <p>I was able to sign us up for just 8 spots. So with the short notice and the limited space PLEASE only sign up if you KNOW FOR SURE that you will be there come rain or shine.</p> <p>I expect the tree stuff to take roughly 2 hours, so depending on our group expect to hike a little more afterwards, and then go out for our usual group lunch.</p> <p>Be sure to dress for the weather, layers is always best. Also, I doubt we will stay on the paved path, so be sure to wear shoes that can take some dampness and/or mud.</p> <p>If you Mapquest the location, enter Tonty &amp; Caldwell in Chicago to find the parking lot entrance.</p> <p>See you there, don't be late!!</p> <p>Windy City Hikers is an outdoors group active in the Chicagoland area.

10052840 745184 <p>Chapter 5 explores how we can be generous with ourselves and abundance. It is easy to fall prey to scarcity thinking and close ourselves off to the flow of our creativity. By purposefully directing our expectations and comingling that with action (plus a tiuch of faith and a pinch of courage) we can reintegrate ourselves with our creative flow. The first step is to listen to the creative voice within ourselves. Doing so will lead to synchronicity and appropriate dependence on ourselves. This week we also considered the idea of making nice and allowing our creativity to fall prey to looking good and avoiding looking bad in the eyes of other. Often the cost of doing so is staying blocked and putting out own creative dreams on a perpetual backburner.</p> <p>During this weeks meet-up we will:<br/>Do Our Check in - Morning Pages / Artist Dates / Tasks Completed / Breakdown &amp; Breakthroughs</p> <p>Take the "Virtue Trap Quiz" together and share our insights in small groups</p> <p>Do the "Wish List" exercise together and share our insights in small groups</p> <p>Review Tasks -</p> <p>2.

10052857 268875 <p>Join us for a 60 minute/3 mile neighborhood walk around Forest Park, Oak Park and/or River Forest.</p> <p>All evening walks are "Show and Go." Whoever shows up for the walk will help decide where we go.</p> <p>FYI<br/>1. Constitution Court is the area with the fountain across the street from Cafe DeLuca and Forest Park Liquors on Madison St. There is a public parking lot there and lots of parking on the side streets.<br/>2. If you RSVP yes or maybe, we'll wait at least 5 minutes for you on the evening walks.</p> <p>Meet other local people who are interested in walking for fitness! We'll meet up to walk around Oak Park/River Forest/Forest Park and on local trails. We've also been known to do a little hiking, biking, eating and drinking as a group.</p> <p>To lose weight and to keep it off, you need to get moving. Walking at a moderate pace for 30-60 minutes burns stored fat and can build muscle to speed up your metabolism. Walking an hour a day is also associated with cutting your risk of heart disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes and stroke. Isn't it time to work 1-hour walks into your busy lifestyle?</p>
100528582 213096 <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p><b>PRE-PAYMENT IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND.</b></p> <p><b>Please disregard what the Meetup RSVP reminders/confirmations state. You are NOT confirmed for this event unless you pre-pay. RSVPing along does not hold a spot for you.<br/></b></p> <p><b>See payment link below in red font.</b></p> <p><br/><b>We do not accept payment at the door for these events. No exceptions.</b></p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p>Aren't you tired of emailing back and forth with that person from Match.com or OKCupid only to end up being blown off or disappointed? Here's a fun and easy way to cut to the chase, save time and have fun all at the same time.</p> <p>Show up and enjoy happy hour as all guests arrive and check in. Grab a drink and nibble the appetizers while you get ready to meet your matches.</p> <p>Join other single professionals for an early evening happy hour, topped off with about* 7-10 rounds of "mini-dates." You'll meet each member of the opposite sex for 5-7 minutes each (depending on the size of the event), turn in your dating card and then we'll send you the contact info of your mutual matches 48 hours later. On average, 80% of those who attend end up with at least one or two mutual matches.</p> <p>Why only 7-10 rounds? The more choices in front of someone, the less likely they are to  choose and focus on one specific person. We like to avoid replicating the "shopping cart" mentality that occurs with online dating.</p> <p>We intentionally keep our speeddating events limited to 7-10 dating rounds. That way , between the pre-event happy hour and the dating rounds, you can spend more time with each participant and try to determine compatibility. <b>(SEE MORE FAQ's BELOW)</b></p> <p><i><b>If you don't get any matches, you'll receive a promo code so you can try another event at half price!</b></i></p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p><b>APPETIZERS SERVED DURING CHECK IN<br/></b></p> <p><b>PAYMENT POLICY:<br/>$30 (MUST register with code ATWYS7 - codes can not be applied after registration)</b></p> <p><b>$25 IF YOU PREPAY WITH A FRIEND<br/></b></p> <p><b>REGISTER AND PAY HERE:</b> <a href="http://atwysnycspeed2013.eventbrite.com/"><a href="http://atwysnycspeed2013.eventbrite.com/" class="linkified">http://atwysnycspeed2013.eventbrite.com/</a></a></p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p>Absolutely no refunds to cancellations or no-shows.</p> <p>(This policy is to help us ensure a close to even as possible gender ratio.)</p> <p><b>Here's why you should try speeddating:</b></p> <p><b>1. You Improve Your Flirting &amp; Communication skills -</b> You went out, you interacted with people, you worked your flirt a bit. One's inability to interact or communicate effectively is one of the biggest hurdles when it comes to dating.</p> <p><b>2. You Hone Your Dating Instincts -</b> The more exposure you have to such different types of people, the quicker you learn to spot and avoid red flags or incompatibility. You become better at picking up clues and signs.</p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p><b>FAQ'S</b></p> <p><b>The Organizer RSVPD with X amount of people. What does that mean?</b></p> <p>That number represents the RSVPS (not registrations) that have come in through our other pages listed below. It is NOT the total number of people pre-paid. The typical number of people per event is 16-20. <b><br/></b></p> <p><b>What should I wear?</b></p> <p>Business casual attire is perfect. No sneakers or athletic wear, please.</p> <p><b>What if I want to give someone my contact info at the event?</b></p> <p>Go for it! That's the whole point. Do whatever you are comfortable doing.</p> <p><b>Can I see photos of other attendees?</b></p> <p>Most people do not RSVP on meetup for privacy reasons. They only pre-pay and therefore do not share their photo.</p> <p><b>Where are all the RSVPs?</b></p> <p>About 50% of the registrations come through Eventbrite and our <a href="http://andthatswhyyouresingle.com/">main events website</a>. They are not Meetup members. Many people prefer not to post their Meetup profile or photo for privacy reasons.

100528612 1896321 <p>What is a TurnOn Event?<br/>TurnOn: [turn on] v. sensations occurring in the body</p> <p>Increased body heat<br/>Tingling and chills<br/>Flushing cheeks<br/>Feeling of being awake and alive<br/>At OneTaste, we believe TurnOn is the ignition that leads to a more of what we really want in life. It is the first step to knowing what's possible. And, it comes when we get real about the powerful stuff of relationships, Orgasm, intimacy, desire, etc.</p> <p>So, we started an evening event designed specifically to give people the opportunity to feel TurnON in themselves. It's an evening where, through only talking, we begin to experience these exhilarating, energizing, often ignored feelings -- referred to as TurnON. A room of people (cool, fun people) engage in honest, humorous, playful conversation around topics we mostly only consider having in our head.</p> <p>Through 3 guided, round-robin style games, express yourself and gain new (and maybe surprising) insight into yourself and others. Fear, longing, taboo, love... Be with others who are willing to express it openly and be seen for who they really are. It's like a giant exhale when the rest of the world is asking you to hold it in.</p> <p>For a taste of the evening's games, check out this clip from a recent episode on the Chopra Network:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OWkv9zms4E&amp;list=SPF72E690B227EFAC1&amp;feature=player_embedded" class="embedded">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OWkv9zms4E&amp;list=SPF72E690B227EFAC1&amp;feature=player_embedded</a></p> <p>TurnOn leads to authenticity AND authenticity leads to the kind of connection we hope for around the globe. Come feel it for yourself!</p> <p>Doors close at 8:15pm! Please arrive by 8pm.<br/>$10 at door (no one turned away for lack of funds)</p> <p>For questions feel free to contact Andrea Marz at [masked] or[masked]</p> <p>We are a group of single men and women who are ready to have a good time and meet new people. This group is for all singles. whether your're a newly single, divorced, widowed or looking to date someone.

10052865 268875 <p>Join us for a 60 minute/3 mile neighborhood walk around Forest Park, Oak Park and/or River Forest.</p> <p>All evening walks are "Show and Go." Whoever shows up for the walk will help decide where we go.</p> <p>FYI<br/>1. Constitution Court is the area with the fountain across the street from Cafe DeLuca and Forest Park Liquors on Madison St. There is a public parking lot there and lots of parking on the side streets.<br/>2. If you RSVP yes or maybe, we'll wait at least 5 minutes for you on the evening walks.</p> <p>Meet other local people who are interested in walking for fitness! We'll meet up to walk around Oak Park/River Forest/Forest Park and on local trails. We've also been known to do a little hiking, biking, eating and drinking as a group.</p> <p>To lose weight and to keep it off, you need to get moving. Walking at a moderate pace for 30-60 minutes burns stored fat and can build muscle to speed up your metabolism. Walking an hour a day is also associated with cutting your risk of heart disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes and stroke. Isn't it time to work 1-hour walks into your busy lifestyle?</p>
100528652 213096 <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p><b>PRE-PAYMENT IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND.</b></p> <p><b>Please disregard what the Meetup RSVP reminders/confirmations state. You are NOT confirmed for this event unless you pre-pay. RSVPing along does not hold a spot for you.<br/></b></p> <p><b>See payment link below in red font.</b></p> <p><br/><b>We do not accept payment at the door for these events. No exceptions.</b></p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p>Aren't you tired of emailing back and forth with that person from Match.com or OKCupid only to end up being blown off or disappointed? Here's a fun and easy way to cut to the chase, save time and have fun all at the same time.</p> <p>Show up and enjoy happy hour as all guests arrive and check in. Grab a drink and nibble the appetizers while you get ready to meet your matches.</p> <p>Join other single professionals for an early evening happy hour, topped off with about* 7-10 rounds of "mini-dates." You'll meet each member of the opposite sex for 5-7 minutes each (depending on the size of the event), turn in your dating card and then we'll send you the contact info of your mutual matches 48 hours later. On average, 80% of those who attend end up with at least one or two mutual matches.</p> <p>Why only 7-10 rounds? The more choices in front of someone, the less likely they are to  choose and focus on one specific person. We like to avoid replicating the "shopping cart" mentality that occurs with online dating.</p> <p>We intentionally keep our speeddating events limited to 7-10 dating rounds. That way , between the pre-event happy hour and the dating rounds, you can spend more time with each participant and try to determine compatibility. <b>(SEE MORE FAQ's BELOW)</b></p> <p><i><b>If you don't get any matches, you'll receive a promo code so you can try another event at half price!</b></i></p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p><b>APPETIZERS SERVED DURING CHECK IN<br/></b></p> <p><b>PAYMENT POLICY:<br/>$30 (MUST register with code ATWYS7 - codes can not be applied after registration)</b></p> <p><b>$25 IF YOU PREPAY WITH A FRIEND<br/></b></p> <p><b>REGISTER AND PAY HERE:</b> <a href="http://atwysnycspeed2013.eventbrite.com/"><a href="http://atwysnycspeed2013.eventbrite.com/" class="linkified">http://atwysnycspeed2013.eventbrite.com/</a></a></p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p>Absolutely no refunds to cancellations or no-shows.</p> <p>(This policy is to help us ensure a close to even as possible gender ratio.)</p> <p><b>Here's why you should try speeddating:</b></p> <p><b>1. You Improve Your Flirting &amp; Communication skills -</b> You went out, you interacted with people, you worked your flirt a bit. One's inability to interact or communicate effectively is one of the biggest hurdles when it comes to dating.</p> <p><b>2. You Hone Your Dating Instincts -</b> The more exposure you have to such different types of people, the quicker you learn to spot and avoid red flags or incompatibility. You become better at picking up clues and signs.</p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p><b>FAQ'S</b></p> <p><b>The Organizer RSVPD with X amount of people. What does that mean?</b></p> <p>That number represents the RSVPS (not registrations) that have come in through our other pages listed below. It is NOT the total number of people pre-paid.

No sneakers or athletic wear, please.</p> <p><b>What if I want to give someone my contact info at the event?</b></p> <p>Go for it! That's the whole point. Do whatever you are comfortable doing.</p> <p><b>Can I see photos of other attendees?</b></p> <p>Most people do not RSVP on meetup for privacy reasons. They only pre-pay and therefore do not share their photo.</p> <p><b>Where are all the RSVPs?</b></p> <p>About 50% of the registrations come through Eventbrite and our <a href="http://andthatswhyyouresingle.com/">main events website</a>.

100528882 1869021 <p><b>The ECK Worship Service is open to anyone interested in bringing more divine love</b> <b>and insight into their lives.</b></p> <p><b>The service lasts about an hour. It is a celebration of the Light and Sound of God.</b></p> <p><b>Each service focuses on a particular theme. This Friday the topic is: <i>Is Life a Random Walk?</i></b></p> <p><b>The service features a reading from the ECK works, singing HU, music, and a group</b> <b>discussion of spiritual principles at work in our lives based upon the theme of the</b> <b>service.</b><i><br/></i></p> <p><b>You'll have the opportunity to try a spiritual exercise in singing the HU, a love song</b> <b>to God.</b></p> <p><b>You are warmly invited to participate.</b></p> <p><b><br/></b>  </p> <p>Open to all those looking to find more wisdom, love, inner peace and spiritual freedom in their lives, through better understanding of dreams, past lives and the personal way the universe speaks to us daily. Move naturally and easily into higher areas of awareness and help life flow in a smoother and happier direction. One form of personal meditation we explore is known as a "Spiritual Exercise". This form of simple meditation, using your creative imagination, strengthens your inner guidance and helps you recognize your true identity as Soul, an eternal and divine spark of God.</p> <p>Nothing needs to be taken on faith. Experience it yourself.</p> <p>Have you had one of the following spiritual experiences? Come and share; learn more about connecting to direct guidance and achieving personal growth.</p> <p style="padding-left : 30px">* Past-life recall or having a sense that you have lived before (in a meditation or dream)</p> <p style="padding-left : 30px">* Dreams -- that opened awareness, expanded your consciousness, told of a future event, gave you an answer</p> <p style="padding-left : 30px">* Out-of-body or near death experience * Seeing an inner light</p> <p style="padding-left : 30px">* Hearing an inner sound</p> <p style="padding-left : 30px">* Inner guidance (angel, spiritual master, departed loved one)</p> <p style="padding-left : 30px">* Knowingness (intuition, coincidence, d&eacute;j&agrave; vu)</p> <p style="padding-left : 30px">* Unconditional love (from a family member, friend, pet, etc.)</p> <p style="padding-left : 30px">* Sense of oneness, divine love</p> <p style="padding-left : 30px">* Connection with all life -- greater awareness, feeling of inner peace</p> <p>Creative techniques are discussed in these Meetups to further explore our inner worlds. Similar to meditation, yet more active, these contemplation techniques, such as singing the ancient love song to God, HU, (pronounced 'hue") helps with self improvement, brings self empowerment through greater inner understanding, opens consciousness, helps in understanding how karma is created, how to work through it, and gives guidance on how to achieve states of Self and God Realization.</p> <p>HU, this ancient and sacred word for God, can be found in the Jewish Kabala, Christian Gregorian chant, Buddhism, the Sufi teachings, Chinese Taoism, as well as in the path of Eckankar. It is a universal word with a very high vibration. You are invited to try it anytime you would like, either out loud or silently to experience the effects for yourself.

100529802 1673341 <p>Interested in speed dating on a Sunday evening?</p> <p>This event Sunday is for men and women at The Cupping Room Cafe</p> <p>At present we need men (and only men) aged 40 to 55 although there's a little flexibility in the age range.</p> <p>Also don't worry if only a few people sign up on the Meetup as people will be attending from different sources.</p> <p>Grab friends and come along to The Cupping Room Cafe to meet other energetic NYC singles, and pick out those you feel a connection with and would like to meet again.<br/>This promises to be a lot of fun, so you're highly encouraged to come down.<br/>To get your spot, you must RSVP on the MeetUp site AND please also e-mail me directly at <a href="mailto:[masked]">[masked]</a> to say you want to come. As this is a speed-dating event, and the balance of men and women is very important, I will need to correspond with you briefly by e-mail to confirm your attendance. If you're looking for more details about this event, please visit the New York EasyDates website.<br/>Hope you can make it!<br/>regards,</p> <p>Daniel</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Speed-dating can be expensive. The entry price alone is around $35 to $40, and then you have the drinks and transportation... This would all be fine if you felt pretty sure you were going to meet your one-and-only that night, but often you simply need to go a few times to come across the person that's right for you.</p> <p>Don't get us wrong - we're huge fans of speed-dating. We think it way better than online dating, as you can not beat a quick face-to-face encounter to establish if the chemistry is right. We'd just like to make it a little cheaper, especially in times when we're all being conscious about what we spend our money on. And remember, the product is actually you, and the other 30 fabulous NYC singles attending - why should we pay $40 for that.</p> <p>Our aim is simple - we want to inform our members of cheap or free spots at speed-dating events, and/or ensure that you're enjoying a free or inexpensive drink or appetizers while you there.</p> <p>This is not as hard as you might think. Unlike other singles events, speed-dating companies must almost exactly balance the number of men and women attending. It's not uncommon(for example) for a speed-dating company to be short eight women aged 28-37 the night before the event. They contact us, we shoot for free or maximum $10 spots, and everyone is happy.</p> <p>Now, here's the catch. We need you to play your part - in other words, if you rsvp to say you want to come, then you do need to show up. And at the event, as many of the participants will have paid full price, then to avoid any grumpiness, we would ask that you don't share your discounted or free rate.</p> <p>So if you're someone who is single and looking to date, is budget conscious, and can be a little flexible and spontaneous when offers come your way, then this Meetup group is for you! And there is no downside to joining - we'll simply inform you of free or cheap spots, and if you want to come, you rsvp. We will then contact you to let you know if you have a spot (i.e., you don't have a spot just by RSVPing here, you have a spot once you register with a free or discount code on the speed-dating site).</p> <p>Looking forward to helping you get dates!</p> <p>Jen</p>

Whether it is popularized cuisine from countries like France, Italy, Spain, or China, or lesser known cuisine from countries like Ethiopia, Columbia, or Vietnam, they are forced together under "ethnic food".</p> <p>Now, using common sense, we know that when people use this term they are not speaking about every single food preparation in the world. My question is this: What are people referring to when they say "ethnic food"?</p> <p> </p>
10053334 1349407 <p>Basic Pranic Healing</p> <p>Join us in learning the ancient art of Pranic Healing. Learn to heal your self, your loved ones and even remote healing.</p> <p>Pranic Healing</p> <p>Everyone has the innate ability to heal and relieve pain. With PRANIC HEALING, you can easily learn to cultivate and awaken this power within you to help yourself and others in a very short time. It is easy to learn. Any relatively healthy person with average intelligence, the ability to concentrate, that has an open but discriminative mind and a certain amount of persistence can learn PRANIC HEALING.</p> <p>What is PRANIC HEALING?sm<br/>PRANIC HEALING is a revolutionary and comprehensive system of natural healing techniques that utilizes ìpranaî to treat various illnesses. Prana is a Sanskrit word literally meaning "life-force", the invisible bio-energy or vital energy that keeps the body alive and maintains a state of good health. The Japanese call this subtle energy "Ki", the Chinese "Chi", while the Greeks refer to it as "Pneuma". In Polynesian it is known as "Mana", and in Hebrew, "Ruach" - meaning "Breath of Life." As an art and science, PRANIC HEALING was widely practiced in ancient civilizations in China, Egypt and India.</p> <p>Using a "no-touch" methodology, PRANIC HEALING utilizes prana to initiate specific biochemical changes to accelerate the body's innate ability to prevent, alleviate, and heal a whole spectrum of physical, emotional, and mental ailments. The methods are simple and fairly easy to understand; anyone can learn and apply PRANIC HEALING in no time at all. Physical touch in not necessary because the practitioner applies PRANIC HEALING on the Energy Body rather than on the physical body.</p> <p>PRANIC HEALING is currently being taught to doctors, nurses, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, shiatsu practitioners, and many others in the healing field. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible. These professionals find PRANIC HEALINGsm very effective and easy to apply.</p> <p>In the palm of your hands are energy centers called chakras. Through a simple exercise, taught by Mr. Co, these chakras will be activated. Once activated, these chakras will become sensitive to feeling other's energy. You can scan that energy field to locate blockages and be able to cleanse, energize and revitalize the area with new prana. You will also learn techniques to stop the drain of energy on your body that many health practitioners experience while working on others. You will actually energize yourself while your are healing someone else!</p> <p>This is an experiential workshop. During class time, all the principles will be explained thoroughly and the techniques practiced exhaustively so you will be confident in your ability to produce positive results when you finish the course.</p> <p>Just Some of What You Will Learn:</p> <p>* Energetic Anatomy - you will work with each energy center to accelerate the healing processes of the physical organs they control<br/>* Preventative healing- remove the negative energetic patterns of a disease to prevent it from fully manifesting as a sickness<br/>* Self PRANIC HEALING - applying techniques to accelerate your own healing<br/>* Step-by-step techniques for ailments related to:<br/>Respiratory (e.g. asthma)<br/>Circulatory ( e.g. heart ailments)<br/>Gastrointestinal (e.g.irritable bowel syndrome)<br/>Musculoskeletal (e.g. arthritis and back pain)<br/>Migraine headaches<br/>sinusitis<br/>Reproductive (e.g. menstrual problems)<br/>and other common illnesses<br/>* Distant Healing to heal as effectively at a distance as when your subject is present and more</p> Experience the soothing benefits of a Pranic Healing session and enjoy our 'Planetary Peace Meditation'. Each session is followed with a discussion on how to integrate these techniques into your life to reduce stress and find your path. Learn how to meditate, experience healing, getting off the roller coaster. Hope to see you there.

100535022 2763092 <p>A short evening of Boggle. This might appeal only to native English speakers as we'll play in English. Other word games are welcome as well (if anyone has Bananagrams for example). Location will be sent to participants on the day. You can also message me directly.</p> <p>I think the ridiculous title of this group says it all. This group is all about meeting fellow gaming- enthusiasts and having a fun, laid back time over your favorite board games! I hope that this group enables you to meet new people from a variety of social and cultural backgrounds, as well as learn new games and teach others your favorite games!</p> <p>So how should you use this group? Well I want to keep this introduction short, so you should head over to "Discussion #1: How to use this group" to learn more. I hope to see you soon!</p>

100537702 4072162 <p>No, not the clocks that was last week!  With spring only a few days away it's time to get back in full swing and play some golf.  The Par 3 Club has had some really great times and this round will be no exception.   All are welcome!       </p> <p>Now for the 411:<br/>Flushing Meadows Golf Center is located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park Queens. It is next to CitiField and the U.S. Tennis Center. It consists of an 18 hole "pitch &amp; putt" golf course which allows experienced golfers to sharpen up their short game and allows inexperienced golfers an introduction to the wonderful game of golf.  You don't need experience and you don't need to be Tiger Woods!  All you need to do is RSVP "yes" and join the friendly and encouraging people of the Par 3 Club for another fun round of Par-3 golf.  </p> <p>Price per person: $16.50 (this is the weekend day rate)<br/>Golf Club Rental: $2.00<br/>Golf Balls: $6.00 (for pack of 4)</p> <p>Directions:</p> <p>By Subway - 7 train to Mets-Willets Point Station<br/>By Bus - Q48 to Mets-Willets Point Station<br/>By Car - Grand Central Parkway Exit  9</p> <p>For more information about the venue, their website is:<br/><a href="http://www.golfnyc.com/flushing_pitchputt_home/"><a href="http://www.golfnyc.com/flushing_pitchputt_home/" class="linkified">http://www.golfnyc.com/flushing_pitchputt_home/</a></a></p> <p>Welcome to The Par 3 Club. Prefer the "executive course" to the full course? Want to improve your pitching and putting? Want to play golf without the smart-alecky criticism from your friends and colleagues? Then join us! The Par 3 Club is for golfers - and beginners - who want to enjoy the game playing at NYCs Par-3 golf courses or driving ranges (for example: Flushing Meadows Park &amp; Randall’s Island). Our Rules: 1. Be friendly, courteous and encouraging to other members. 2. Obey the rules of the course. 3. Pay for your own golf course fee, food, golf balls or club rentals (if you do not have your own). 4. If you RSVP “yes” please be on time. 5. Have fun! Events with more than 4 participants will need to break up into smaller groups (most courses have a 4-player per group maximum.) The average round of Par-3 golf takes between 2 and 3 hours. For events at the driving range, stay as long as you like. Join us for a fun summer with new friends, green grass, trees and birdies - bogeys are okay, too! Don’t forget your 9-iron, pitching wedge, and putter. See you on the golf course.</p>

10053844 687322 <p>This event is the very reason why I started this meetup group! I've been wanting to create encourage banners for years now.</p> <p>Think of something encouraging you often tell yourself or wish someone would tell you.<br/>For example: <i>Everything will be ok</i> Or <i>You don't have to be perfect</i> Or <i>Someone will love you soon.</i></p> <p>At this event we are going to make a collaborative banner with an encouraging sentence.<br/><b>Bring old clothes, fabric, fabric glue, twine, string, colored paper, glue, paint, needles and thread.</b><br/>When we complete our banner, we are going to hang it up somewhere outside. Than lets see how passer-byers react to it.</p> <p>When you Debaucherous Ones go home I would like you all to make a encourage banner for yourself. Something you need to hear and remind yourself everyday. Hang your homemade banner in your home. Take a picture of your hung banner and send it to Betty or post it on this meetup site.</p> <p>On March 28th take it down and roll it up and bring it to the very next meetup <a href="http://www.meetup.com/BettySpaghetti/calendar/9218157/?from=list&amp;offset=0">Collaborative Project II: Hanging of the Banners</a>. Yes, the banner you have created for yourself will give inspiration and hope to someone else. We will travel NYC and hang our banners in the streets, subway platforms, parks.</p> <p><br/>Find out more about art projects like this on<a href="http://learningtoloveyoumore.com/reports/63/63.php"> Learning To Love You More</a></p> <p><span>“</span> This Meetup Group offers a variety of activiti<span>es as well as getting to meet some great people.</span> <span>”</span><span>—</span> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Zorkas-BusinessArt/members/745754/">Linda Storac</a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/Zorkas-BusinessArt/members/745754/">e</a></p> <p><span>“</span> a cool adventure just may await you! <span>”</span><span>—</span> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Zorkas-BusinessArt/members/5024870/">fabian</a></p> <p><span>“</span> My first adventure with the group.

Tired of feeling hungover and sluggish Monday morning from all the cheap beer and chips and dip? Then why not spend your Sunday with The Rice Table and experience the Super Bowl of dinners known as the Rijsttafel!</p> <p>Chef Chris Reed and his staff wish to welcome you to the bold Dutch custom of the Rijsttafel - the native cuisine of Indonesia that the Dutch discovered when expanding on their empire. Some 400 years in the making, the Rijsttafel consists of a treasure trove of Old World delicacies, brought to life and executed to perfection in this monthly informal dinner party. Whether you've been with us previously or a first-time adventurous meal-seeker, you will be thrilled with what will be presented to you.</p> <p>The rijsttafel dinner is $45/person, tax included. Beverages, including beer and wine, will be sold seperately. Limited seating available.</p> <p><a href="http://thericetable.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=03e6bab6d2950892db1cccf29&amp;id=0715a9ba10&amp;e=9420d818aa">Full Menu</a></p> <p><b>RSVPing here will not get you in.

Make sure you get your ticket for the 5:30 pm seating.</b></p> <p><b>Window to the World</b></p> <p>Chicago is a wonderfully diverse city; each culture has its personality, language, customs, traditions, and cuisine. Each month we will explore various geographical regions by visiting restaurants deemed representative of the cuisines of those regions.</p> <p>Each restaurant has been selected based on critical reviews, uniqueness, or Zagat or Michelin recommendations (NEVER Yelp, or Check, Please!, or Diners, Drive-Ins, and Drives. Do not even make a recommendation because the restaurant had been featured on any of those; that's one sure way to ensure it will never be included on our schedule). Selections run the gamut from simple street food to 12-course meals fit for royalty. This means sometimes there will be dishes and dining practices that are very unfamiliar, but that's the fun of culinary exploration.</p> <p>Currently, we average about three to four Meetups a month, so hopefully some will fit your schedule. <a href="http://www.meetup.com/The-International-Supper-Club-of-Chicago/pages/Past%2C_Scheduled%2C_and_Suggested_meetups">Click here</a> to check out our future Meetups. We hope you will find at least one that will interest you.</p> <p>All meetups have been planned with the goal of enjoying a wonderful meal with wonderful company in mind. However, while meeting new people and reacquainting with old friends make the meal more enjoyable, the meal is, and always will be, the chief focus of each meetup. Please do not take up precious spots if you are not interested in the main attraction (like going to Garlic Fest if you don't like garlic in your food or a Mexican dinner and you don't eat spicy food).</p> <p>Oh, by the way, this is a dictatorship, not a democracy. We go when and where the organizer wants to go, and approval or revocation of membership is solely at the discretion of the organizer. And the word "ethnic" is taboo.</p> <p><span>If the presence of another member makes you uncomfortable, please let us know immediately so the offending member will be removed and banned.</span></p> <p><span>Please note that ISCChicago has a </span><a href="http://www.meetup.com/The-International-Supper-Club-of-Chicago/pages/No_Show_Policy/">No Show Policy</a><span>. In addition to no-shows, excessive last-minute cancellations will also likely get you removed and banned.</span></p> <p><span>Banned members will not be reinstated. There is no period after which a banned member can re-apply to join.</span></p> <p>Anyone who has been banned or has had their membership revoked and attempts to attend an event either by attending as another member's guest or without a proper RSVP may be asked to sit elsewhere if the event is held at a public venue or asked to leave if the meetup is a private event.<br> </p> <p>For those of you who are interested in the more exotic elements of the culinary world, please check out our other Meetup group, <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Adventurous-Eating/">Adventurous Eating</a>.

100543152 1810145 <p>Though I hadn't been to Mars Bar in ages, I still have fond memories of the times I spent there and felt like a part of my youth had died, when it closed down last year.</p> <p>Here's the synopsis for MY MARS BAR MOVIE:</p> <p>MY MARS BAR MOVIE<br/>by Jonas Mekas<br/>2011, 87 min, video<br/>Share +</p> <p> </p> <p>Film Notes</p> <p>ENCORE SCREENINGS!<br/>Premiered here at Anthology last spring, MY MARS BAR MOVIE, Jonas Mekas’s ode to the now-vanished but never-forgotten local dive bar, is back for two encore screenings!<br/>Our neighbor ever since we moved to the Second Avenue Courthouse building in 1988, the Mars Bar represented an undiluted blast of the old East Village, keeping alive the punk sensibility and anarchic attitude that are increasingly becoming things of the past in this part of the city. Though its site has been occupied by yet another glass condo building, the Mars Bar nevertheless lives on through Mekas’s lens!</p> <p>“For some twenty years, Mars Bar, at the corner of First Street and Second Avenue, Manhattan, has been my bar. That’s where we went for beer and tequila whenever we had to take a break from our work at Anthology Film Archives, and it was also a bar where most of those who came to see movies at Anthology ended up after the shows. We always had a great time at Mars Bar. It was always open, there was always the jukebox, and very often there was no electricity, and it was old and messy and it didn’t want to be any other way – it was the last escape place left in downtown New York. So this is my love letter to it, to my Mars Bar. Mars Bar as I knew it.” –J.M.</p> <p> </p> <p>Mondo Culto is a thriving, obsessive, and elaborate "be-in" for friends of Cult Films and the stepping to the punk beat of the East Village: Ass Juice at the Double Down, Karoake at Planet Rose, Cheese Fries at Crif Dogs, and Midnight Movies at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema are just some of the staples of La Vida Mondo Culto. So if you like living after midnight and rocking till the dawn, The Mondo Culto Experience is for you!</p>

100545432 1810145 <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/0/5/a/event_197308762.jpeg" /></p> <p><b>review</b> <a href="http://www.allmovie.com/artist/walter-hill-p94395">Walter Hill</a>'s low-key film about a National Guard detachment that runs into trouble in Cajun swamplands is a much underrated, quietly disturbing thriller. Seemingly another <a href="http://www.allmovie.com/artist/hill-p94395">Hill</a> film about men being men -- in fact there isn't a woman in sight -- it's actually a biting critique of macho behavior as well as a haunting Vietnam allegory. While on a training exercise deep in Louisiana bayou country, some of the buffoonish part-time warriors steal some Cajun pirogues, triggering a far more devastating response than they had anticipated. As the apparently invisible locals begin picking them off one by one, their frantic attempt to escape takes them ever farther into territory that their predators know much better than they. Although the film has overtones of <a href="http://www.allmovie.com/movie/deliverance-v13142">Deliverance</a>, the director implies that it's not nature, but the arrogance and stupidity of its characters that have sealed their fate. As the sanest of the guardsmen, <a href="http://www.allmovie.com/artist/powers-boothe-p7388">Powers Boothe</a> and <a href="http://www.allmovie.com/artist/keith-carradine-p84256">Keith Carradine</a> do solid work, and <a href="http://www.allmovie.com/artist/peter-coyote-p15513">Peter Coyote</a> also makes his presence felt during his brief screen time. <a href="http://www.allmovie.com/artist/hill-p94395">Hill</a> seems to have banned the sun during shooting, and cameraman <a href="http://www.allmovie.com/artist/andrew-laszlo-p98823">Andrew Laszlo</a> employs a palette of dank greens, grays, and browns to create an ambiance of feral menace.</p> <p> </p> <p>I would encourage buying your tickets in advance for this film, as Walter Hill doesn't do many appearances at screenings of his films: Here's the link so you can buy your tix in advance: <a href="http://www.92y.org/Tribeca/Event/Walter-Hill.aspx" class="linkified">http://www.92y.org/Tribeca/Event/Walter-Hill.aspx</a></p> <p>Mondo Culto is a thriving, obsessive, and elaborate "be-in" for friends of Cult Films and the stepping to the punk beat of the East Village: Ass Juice at the Double Down, Karoake at Planet Rose, Cheese Fries at Crif Dogs, and Midnight Movies at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema are just some of the staples of La Vida Mondo Culto. So if you like living after midnight and rocking till the dawn, The Mondo Culto Experience is for you!</p>

I hope to see the Chicago Classical Meetup Group again! -Katie</p> <p>Meet others who love the classical music! Attend concerts and events at locations throughout Chicagoland!</p> <p>We recently had a new leadership group more in. The first thing I did upon taking the Organizer role is choose a qualified and classical-savvy co-Orgonizer.  The second thing I did was read the group reviews. I am going to endeavor to make every event I attend one in which the group is easy to find and there is social time planned before and/or after the concert.</p> <p>Stay tuned, and please provide any ideas that come up! If you know of a new event, feel free to contact any organizer so they can designate an event coordinator and post it to the group.</p>

100550472 6566782 <p>Let's meetup and do some ice skating.</p> <p>Aside from being fun, ice skating is a good workout and a nice practice for anyone who enjoys winter sports, especially skiers - the balance/movements you go through on skis and ice skates are very similar.<br/>If you are a beginner skier or you plan to learn skiing this season, you'll have one more reason to join us for some ice skating...I'll give you some basic tips and help you get going on the ice.</p> <p>Citi Pond at Bryant Park is Manhattan's first and only free admission ice skating rink. Back for its seventh season, Citi Pond is one of NYC's most treasured winter destinations.</p> <p><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/f/6/0/event_178748032.jpeg" /></p> <p><b>Schedule:</b><br/>The plan is to meet at 9:30 AM inside the rink facility by the lockers.<br/>(Entrance to the facility is from the 40th street, middle of the block)<br/>This is where we will change and put ice skates on before proceeding to the ice.<br/><b>Bring a lock</b> - lockers are free, but if you do not have one you'll have to either buy it at the counter ($7) or check in your bag (and pay a $7 or $10 fee).<br/>I realize 9:30 AM is a bit early, but until we figure out who can skate on what level it's for the best.<br/>From the experience, the major concern and source of insecurity for the people learning how to ice skate are the kids zooming past them from all direction while on the ice...<br/>Early on Sunday morning, there is only a few people skating, so we get more space to practice and enjoy, and less kids to worry about.<br/>Once everyone in the group is comfortable with skating in a more crowded rink we can change the meetup time and maybe even a day of the week - we could do some after work skate metups on Wednesdays or Thursdays evenings...</p> <p><b>Cost:</b><br/>Access to the ice skating rink is free, and so is the use of lockers (you need to bring your lock!).<br/>However, the ice-skates rental is not free.<br/>If you have a pair of ice skates, then you won't pay a dime; but if you do not have your own ice-skates, and can't borrow them from a friend/relative, you'll have to rent them at the facility for $14 for a skating period (you can stay as long as you want 8AM-10PM).<br/>If you plan on ice skating more than 2 times this season, I suggest you to purchase a pair of ice skates; there are some incredibly cheap skates out there - girls can pick up a pair for as low as $30...<br/>Just make sure they fit you OK (thigh but not blistering tight), get the cheapest pair, and disregard all selling points salesman will try to put out there...</p> <p> <b>Transportation:</b><br/>Getting to the Bryant park is easy.<br/>Take subway line B,D,F or M to the 42nd Street - Bryan park stop...<br/>or 7 line to the 5th Ave stop...<br/>or N, R, Q, 1, 2 or 3 line to the Times Square - 42nd Street stop and walk one Ave block east.<br/>The entrance to the ice skating rink is from the south side of the park - 40th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues.</p> <p><b>What to wear:</b><br/>What usually works best for me is a base layer top (thin, body tight, moisture wick shirt) with a warm sweater on the top, a scarf, a warm hat, and a pair of gloves; everything else stays in the locker - it could be a bit cold at first, but as soon as you start skating you'll start rolling your sleeves up; Again, this is what works for me - you may want to adjust the amount/type of clothing to best fit your needs.<br/>Cell phones are not permitted on the ice - if you need to make a call/send text, you have to step off the ice.</p> <p><b>Checking in:</b><br/>When you enter the facility you will be directed to the counter where they will ask you if you have your own skates or if you need to rent a pair, ask you to sign a waiver and give you a bracelet.<br/>After you get the bracelet, you can proceed to the lockers area.<br/>There are some snacks/drinks sold at the facility but the prices are as they usually are in places like this...I recommend bringing a bottle of water/drink and keeping it in your locker...</p> <p>This is a group for people looking to escape the city routine and enjoy in the great outdoors of the Northeast. If you are interested in hiking, camping, backpacking, whitewater rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, skiing and other similar activities but your friends do not share your passion for the nature and high adrenaline sports - you came to the right place...Adventure Outlet will enable you to get in touch with like-minded people, and join them on one of the adventures. If you know of a great hiking trail in your area, or you found a piece of undiscovered nature and you would like to share it with others - even better. Contact us, and we will help you plan and host an event. Our goal is to build a close-knit group of outdoors enthusiasts and provide a friendly and stress free environment.</p>

We will stop and meet at one of my favorite watering hole - THE BRAT STOP. I of course will have one of my favorite traditional drink in Wisconsin - A BLOODY MARY FOLLOW BY A CHASER! And for your added pleasure, and since this is going to be kind of a high caloric and cholesterol filled day, The Brat Stop does serve breakfast! My recommendation is to try their eggs, brat saugsage, cheese, muffin sandwich. It's put McDonald's to shame.</p> <p>THERE WILL BE A 30 MEMBER LIMIT! THE BOAT CAN'T FIT ALL OF US!</p> <p>Last year cost was $35 and it will remain the same. That is, if pay by mail. If you use the paypal account it will be $40.

10055465 323645 <p>"Reading LOST" has entered an official alliance with the NYC LOST meetup (which we hope will be more copacetic than the alliance between Ben and Sayid, and with a smaller body count!). We now fall under the umbrella of our illustrious leader Tom's mega meetup and we're energized! Join our LOST book group as we take LOST very, very seriously and read all its literary references!</p> <p>In April we will be reading Vonnegut's <i>Slaughterhouse Five</i>. Join us as we speculate as to how the time shifts in this book relate to the many shifts in season five of LOST. In addition, recall the fourth season episode "Meet Kevin Johnson." Michael is contemplating suicide while a gameshow in the background has a contestant providing the answer "Kurt Vonnegut." According to Lostpedia, one theory about the meaning of the "constant" in the fourth season relates to the idea of <i>karass</i> in <i>Slaughterhouse Five</i>. A <i>karass</i> is a group of people whose fates are intertwined, as perhaps Faraday's fate is intimately related to that of his constant, Desmond. We hope to see you at this meetup where we chat about this and more.</p> <p>Snacks are provided. You may purchase a beverage at one of the adjacent coffeestands.</p> <p>Please include all guests' first names in your RSVP comment. This assists in name tag preparation and/or comes in handy if/when your guest shows up before you do.</p> <p>Legal Disclaimer: This fansite is not in any way, shape, or form affiliated with ABC, Bad Robot Productions or Disney.

One thing I've noticed: there always seems to be an equal number of male/female, young/old, experienced/beginner, of all types and ethnicities - reflective of our fair city. This group is a very open, equal, and diverse community, and most of all very welcoming &amp; kind!! In case you're wondering, I encourage you to view some comments of the past &amp; current participants here: <a href="http://meditation.meetup.com/320/about/comments/?op=all"><a href="http://meditation.mee" class="linkified">http://meditation.mee</a>...</a></p> <p>The location for our Monday evening meditation will be at The Yoga Boutique: 655 W. Irving Park Rd, Suite 102, right at the corner of Irving Park &amp; Pine Grove. NOTE ON DIRECTIONS: This is a condo building - ENTER FROM PINE GROVE, UNDER THE AWNING THAT SAYS, "PARK PLACE MARKET". This location is very conveniently located a 5-minute stroll East along Irving Park from the Red Line "Sheridan" Stop, and right off the 151-Sheridan Bus (Pine Grove Stop) &amp; 152-Addison, 80-Irving Park buses. If you are driving, there are several parking options. There is very limited street parking, however there is a somewhat pricey garage in the building (Park Place) for $10 / 2 hours. There is parking around the corner at the Walt Disney Magnet School (4140 N. Marine Dr) for $6 (self-pay, unlimited time). There is also <i>FREE parking</i> across (east of) Lake Shore Dr at Irving/Recreation Dr., near the Waveland Tennis Courts and Totem Pole <i>(this is where I park when I drive - write if you need directions)</i>. For drivers, I encourage carpooling and sharing the expense. If you're looking for riders or a ride, let me or one of the assistants know. We're very lucky to have the place and are deeply grateful to Dana Robert and the Yoga Boutique for their support.</p> <p>When you come to the meetup, remember to wear comfy, loose-fitting clothes. It is not fair to the others to arrive after 8:00pm (unless previously arranged). Thanks in advance for coming early (best) or on time!</p> <p><strong>Welcome Meditators of All Schools &amp; Experience Levels!</strong></p> <p>The purpose of this group is, as the Buddha said, to seek out "wise &amp; beneficial friends" who support us and our Meditation practice. Namely we are looking for a group of beginning &amp; advanced students, and anyone interested who is willing to learn, to motivate each other by coming to (and becoming a regular part of) a weekly sitting meditation group.</p> <p>All teachers agree: The key to a successful meditation practice is a regular practice; and therefore this group is looking for people who realize the benefits of meditating together and who want to make a dedicated effort to sustain a once-weekly meetup for sitting meditation (with instruction, as needed).  Most weeks, a reading with brief discussion &amp; mingling follows.</p> <p>This group is open to all schools of thought and meditation formats, and also for anyone willing to co-organize or suggest events. The development of Wisdom through regular meditation practice can lead to a decrease of "suffering" as well as an increase in Inner Peace and Compassion for oneself &amp; others. Please join us, you are most welcome.</p>
10055504 523869 <p>This month’s first selection from the 1001 Books list is <i>The Master and Margarita</i> by Mikhail Bulgakov.</p> <p>From wikipedia.com. “<i>The Master and Margarita</i> is a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, woven around the premise of a visit by the Devil to the fervently atheistic Soviet Union. Many critics consider the book to be one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, as well as one of the foremost Soviet satires, directed against a suffocatingly bureaucratic social order.</p> <p>Ultimately, the novel deals with the interplay of good and evil, innocence and guilt, courage and cowardice, exploring such issues as the responsibility towards truth when authority would deny it, and the freedom of the spirit in an unfree world. Love and sensuality are also dominant themes in the novel. Margarita's devotional love for the Master leads her to leave her husband, but she emerges victorious. Her spiritual union with the Master is also a sexual one. The novel is a riot of sensual impressions, but the emptiness of sensual gratification without love is emphatically illustrated in the satirical passages.</p> <p>The novel is heavily influenced by Goethe's <i>Faust</i>, and its themes of cowardice, trust, treachery, intellectual openness and curiosity, and redemption are prominent. Part of its literary brilliance lies in the different levels on which it can be read, as hilarious slapstick, deep philosophical allegory, and biting socio-political satire critical of not just the Soviet system but also the superficiality and vanity of modern life in general – jazz is a favorite target, ambivalent like so much else in the book in the fascination and revulsion with which it is presented. But the novel is also full of modern amenities like the model asylum, radio, street and shopping lights, cars, lorries, trams, and air travel. There is little evident nostalgia for any "good old days" – in fact, the only figure in the book to even mention Tsarist Russia is Satan himself. Furthermore, there are strong elements of Magical Realism in the novel.”</p> <p>If the meeting is full and you want to be added to the wait list, please RSVP with the waitlist option. Your RSVP will be changed to "yes" when someone drops out.</p> <p>Please keep your RSVPs up-to-date. No-shows, if at all possible, are to be avoided. Thanks!</p> <p>If you would like to read those books that you feel you ought to have read but have never gotten around to it, then this is the group for you. Book selections will be chosen from "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die," edited by Peter Boxall. The list of books, which comprises selections in many genres from the 1600s-2000s, is in the Files section. We try to have two meetings per month. The main meeting, which I organize, is dedicated to a more modern classic (post-1900) while the second meeting, led by an assistant organizer, will discuss an older book (pre-1900). Our reading list of past and future book selections also can be found in the Files section. Hope you can join us.</p>

With this exhibition, Judy Chicago brings us the feminist re-examination of ancient female figurines from the 1960s, interpreting them as manifestations of goddess-worshipping societies. This was at the fore of feminist thought at the time.</p> <p>Nine ancient figurines from the Museum's collection are the focus of this third Herstory Gallery exhibition, which explores them as a source of inspiration for Judy Chicago's depiction of <a href="http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/eascfa/dinner_party/place_settings/fertile_goddess.php">The Fertile Goddess</a> at <a href="http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/dinner_party/index.php">The Dinner Party</a>. The tenth figurine, on loan from Judy Chicago, is the Ceramic Goddess #3 (1977), a larger version of the female figurine on the place setting runner for The Fertile Goddess at The Dinner Party. This contemporary embodiment also evokes the rare and earliest known female forms of the Paleolithic period, like the iconic Venus of Willendorf, made about 25,000 years ago. Important to Chicago was the feminist re-examination of ancient female figurines from the 1960s on, interpreting them as manifestations of goddess-worshipping societies, which was at the fore of feminist thought at the time.</p> <p>This exhibition is co-curated by Madeleine E.

You can also bring a support person or two. While the support people won't be ignored, the focus of the group will be for those on the spectrum. The 16 and up age range is being "tested" out so will be in effect for the next couple months on a trial basis.</p> <p>We meet from 7:00-9:00pm at the New Beginnings Church, main floor in the room with blue carpeting (to the left as you walk in.)</p> <p>Snacks are provided... but not drinks, so make sure to bring something along if you want something. Group members are also welcome to bring snacks to share with group. If you are planning on doing so, please let me know.</p> <p> <b>TOPICS:</b><br/>We will start with short introductions, giving everyone a chance to meet people they don't know and tell a little bit about what's going on in their lives.</p> <p>After that, one member will have the opportunity to give a short presentation about something that is important to him or her. The first to RSVP letting me know they're interested in doing a talk will be allowed to. <i>This will only be UP TO 15 minutes of group.</i> -- Claimed by Branden. Topic: His cartoons</p> <p>Topic suggested by Chris: “How well do you think neurotypical people understand your issues/needs/concerns?” Come prepared to talk about this. If you can come up withe some specific examples of needs that have been understood and needs that have not been understood that would help our conversation. Also, what have you tried to help others understand your needs, concerns, outlook, etc? What has worked and what hasn't? Maybe as a group, we can come up with ways to help others understand.</p> <p>As always, there also will be time for talk about about whatever and get to know each other. :-)</p> <p>Welcome to CASPAN, the Chicago Autism SPectrum Adult (and Teen) Network! Meet with local teens, young adults and adults affected by Asperger's, autism, PDD-NOS, and related autistic spectrum and pervasive developmental issues. Both formally and self-diagnosed people attend regularly. We have several different groups around the Chicago area. We currently list support groups that meet in Barrington, Palos Hills, Naperville, Palatine, and downtown Chicago. We additionally have groups just for Women on the Spectrum and the LBGTQ Community on the Spectrum. In addition to the monthly support groups, we have more casual social activities. Keeping the needs of people with Asperger's in mind, these social outings periodically meet at various locations. We have also attended and tabled at a number of autism conferences around the Midwest. We are always looking for suggestions for future activities, discussion topics, and new groups. If you are looking for information on the GRASP Chicago group in Evanston, please visit http://www.grasp.org/res_sg.htm . *A parent or guardian must register teen members under 18, per Meetup regulations. *Please check the ages for each group before RSVPing.</p>

10055985 1359082 <p>This will be an introductory meetup to discuss Acupuncture, how it works, and how it can work for individuals. We can cover TCM, APM, and 5 element styles , however the main thrust will be KM or Kiiko Matsumoto style. There will be reflex demonstrations on willing volunteers by Toni King M.S. L. Ac., all others wanting reflex screening may stay after the discussion for a private screening. Each Screening lasts from 5 to 15 minutes, and distal points will be used with acupuressure so that the reflexes change and the volunteer can report back to the meetup group on how the sensations changed for them. No needles will be used on participants. One free acupuncture treatment will be raffled off (no charge) to willing participants to be performed at a later date in private. Toni King is a fully insured Acupuncturist, Licensed in the State of New York.</p> Meet other locals to discuss Acupuncture, specifically KM style Acupuncture, and how it can help to maintain or increase health and wellness, decrease stress, lower or eliminate pain (acute, idiopathic, or chronic), and manage symptoms of chronic conditions for optimal health and quality of life. Specific meetups will address: *Moxibustion, cupping, gua sha/Kirik *Mei Zen facial acupuncture.(Sometimes called "Acupuncture Face lift"). Meetup will discuss what it is, how it works, and what results can be expected. Meetup will include screening for suitability. * Reflexes and what they means in KM Style. Members can participate in an evaluation of their personal reflexes, discuss why they may have them and see what it takes to change them. Those who may not want to be evaluated for the edification of the group may make arrangements for a private reflex analysis at the end of the meetup, time permitting. *Gua Sha in the family. Gua Sha has been used successfully for centuries in the family to fight the common cold, flu, and muscular aches and pains, just to name a few applications. It uses simple tools that are easily acquired, and it is easy to learn- although it may take a lifetime to master! ( You don't have to be a master to get good results and reap the health benefits for your family). It is time to introduce this simple yet profound technique to the American mainstream. This meetup group will attempt to do just that. We will also discuss possible legal pitfalls when using Gua Sha with children and the elderly and what you can do to prevent misunderstandings in your community. This technique has many names in many countries, Gua Sha is but one name, another well known name is Kirik. Most people find it very pleasant and relaxing- somewhat on the level of a deep tissue massage. * Acupuncture and Western Medicine/ where does acupuncture fit in the big picture of your personal healthcare? * Topical discussions of Acupuncture and the symptoms of: Acute or chronic injuries from sports and martial arts training, Diabetes, Hypertension, Low blood pressure, Insomnia, Lung problems, Thyroid issues, Sinus problems, Heart conditions, Low platelet count, Cancer, COPD, Edema, Poor Circulation, Knee or Joint pain, Back Pain, Migraines and Headaches, Infertility, Stroke, Calf Pain or Spasms, Weight loss, Kidney disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Fatty Liver, Inflammation in the body, Musclular Spasms, Substance Abuse Cessation (cigarrette, alcohol, controlled or illegal substances): or any topic brought up during the meetup. ( The proceeding list is by no means complete, topics will be discussed in the order that most participants are interested in, there may be multiple sessions per topic, or multiple topics per session- time and interest permitting).
100559862 1443795 <p>I want to thank all of you who are hanging tough and not letting a little snow -- OK, a lot of snow -- interfere with our luncheon buffet plans Sunday. And I appreciate that those who did need to cancel did so in a timely fashion.</p> <p>We're all set at 37 members attending and Yvonne, who organized this week's meetup, and I are looking forward to seeing all of you Sunday at noon.</p> <p>Please try to come a little early and don't forget, the total cost is $29, please bring exact change to make it a little easier on our hosts. Dress is casual. Drinks are extra.</p> <p>Peter</p> <p> </p> <p>***</p> <p>Please note slight price drop - cost for everything (except drinks) is $29. Please bring exact change.</p> <p>Also, new members, please note: We encourage you to firm up your commitment to attend by Friday. After Friday, withdrawing your name from attendance hurts both us and the restaurant that is setting aside room and food for a set number of guests. We ask you to please honor your commitment to attend except, of course, should an emergency arise.</p> <p>* * *</p> <p>Happy new year!<br/>It's been a while since we last met, but we couldn't let a Valentine's Day week go by without our own celebration.<br/>I want to thank Yvonne for graciously offering to do the arrangements for this meetup. Things have been hectic for me recently and I appreciate her offering to step up to the plate to oversee this event.<br/>We last went to Bel Posto early last fall and had a wonderful buffet brunch. We're going to do it again, and for those who couldn't make it, here's a rundown of what the buffet -- $29 includes everything, buffet, tax and tip -- will include:<br/>Selection of Chilled Fresh Squeezed Juices<br/>Seasonal Fresh Fruit and Berries<br/>Scrambled Eggs / Home fried Potatoes<br/>Applewood Smoked Bacon/Breakfast Sausage<br/>French Toast, Waffles and Pancakes<br/>Blintzes with Fruit Compote<br/>Artisan Breads, Bagels and Breakfast Pastries<br/>Assorted Meats, Cheeses and Vegetables<br/>3 Hot Chaffers: Your Choice of Chicken, Fish and Pasta<br/>Selection of Teas and Fresh Brewed Coffees<br/>Additional Breakfast Suggestions<br/>Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce<br/>Norwegian Smoked Salmon<br/>Omelet Station<br/>Carving Station<br/>-- Alcoholic drinks are not included in the price; they must be paid for separately.<br/>Please sign up early for this event and be sure to bring exact change.<br/>I know we're all anxious to get back together again after a long break since our last dinner.<br/>See you there!<br/>Peter</p> <p>We invite all single professionals in their 40s to 50s to share great food and pleasant conversation in one of the coolest towns for dining in New Jersey - Ridgewood.<br> <br> We'll pick a new location in town for each meet - Ridgewood has more than 60 restaurants, so we'll have plenty to choose from!<br> <br> We will try as best we can to keep our meets evenly divided between men and women. That means we'll be counting on you to give us your confirmation of attendance as early as possible.<br> <br> There is a $3 annual fee to join this group that covers operational expenses. New members are asked to pay via PayPal.<br> <br> Our objective is to have a great time every time. To achieve that, we strictly observe one rule: If you sign up to attend, please make every effort to keep that commitment. If an emergency arises, please make an effort to change your status on our web site or contact me. We ask members to lock in their attendance status by Saturday noon for all Sunday events and cancel ONLY for emergency.<br> <br> WE PERMANENTLY REMOVE ANYONE WHO FAILS TO SHOW UP AND FAILS TO NOTIFY US BEFOREHAND. WE DON'T ASK QUESTIONS AND WE DON'T MAKE EXCEPTIONS.<br> <br> Removal from the group doesn't mean we don't like you or that you're a bad person. It means your perspective on attendance is at odds with ours; we take attendance [i]very seriously[/i]. We can't afford not to because  no-shows hurt our relations with restaurants and make it more difficult to negotiate the best deals. It can also throw off our seating arrangements and numbers of tables allotted to us. It also is an insult to fellow members who may be basing their decision to attend on who else is attending.<br> <br> A couple other requirements: We require all who wish to become members of this group to post a recent photo of themselves. There may be no other faces - family, friends, any one else - in the picture. No pets or animals. And no poses that would be contrary to the image of this group. Your guideline should be: Post an image that you would be proud to use on a job application.<br> <br> Also, we respectfully request that if you wish to bring guests, have them sign up as members of our group -- there is no charge and the process is quick -- and then have them sign up on their own to attend. Please DO NOT add the words "Bringing a guest" when you indicate you will be attending. You will be switched to a waiting list until such wording is removed and your guests sign up separately.</p> <p>Last, your Meetup profile must be unblocked. If you do not wish to publicize your profile, we are sorry but we would request you seek another group to join.<br> <br> Questions, suggestions? Please don't hesitate to contact me.<br> <br> You may reach me at 201 675-5840.<br> <br> See you soon!<br> <br> Peter G<br> <br> * * *</p>
100560672 709584 <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p><b>PRE-PAYMENT IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND.</b></p> <p><b>Please disregard what the Meetup RSVP reminders/confirmations state. You are NOT confirmed for this event unless you pre-pay. RSVPing along does not hold a spot for you.<br/></b></p> <p><b>See payment link below in red font.</b></p> <p><br/><b>We do not accept payment at the door for these events. No exceptions.</b></p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p>Aren't you tired of emailing back and forth with that person from Match.com or OKCupid only to end up being blown off or disappointed? Here's a fun and easy way to cut to the chase, save time and have fun all at the same time.</p> <p>Show up and enjoy happy hour as all guests arrive and check in. Grab a drink and nibble the appetizers while you get ready to meet your matches.</p> <p>Join other single professionals for an early evening happy hour, topped off with about* 7-10 rounds of "mini-dates." You'll meet each member of the opposite sex for 5-7 minutes each (depending on the size of the event), turn in your dating card and then we'll send you the contact info of your mutual matches 48 hours later. On average, 80% of those who attend end up with at least one or two mutual matches.</p> <p>Why only 7-10 rounds? The more choices in front of someone, the less likely they are to  choose and focus on one specific person. We like to avoid replicating the "shopping cart" mentality that occurs with online dating.</p> <p>We intentionally keep our speeddating events limited to 7-10 dating rounds. That way , between the pre-event happy hour and the dating rounds, you can spend more time with each participant and try to determine compatibility. <b>(SEE MORE FAQ's BELOW)</b></p> <p><i><b>If you don't get any matches, you'll receive a promo code so you can try another event at half price!</b></i></p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p><b>APPETIZERS SERVED DURING CHECK IN<br/></b></p> <p><b>PAYMENT POLICY:<br/>$30 (MUST register with code ATWYS7 - codes can not be applied after registration)</b></p> <p><b>$25 IF YOU PREPAY WITH A FRIEND<br/></b></p> <p><b>REGISTER AND PAY HERE:</b> <a href="http://atwysnycspeed2013.eventbrite.com/"><a href="http://atwysnycspeed2013.eventbrite.com/" class="linkified">http://atwysnycspeed2013.eventbrite.com/</a></a></p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p>Absolutely no refunds to cancellations or no-shows.</p> <p>(This policy is to help us ensure a close to even as possible gender ratio.)</p> <p><b>Here's why you should try speeddating:</b></p> <p><b>1. You Improve Your Flirting &amp; Communication skills -</b> You went out, you interacted with people, you worked your flirt a bit. One's inability to interact or communicate effectively is one of the biggest hurdles when it comes to dating.</p> <p><b>2. You Hone Your Dating Instincts -</b> The more exposure you have to such different types of people, the quicker you learn to spot and avoid red flags or incompatibility. You become better at picking up clues and signs.</p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p><b>FAQ'S</b></p> <p><b>The Organizer RSVPD with X amount of people. What does that mean?</b></p> <p>That number represents the RSVPS (not registrations) that have come in through our other pages listed below. It is NOT the total number of people pre-paid. The typical number of people per event is 16-20. <b><br/></b></p> <p><b>What should I wear?</b></p> <p>Business casual attire is perfect. No sneakers or athletic wear, please.</p> <p><b>What if I want to give someone my contact info at the event?</b></p> <p>Go for it! That's the whole point. Do whatever you are comfortable doing.</p> <p><b>Can I see photos of other attendees?</b></p> <p>Most people do not RSVP on meetup for privacy reasons. They only pre-pay and therefore do not share their photo.</p> <p><b>Where are all the RSVPs?</b></p> <p>About 50% of the registrations come through Eventbrite and our <a href="http://andthatswhyyouresingle.com/">main events website</a>. They are not Meetup members. Many people prefer not to post their Meetup profile or photo for privacy reasons. We often remove the event from the calendar once it has started so that people can't contact attendees without the attendee's expressed permission.</p> <p><b>What's The Refund Policy?</b></p> <p>Since we need to try and ensure a gender ratio as close to even as possible, our policy is that all registrations are final. We can not offer refunds or transfers to last minute cancellations. However, if you notify us at least 3 days in advance, we can give you a credit to another event.</p> <p><b>Can I bring a friend for moral support?</b></p> <p>You'd be surprised how many people arrive alone. We actually prefer that guests do not bring friends or "spectators." It makes the other attendees uncomfortable. Fun fact: The people who sign up and arrive alone tend to get more matches than those who attend with friends.</p> <p><b>Will there be equal numbers of men or women?</b></p> <p>That's the goal. We constantly monitor registrations and amp up promotion to try and ensure and equal gender ration. Sometimes there's 1 or 2 more men or women. Sometimes it's even numbers. This is heavily dependent on the age range and weather. <i>We will NOT host an event if there isn't AT LEAST 7 of each gender registered, and we will NOT let there be an excessive (more than 3) amount of one gender versus the other.</i></p> <p><i><br/></i></p> <p><b>PLEASE</b> <b>REMEMBER:</b><br/><i>* We run 3-5 Meetup Groups, plus maintain our own outside <a href="http://www.andthatswhyyouresingle.com/">Dating Advice &amp; Events Website.</a> We advertise on Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, etc. Most registrations come through our outside events website, not Meetup. Therefore the number of RSVPs reflected here are NOT the total number of men or women registered.</i></p> <p><i><b>*This is not a guaranteed number of dates.<br/></b></i></p> <p><i><b>See other RSVPS posted on our other groups. Please note that many people opt NOT to RSVP through Meetup for privacy reasons.</b></i></p> <p>Our events are targeted to upscale/polished professionals ages 21-55 who are looking to make new social contacts. We host weekly speeddating events and various types of happy hours and other social mixers.  I hope you'll join us, as I'm sure you could add great value to our groups.</p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong>Be sure to check your new member welcome email for a discount code to be used towards select events as a thank you for joining the group.</strong></p> <p><span style="font-size : large"><strong>See our dating advice website <a href="http://andthatswhyyouresingle.com">AndThatsWhyYoureSingle.com</a> for great tips!</strong></span></p>

Then we'll head over to the Meat Packing District, where 9th Ave., Gansevoort St., Greenwich St. and Little W. 12th intersect, to line up.

10056376 225184 <p>These classes are designed to provide the experience of self-realization and to impart basic understanding of meditation, balancing techniques and the human system of subtle energies. During these classes, you will learn how to progress with your meditation at home, maintain inner peace, satisfaction and happiness through Sahaja Yoga techniques.</p> <p>The classes are held on Tuesdays 7 to 8 pm in the at the given address (next to Starbucks). This is a beginner level course, its format is educational and practical. Aspiring students finish the course with a certain level of experience of meditation and vibratory awareness, although the level of experience is very individual. The classes do not involve any physical exercise so the type of attire is not important.</p> <p>Meditation is often defined as taking a moment to sit quietly or to ponder. True meditation, however is much more than this. It is state of profound, deep peace that occurs when the mind is calm and silent, yet completely alert. This is just the beginning of an inner transformation that takes us to a higher level of awareness. This enables us to fulfill our true human potential. The problem, of course, is how to achieve this state.</p> <p>Within every human being there is a subtle system of three channels and seven energy centers. At the root of this system lies a creative, protective and nurturing power which is a dormant, maternal energy. When this power is awakened within us, it rises spontaneously through the central channel. It passes through each of the energy centers and emits from the fontanelle bone area on top of the head. The energy can actually be felt on top of the head and on the palms of the hands. Any imbalances in the subtle system can be felt on various parts of each hand. Through this meditation one can learn, not only how to diagnose and decode the state of one's own inner subtle system, but one can also learn very simple cleansing techniques to rebalance oneself.</p>

We usually do a 9:00- 10:00 min pace, depending on how far we go. We usually run anywhere between 6-11 miles. There is a turnaround at mile 3 for those who don't want to go as far. Also, if 6 miles is too far there is another turn around at mile 1.5. My goal for this run is for it to be a very casual and easy run. The point is to make some new friends and get in a nice run while doing that.</p> <p>I hope some of you will be able to join me and motivate me to get out of bed. We will meet at 9am at the large parking lot right by the outdoor skate park. HOPE TO SEE MANY OF YOU THERE!!</p> <p>We are a social group that really enjoys running together. No hype and no elitist attitudes! All skill levels and age groups are welcome. We meet at various locations throughout the city. If you want to do a meetup run in your neighborhood one weekend, just send me a message and I will create a meetup invite. If you are in need of long runs, let me know and I will arrange it as well. Feel free to come and catch up on some miles or if you are NOT a distance run, come anyways and we will circle back around to drop you back at your car. We accommodate all distances and levels.</p>

100574742 419600 <p>First open dinner meeting of the Lilith Cabal of the New York City proto-congregation of the Church of Azazel.</p> <p>The Lilith Cabal will be a group for those members and prospective members of the Church of Azazel who are drawn to Lilith, one of our five <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/belief/risingGods.html">Rising Gods</a> (Lilith, Prometheus, Ishtar, Pan, and Lucifer-of-Sophia).</p> <p>It is envisioned that the Church of Azazel congregation will eventually consist of five Cabals, one for each Rising God.  Over the next few years we plan to build one Cabal at a time, starting with the Lilith Cabal.</p> <p>If you are not familiar with the Church of Azazel paradigm, please spend some time  exploring the <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/">Church of Azazel website</a> before you attend this meeting.  See also the collections of information about Lilith <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Church-of-Azazel-NYC/messages/boards/thread/7901653">here</a> and <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Lilith-NYC/messages/boards/forum/3714422">here</a>.  Also, if you are drawn to Lilith, you are encouraged to participate in the <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Church-of-Azazel-NYC/messages/boards/forum/7827962">Lilith Cabal</a> section of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation's Meetup message board.</p> <p>Please plan to arrive at our meeting before 7:15 PM.  The meeting will have the following format (times approximate):</p> <p><b>7:00 to 7:15:</b> Informal socializing. <b>7:15 to 7:25:</b> Order food. <b>7:25 to 7:50:</b> Introductions and announcements. Tell us a little about your own perspective on Satanism, Luciferianism, "Dark" Paganism, or "Left-Hand-Path" occultism, and also tell us a little about your own personal spiritual/religious history. <b>7:50 to 8:00:</b> Break. <b>8:00 to 8:45:</b> Brief presentation by Diane Vera about the aims of both the Church of Azazel proto-congregation and the Lilith Cabal, followed by discussion. <b>8:45 to 8:55:</b> Break. <b>8:55 to 9:45:</b> Discussion about the Lilith rituals we are developing. <b>9:45 to 10:00 or later:</b> Informal socializing. This meeting is at a diner.  The nearest subway stop is 23rd Street on the C and E lines (8th Avenue).  We are also within 15-minute walking distance of the 6th and 7th Avenue subways, the 23rd Street PATH station, and Penn Station.  The exact address of the diner, and other details, will be visible to you once you join this Meetup group (or log on to Meetup, if you are already a member).</p> <p>You can find us in the BACK part of the diner. Please ask a waiter about "Diane Vera's meetup." At least one or two of us, though probably not most of us, will be wearing black shirts and/or point-down pentagram pendants of some kind. (If you arrive early and are the first to arrive, please have a seat in the BACK part and let the waiter know that you are here for "Diane Vera's meetup.")</p> <p>Newcomers are welcome. Diane Vera, the organizer, will make a point of welcoming all who arrive and encouraging all attendees to tell the rest of us a bit about themselves and their beliefs, to facilitate conversation.</p> <p>However, please note that our open meetings are intended only for people who have a serious interest in the Church of Azazel and who, for the most part, are in agreement with the Church of Azazel's <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/belief/">beliefs and principles</a>. If you are a Satanist but have strong disagreements with the Church of Azazel's paradigm, you are still welcome to attend meetings of <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/">NYC Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists</a>, which welcomes Satanists of all law-abiding kinds, not just prospective members of the Church of Azazel.</p> <p>Also, please plan to spend a minimum of $5 on food or drinks, so that the restaurant where we meet will continue to welcome our business.</p> <p>Please RSVP as soon as you can, with at least a "maybe" if you can't yet say "yes" or "no." The more people RSVP early, the bigger and better our meetups will be, because a reasonably large number of early RSVP's will let other visitors to this site know that we are indeed a live group where they will actually meet some people.</p> <p>If you RSVP "maybe," we would appreciate it very much if you could then change your RSVP to a "yes" or "no" by no later than at least a few days before the event, so that we can have a better idea how big a table to reserve. This is important. Please remember to RSVP.</p> <p>For now, our publicly-announced meetings will be dinner meetings at restaurants in Manhattan. We will also hold private meetings (not announced on this site). At least for now, our rituals will be held at private gatherings only. (The only exception to this, so far, is the brief <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/rituals/purpose.html">affirmation of our common purpose</a>, which may be said at some of our open meetings.)</p> <p>Prospective members of the Church of Azazel are strongly encouraged to attend meetings of both <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/">NYC Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists</a> and <a href="http://www.meetup.com/nyarbb/">New Yorkers Against Religion-Based Bigotry</a> as well as the open meetings of of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation itself. Both these two other groups hold meetings more often than our own open meetings and are a good additional way to get to know us.</p> <p>The Church of Azazel proto-congregation is focused on a specific polytheistic Satanist paradigm developed by Diane Vera, who is also the author of a well-known <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/">website on theistic Satanism</a> and founder of the NYC Satanists/LHP discussion group, a.k.a. <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/">NYC Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists</a>.</p> <p>Those for whom the Church of Azazel is intended are only a small minority among Satanists, especially here in NYC.  (On the other hand, the NYC Satanists/LHP discussion group welcomes Satanists, Luciferians, etc. of many different kinds, both theistic and atheistic, on an equal basis, excluding only those who practice or advocate violent criminal activity in the name of Satan or Satanism.)</p> <p>The Church of Azazel proto-congregation is intended primarily for those polytheistic Satanists who: (1) strongly oppose the religious right wing and have a strong desire to do something about it, on some level (e.g. political, artistic, literary, counter-evangelistic, or whatever), in at least some small way, and/or (2) have a strong desire to defend, or better yet to advance, at least one of the more desirable aspects of the modern world that are seen as "Satanic" by the more authoritarian, fundamentalist, and traditionalist sectors of the major religions.  The Church of Azazel will not be, itself, an activist group, but aims to develop forms of spirituality that can strengthen people who, in one way or another, desire to promote societal progress.</p> <p>For a brief introduction to the aims of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation, please see <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Church-of-Azazel-NYC/about/">our "About" page</a>.</p> <p>Prospective members of the Church of Azazel proto-congregration are asked to get to know us by attending meetings of <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/">the NYC Satanists/LHP discussion group</a> and/or meetings of at least one of the <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/code/risingGodGroups.html">larger independent local groups</a> devoted to one of the five <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/belief/risingGods.html">Rising Gods</a> (Lilith, Prometheus, Ishtar, Pan, and Lucifer-of-Sophia), as well as <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Church-of-Azazel-NYC/">open meetings of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation itself</a> and/or at least one of the Church of Azazel's <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/code/risingGodGroups.html">Cabals</a>. Meetings of all these groups will be announced in "Upcoming events" emails from the Church of Azazel proto-congregation. Once you join this Meetup group, please make sure you are subscribed to "Organizer broadcasts."</p> <p>Please study the <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/">Church of Azazel website</a> before you begin attending meetings of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation or its Cabals.</p> <p>Prospective members are also encouraged to participate on our <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Church-of-Azazel-NYC/messages/boards/">Meetup message board</a>, again after first spending some time studying the Church of Azazel website.</p> <p>If you're interested in joining us, it would be nice if you could also fill out your profile here on this group's Meetup site, as a further way of introducing yourself to us. You don't need to use your legal name or use a real picture of yourself, but please do tell us a little about your perspective on Satanism, your religious background, and your worldview in general.</p>

10057737 140195 <p>We play various strategy boardgames, also called "Eurogames" or "designer games". If you aren't familiar with that terminology, you may recognize a few of the most popular titles, like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Puerto Rico, Agricola, Ra, and Race for the Galaxy. As quoted on Wikipedia, Eurogames are "usually less abstract than chess, but more abstract than wargames. Likewise, they generally require more thought and planning than party games, such as Pictionary or Trivial Pursuit, but less than strategy games, such as chess and Go".</p> <p>If you have a specific game you wish to play, bring it along. Otherwise, you'll likely have a broad choice of games to learn and play because several members usually bring lots of different types of games ranging from "light and frothy" to "heavy and thoughtful", with many choices in between. Most members are very happy to teach you any game you want to learn.</p> <p>Guthrie's is a tavern that invites game play - it has lots of games for play on its shelves though few are of the esoteric kind the Meetup members play.</p> <p>It has a very limited bar menu which includes wings, popcorn, and pizza - if you want to order food, Guthrie's has a bin of menus for local restaurants that deliver to Guthrie's.</p> <p>We generally play between 2-6 pm, since the parking restrictions start at 6 pm in that neighborhood. However, members are often willing to continue gaming at someone's house if enough people are available.</p> <p><span style="color : #000000">We play various strategy boardgames, also called "Eurogames" or "designer games".

On Broadway,  <b>SCARLETT JOHANSSON</b> is facing down a different test – not in front of a camera, but on stage.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><b>SCARLETT JOHANSSON</b> is helming a new Broadway revival of <b>Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,</b> <b>Tennessee Williams's</b> 1955 classic of sexual desire and dishonesty in the American south.</p> <p>Johansson plays the frustrated debutante Maggie the Cat, races around the stage in a fire-red wig and negligee, spitting out her lines in a rapid-fire southern twang.<i>—The Guardian</i></p> <p><i>Cat on a Hot Tin Roof</i> features several recurring motifs, such as social mores, greed, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superficiality">superficiality</a>, mendacity, decay, sexual desire, repression, and death.</p> <p><b>STORY</b></p> <p><b>What Is the Story of <i>Cat on a Hot Tin Roof</i>?</b><br/>Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning drama is the story of a Southern family forced to face the issues they have bottled up inside. Set in the bedroom of a plantation home in the Mississippi Delta, the play tells the story of rich cotton tycoon Big Daddy Pollitt, who is about to celebrate his 65th birthday and is distraught over the troubled relationship between his beloved son Brick and Brick's determined wife Maggie. Brick is an ex-football hero who has turned to drinking, and Maggie yearns for a more fulfilling life and the security of knowing that she and Brick will inherit the Pollitt estate. (Brick's brother Gooper and his wife Mae have other ideas.) <i>Cat on a Hot Tin Roof</i> explores the relationships within a family whose stifled social and sexual behavior bubbles over in startlingly dramatic ways.</p> <p><b>SHOULD I SEE IT?</b></p> <p><b>What Is <i>Cat on a Hot Tin Roof</i> Like?</b><br/>This is the third revival of <i>Cat On a Hot Tin Roof</i> in the past decade, a play famous for its Southern-style decadence and its grand, desperate, tragic and lavish speeches. Over the course of one hot summer night at the family estate in Mississippi, the most cutting and brutally honest lines are tossed, unpleasant truths emerge and greed, lies and repressed sexuality reach a boiling point.

10058067 387087 <p>Flor De Mayo is a Chinese and Spanish cuisine restaurant. This is a longtime personal favorite. There is good depth for each Chinese and Spanish. I lack words to accurately explain (even after eating there a number of times). Each cuisine is served side by side, not fusion style, but one can order each type to make a personalized meal. Depending upon my mood I mix the food accordingly. Menu­ pages.com does have their menu for overview. Additionally, there are daily specials.</p> <p>Join the NYC Tall Club, a social club for men 6'2" and over and women 5'10" and over.

100581672 1615592 <p><b>Please be sure to change your RSVP if your plans change;</b> Please be sure to bring something to eat or drink to share with the group at break;<br/>Please try to arrive early enough so we can start promptly at 5pm<b>;</b><b></p> <p></b> Please bring your own copy of the script.<b></p> <p>Characters</b></p> <p> <b>Beverly Weston</b>--The father and patriarch of the Weston family, aged 69. An alcoholic and former poet, his mysterious disappearance one evening and eventually discovered death are the reasons for the family's reunion. The reasons for his alleged suicide are a major plot point that bring some of the family's dark past painfully back into the light.</p> <p><b>Violet Weston</b>--The mother and matriarch of the Weston family, aged 65. Suffering from cancer of the mouth, she is addicted to several prescription drugs, mostly depressants and narcotics. After an ugly rant at Beverly's funeral dinner, the family's focus shifts to keeping her clean. Despite her drug-induced episodes, she is sharp-tongued and shrewd: she is aware of the family's many secrets and not hesitant to reveal them for her own benefit.</p> <p><b>Barbara Fordham</b>--The oldest daughter of the Weston Family, age 46. Mother of Jean and wife of Bill, though they are currently separated. She is a college professor in Boulder, Colorado. She wants to save her marriage, but has the intense need to control everything around her as it falls apart.</p> <p><b>Ivy Weston</b>--The middle daughter of the Weston family, age 44. The only daughter to stay in Oklahoma, she teaches at the local college, and her calm and patient exterior hides a passionate woman who is gradually growing cynical. She is secretly having an affair with her "cousin", Little Charles, and plans to move to New York with him.</p> <p><b>Karen Weston</b>--The youngest daughter in the Weston family, age 40. She is newly engaged to Steve, whom she considers the "perfect man", and lives with him in Florida, planning to marry him soon. Karen can talk of little else but her own happiness even at her father's funeral, and she clearly chooses to lie to herself about her sleazy fiancé rather than face the reality of not getting a happy ending.</p> <p><b>Bill Fordham</b>--Barbara's estranged husband and Jean's father, age 49. A college professor, he has left his wife for a younger woman named Cindy, one of his students, but wants to be there for his family. His marriage is disintegrating and his patience is slowly running thin.</p> <p><b>Jean Fordham--</b>Bill and Barbara's smart-tongued 14-year-old daughter. She smokes pot and cigarettes, is a vegetarian, loves old movies, and is bitter about her parents' split. More naive than she would like to believe.</p> <p><b>Steve Heidebrecht</b>--Karen's fiancé, age 50. A businessman in Florida, (whose business, it is hinted, centers around the Middle East and may be less than legitimate) and not the "perfect man" that Karen considers him. He eventually attempts to sexually molest Jean after the two smoke pot together.</p> <p><b>Mattie Fae Aiken</b>--Violet's sister, Charlie's wife and Little Charles' mother, age 57. Just as jaded as her sister, Mattie Fae constantly belittles her son and antagonizes her husband. Eventually she reveals the major plot point that Beverly, not Charlie, is the real father of Little Charles.</p> <p><b>Charlie Aiken</b>--Husband of Mattie Fae and the presumed father of Little Charles, age 60. Charlie, a genial man, was a lifelong friend of Beverly. He struggles to get Mattie Fae to respect Little Charles.</p> <p><b>"Little" Charles Aiken</b>--Son of Mattie Fae and Beverly, 37 years old—but, like everyone else, he believes Charlie is his father. Unemployed and clumsy, his mother calls him a "screw-up", which may be a self-fulfilling prophecy. He is secretly having an affair with Ivy, who is revealed to actually be his half-sister.</p> <p><b>Johnna Monevata</b>--A Cheyenne Indian woman, age 26, whom Beverly hires as a live-in housekeeper shortly before he disappears. Violet is prejudiced against her, but she wins over the other family members with her cooking skills, hard work, and empathy. Johnna is the silent witness to much of the mayhem in the house.</p> <p><b>Sheriff Deon Gilbeau--</b>A high-school classmate and former boyfriend of Barbara's, age 47, who brings the news of Beverly's suicide to the family.</p> <p>Supported and organized by AdLib (<a href="http://www.niany.com">Actors and Directors Living in Brooklyn</a>,) this reading group was formed to provide opportunities for actors and directors living in Brooklyn or willing to work in Brooklyn.  We are also committed to producing new works by Brooklyn playwrights. In addition, we welcome those with no experience to join us in our play readings to read or to listen.</p> <p>Members meet to read plays once a month. We  select the next play reading from a list submitted by members. Roles are assigned at each reading. No acting experience necessary.  Members may choose to listen and not read. Discussion, community and "pot-luck" refreshments are a part of each reading.</p> <p>From time to time, we present stage readings and full productions. This group produced its first work, <em>Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf,</em> at our studio in Park Slope. Our first presentation in Manhattan was Sam Shepard's  <em>Curse of the Starving Class,</em> at the Barrow Group Studio Theater on May 15, 2011. We then produced an Equity showcase production of this same work in September of 2011 for 12 performances at the Bridge Theater in Manhattan with 5 Equity and 4 non-Equity actors.</p> <p>The group also encourages playwrights to submit new scripts for reading by members. An invited audience is welcome to provide feedback for playwrights.</p> <p>We are also associated with the New York Shakespeare Reading Group and list our Shakespearean readings on that site as well as this site. We read something from Shakespeare at least once every two  or three months.</p> <p>There are not fees or charges for this group. Readings take place in a safe, supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere.</p> <p><a href="http://files.meetup.com/1615592/PlaysToReadSubmittedByMembers.pdf">http://files.meetup.com/1615592/PlaysToReadSubmittedByMembers.pdf</a> contains a list of plays being considered for reading.

We also aim to raise awareness of social issues that are important to us. We advocate for causes such as acceptance, tolerance, positive body image, top-free equality and anti-bullying to name a few.</span></p> <p>What is nudism / naturism? The practice of going naked either alone or in social settings, without overt sexual behavior. We do many of the same fun activities others do every day, just without clothes! ie beach meetups, swimming, hiking, body painting, dancing, partying, sports, &amp; more. Naturism, or nudism, is not about sex or sexuality, and many of the same behavioral rules apply as in any other public social setting.</p> <p>We are based in NYC and organize events in the northeast as well as in other regions through our YNA chapters. This group will primarily be for events in NY, NJ, PA &amp; throughout the northeast.</p> <p><span>We welcome everyone regardless of appearance, ethnicity, sexual orientation, piercings, religion, gender identity, etc. This group is for naturists of all kinds, from people who grew up with it, to people who would just like to see what it's about.</span></p> <p><span>BEFORE YOU REQUEST TO JOIN: Please have a face photo of yourself on your profile and make sure to put some thought into our membership questions. We will not accept one to two-word answers on every question. Thanks!</span></p> <p>NOTE: Meetup is not an accurate measure of how many people are attending an event, nor of our gender ratio. We use many platforms to promote events / meetups, and many of our members do not use Meetup. While 12 people might RSVP here, the actual event might have upwards of 80 people.</p> <p><a href="http://youngnaturistsamerica.com" target="_blank">http://youngnaturistsamerica.com</a></p> <p> </p>

10058483 1394815 <p>We'll hear the scriptures read with clarity, understanding and dignity, so as to give as closely as possible the experience of the original audience to whom each was addressed<br/>This does not mean dramatization, acting-out or attempted eloquence. This latter can only be the result of faithful adherence to the above.</p> <p>Meet other New Yorkers who are interested in hearing our common Bible read out loud as written.</p> <p>Much of the Old and New Testament was scribally penned and edited for those who, not having a personal copy, expected to hear a declamation--formal reading by one familiar with the text and able to read it according to protocol. "Blessed he that reads, and they that hear..." begins the Revelation, no doubt referring to such a 'public' reading.</p> <p>The practice of "following along" in our readily available personal copies tends to block the intended effect, since we hear both our internally voiced stream of words at the same time as the voice of the out-reader.</p> <p>Out-loud reading of an entire text is a unique experience for listeners.</p> <p>No other book makes like authorship claims, such sweeping appeal to all God's children observant and not, or like internal consistency over the ages-separated pens of dozens of scribes...such an enduring document deserves at least the courtesy we accord lesser literature. And that begins with clear, bold, reverent out-reading, without discussing &amp; commenting. Join us if you agree. If you don't, join us anyway to hear The Book read out as it begs.</p>
10058497 22211 <p>We play various strategy boardgames, also called "Eurogames" or "designer games". If you aren't familiar with that terminology, you may recognize a few of the most popular titles, like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Puerto Rico, Agricola, Ra, and Race for the Galaxy. As quoted on Wikipedia, Eurogames are "usually less abstract than chess, but more abstract than wargames. Likewise, they generally require more thought and planning than party games, such as Pictionary or Trivial Pursuit, but less than strategy games, such as chess and Go".</p> <p>If you have a specific game you wish to play, bring it along. Otherwise, you'll likely have a broad choice of games to learn and play because several members usually bring lots of different types of games ranging from "light and frothy" to "heavy and thoughtful", with many choices in between. Most members are very happy to teach you any game you want to learn.</p> <p>Guthrie's is a tavern that invites game play - it has lots of games for play on its shelves though few are of the esoteric kind the Meetup members play.</p> <p>It has a very limited bar menu which includes wings, popcorn, and pizza - if you want to order food, Guthrie's has a bin of menus for local restaurants that deliver to Guthrie's.</p> <p>We generally play between 2-6 pm, since the parking restrictions start at 6 pm in that neighborhood. However, members are often willing to continue gaming at someone's house if enough people are available.</p> <p>The Chicagoland area's premiere and largest gamer group.

10058587 1107440 <p>Battle of Pleasant Hill occurred during the Red River Campaign on April 9, 1864 and resulted in a Union victory.</p> <p>Meet other Wargamers who are interested in historical gaming. We have a small wargaming group located in North Riverside (1 mile North of Brookfield Zoo) with a focus on historical miniatures. Our miniatures include WWII (skirmish, armor, air, and naval), Civil War (land and naval), American Revolution, Napoleonic, Crimean War, Franco Prussian War, French Foreign Legion, WWI (air and naval), Ancients, Medieval, and Renaissance. We are also both interested and open to other periods. We believe that the gaming environment should be relaxed and friendly. The focus of gaming is enjoyment of the game and winning is of secondary importance. Our games are currently held at 10 AM on the 1st Saturday and 7Pm on the 3rd Friday of each month. We play in a finished basement with 2 large comfortable gaming rooms. The Chicago Regional Alliance of gamers meets one Saturday each month for a wide variety of boardgames. Our members range in age from 17 to over 70. All ages and experience levels are welcome.</p>

10058691 255707 <p>Life in the big city can be hectic and often finding the time to congregate and knit together can be difficult, especially during the week.</p> <p>That's why I was so cyked when PSKC member Julie offered to host a WEEKEND meet-up at her house this coming Sunday from 3 - 6 pm.</p> <p>Julie is a mother of three and is a pretty experienced knitter. She has a comfortable and large living room on 13th Street in Park Slope, near the park and Pavilion movie theatre.</p> <p>"I just wanted to open my home as an alternative to going to a restaurant or to Ft. Hamilton Pkway. Sunday afternoons are best for me, as the mother of three. It's easier to block out some knitting time. Maybe other parents are in the same position re timing."</p> <p>Julie will provide some snacks for the group, but feel free to bring your own to share with the group.</p> <p>We are a casual group of knitters, crocheters, and spinners dedicated to sharing the love of our chosen crafts and just enjoying time together.

100587742 112155 <p>About Slow Wine</p> <p>The Slow Wine Guide, published by Slow Food Editore (the publishing arm of Slow Food Italy**) adopts a new approach to wine criticism and looks at a variety of factors to evaluate wineries in their entirety, taking into consideration the wine quality, typicity and adherence to terroir, value for money, environmental sensitivity and ecologically sustainable viticultural practices.</p> <p>**Slow Food Italy is the Italian national branch of Slow Food International, a global grassroots organization that envisions a world in which all people can access and enjoy food that is good for them, good for those who grow it and good for the planet. A non-profit member-supported association, Slow Food was founded in Italy in 1989 to counter the rise of fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and to encourage people to be aware about the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.</p> <p>One year after its English-language debut, <i>Slow Wine</i>, the guide to Italian wineries approved as good, clean and fair by Slow Food Italy is premiering a new and updated edition. To celebrate the launch, Slow Wine will be doing a walk-around tasting tour in New York City, Miamiand San Francisco.</p> <p> </p> <p>In New York City, the walk around tasting will feature over 75 selected producers with 15 Italian regions represented. With the purchase of a ticket, every attendee will receive a<b>complimentary copy</b> of the <b>THE SLOW WINE GUIDE</b> 2nd edition (a $25 value).</p> <p> “With Slow Wine we have changed the way of reviewing wine,” comments Marco Bolasco, CEO of Slow Food Editore. Three symbols are used in the guide to evaluate each winery:</p> <p><b>The Snail</b>, the Slow Food symbol, signals a cellar that has distinguished itself through its interpretation of sensorial, territorial, environmental and personal values in harmony with the Slow Food philosophy. <b>The Bottle</b>, allocated to cellars that show a consistently high quality throughout their range of wines. <b>The Coin</b>, an indicator of great value. <b>Event Details:</b></p> <p>Where: Three-Sixty°, 10 Desbrosses St, NYC</p> <p>When: January 28th, 2013, 6:30PM - 9:00PM</p> <p> </p> <p>To solidify the 28th as the biggest night in Italian wine tasting and education in NYC, Slow Wine is collaborating with Vinitaly International. Vinitaly, who holds the largest wine event in the world in Verona every year, will offer these exclusive features:</p> <p>Pre-grand tasting <b>Master Class*</b> at 5PM "<i>Italy's Volcanic Wines"</i> (hosted by Giovanni Ponchia) Aperitivo courtesy of Italia di Vino begin at 6:30PM <b>Masterclass*</b>: " <i>Call it Prosecco: only if it origins from the Prosecco area"</i> (hosted by Susannah Gold) will begin at 6:45PM *=Masterclass entry is complementary and on a first come, first serve basis.</p> <p> <i>Light refreshments will be served.

On that day over 600 disgruntled residents joined together for Nassau County’s first official Tea Parties in Hicksville and Massapequa, NY.<br> We are non-partisan and do not support any one political party. We will continue to support candidates from any party that shares our conservative values and views. We are active throughout New York State, and welcome new members regardless of the town you reside.<br> <br> With few exceptions we hold our meetings the first Tuesday of the month at The American Legion Hall, 197 Maple Avenue Rockville Centre. Meetings run from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. We encourage you to attend and to bring a friend. All of our meetings are open to the public.<br> <br> Mission Statement and Core Values<br> The impetus for the Tea Party movement is excessive government spending and taxation. Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.<br> <br> Core Values:<br> • Fiscal Responsibility<br> • Constitutionally Limited Government<br> • Free Markets<br> <br> <br> Our Philosophy:<br> The Rockville Centre Tea Party Patriots as an organization believes in the Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government, and Free Markets. We are a non-partisan grassroots organization of individuals united by our core values derived from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill of Rights as explained in the Federalist Papers. We recognize and support the strength of grassroots organization powered by activism and civic responsibility at a local level. We hold that the United States is a republic conceived by its architects as a nation whose people were granted “unalienable rights” by our Creator. Chiefly among these are the rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The Rockville Centre Tea Party Patriots stand with our founders, as heirs to the republic, to claim our rights and duties which preserve their legacy and our own. We hold, as did the founders, that there exists an inherent benefit to our country when private property and prosperity are secured by natural law and the rights of the individual<br> </strong></p>

100590062 1661749 <p>This may be a little late, but happy new year to everyone!</p> <p>As some of you may know, Restaurant Week is upon us again! It started on January 14 and will end on February 8, so this event is in the middle of it. As I haven't had Brazilian food in quite a while, I was pleased to discover that this place was participating. More info about them is here, along with their Restaurant Week menu:</p> <p><a href="http://circusrestaurante.com/restaurant-week-winter-2013/" class="linkified">http://circusrestaurante.com/restaurant-week-winter-2013/</a></p> <p>Note: A number of restaurants require that everyone in the party participate in the restaurant week in order to benefit as the menu is usually limited for the promotion, so be sure you are okay with it before you RSVP. Also, please don't RSVP unless you're certain you can attend. I can not stress enough that should your plans change, you MUST change your RSVP so that others who may wish to go can do so. Everyone will be responsible for their own expenses.</p> <p>Bon appetit! And hope to see you there.</p> <p>This group is about getting together once per month at various restaurants around Manhattan. All that is required is a desire to meet other singles over 40 who share a passion about good food.</p> <p>The focus will be on restaurants in Manhattan and the most popular type of restaurants: Steakhouses, Fish Restaurants, Italian, etc.</p> <p><strong>Restaurants selected will be in the $10 - $50 per person range .</strong></p> <p>There are no meetings, just RSVP that you can make it. It's that simple.</p> <p><strong>Open to single men and women 40 years old or over.</strong></p> <p>----------------------<br> <br> This group will schedule dinner out once per month beginning in September, 2010. RSVPs will be limited to 8 people per&nbsp;month with a waitlist.&nbsp; This allows members to get to know each other on a more intimate level and we don't get stuck with "group" limitations that restaurants sometimes impose.<br> <br> When the date of dinner rolls around, simply show up 10 minutes early - outside if it is nice or inside if it isn't, and, we'll get to know each other over dinner.&nbsp; If you arrive late, reservations will usually be made under my name "Vena Moore."</p> <p><br> Billing is simple, everyone pays for their own including tax and tip (15%-20%).&nbsp; The only other requirements are that you are 40 or over, single, enjoy dining out and making new friends, and, for those who are single parents - this is about the adults so leave the kiddies at home.<br> <br> That's it. No sales pitches. No forced dating or mix and mingles. The simple act of dining together in the hopes of making new friends.</p>

10059022 1334633 <p>You've heard so many good things about yoga, you know it’s supposed to be great for you: make you strong, flexible, focused and obliterate stress. But you don't know where to begin (or what it actually is). Or maybe you've done the videos, but how do you know what you are doing is O.K.? I’ll guide you, step-by-step, as you discover the wonderful practice of yoga. This is a great way to start off with each class covering :</p> <p>• The background for what yoga really is, and the style I teach</p> <p>• Simple breathing exercises that are common to our practice</p> <p>• Foundation yoga postures and how to adapt them to your abilities and needs.</p> <p>• How to link postures together in a wonderful, juicy flow.</p> <p>• I’ll repeat things a lot so you are sure to learn them. And, I also make time to teach you how to modify the postures to accommodate your body and its unique needs.</p> <p>And don't be surprised if you graduate with more than a few great friends!</p> <p>Details:<br/>This will be a 2 hour workshop, please bring a bottle of water, a yoga mat or towel, and wear comfortable stretchy clothes.</p> <p>Discover Calm, Reclaim your Sanity, Restore your Body!</p> <p>Using yoga breathing and meditation techniques, and exercises, you'll finally be comfortable again in your body and mind.</p> <p>Hi. My name is Amanda and I'm a Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Instructor and owner of Revolution Yoga in Rockville Centre. With a deep understanding of energetic principles, various anatomical and physiological situations and health in general, my teachers and I get great results for our students.</p> <p>By practicing with us you will be safely guided through poses with attention to you and your specific needs. <br />"Just as your fingerprints are different than anyone elses in the world, yoga stretches and exercises you do need to be personalized to have the maximum effect."-Varona</p> <p>Every student I work with is on his or her own journey to reach unique goals in unique bodies.</p> <p>The most important point to be made about yoga!: <br />Yoga is for everyone! It doesn't matter if you can't remember the last time you worked out or even if you're convinced you can't get back into good shape, lose weight or increase your flexibility. Yoga can work for you!</p> <p>Students typically report an amazing list of physical benefits including: their blood pressure decreasing, flexibility and balance increasing, posture improving, ability to sleep improving, sexual drive improving, strength and energy levels increasing, their immune system getting stronger, and weight normalizing.</p> <p>Even more remarkably, if you have dis-ease in the body, whether it be health, injury, or age related, yoga has been scientifically proven to aid your body in naturally healing itself. Many physical therapists suggest yoga being well aware of its healing power.</p> <p>People come to yoga for many different reasons, to heal an injury, lose weight, gain strength, flexibility, coordination, or peace of mind. Whatever your reason you'll be sure to gain many benefits from a regular yoga practice!</p> <p>YES, you will relieve stress, restore your sense of awe, and find balance in life!</p> <p>YES, you will gain flexibility, strength and a renewed sense of well-being!</p> <p>YES, you will tap into a deep and confident self-awareness!</p> <p>YES, you will have more energy, motivation and focus!</p> <p>By practicing with us, you'll find your transition into a regular practice occurs quickly and safely which allows you to go deeper and learn profound things about yourself!</p> <p>Classes can range from sweaty and physical, to calming and meditative. Either way I will navigate you through a class that will bring you towards optimal balance in the body and mind. <br />All sessions will end with 10 minutes of relaxation poses and gentle thai yoga adjustments in relaxation poses</p> <p>However our paths join, We'd be so honored to take part in your journey!</p>

10059032 407827 <p><b>THE VOLLEYBALL:</b></p> <p>PICK-UP / Indoor / Hard Court<br/>TIME: 1 pm- 4 pm<br/>SKILL LEVEL: CC, B (You can still attend if you play at the BB level -- see our description)<br/>COST: $12 - PAY at the front desk!</p> <p>*TIME IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE (Because this is WCF’s pick-up time - if they get a reservation pick-up gets bumped). PLEASE check the meetup website before you head over to the gym, or call WCF to make sure pick-up is still happening -[masked]).</p> <p><b>THE RATIONALE:</b> Given that the beach is still not all that viable of an option, I've scheduled pick-up at WCF on Sunday! Pick-up at WCF on Sundays is great and they've agreed to put us down for Court 8 for 3 HOURS!</p> <p>Because we have THREE HOURS I've opened the meetup to 18 players. That includes those who RSVP "maybe" so please change your RSVP from "Maybe" as soon as you know whether you'll be there so others have a chance to RSVP "Yes."</p> <p><b>THE WAIT LIST:</b> I've chosen to add a wait list, but I have also chosen to have it work automatically (as opposed to manually, which allows the organizer to pick and choose from the wait list).</p> <p>As a result, the wait list will be first come, first served, and you will automatically be bumped to a "Yes" when a spot opens based on the time you added yourself to the list.</p> <p>~This is not a rec volleyball group~</p> <p><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> This group was created for CC, B, and BB players who want to:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> - improve their skills<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> - work on their technique,<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> - and spend as much time as possible at the beach!</p> <p>Beginner/Recreational level players are discouraged from joining this particular group. If you are unsure of your skill level send me an email or come to one of the training/skills meetups to find out where you stand.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> _________________________________________________________</p> <p>SKILL LEVEL:</p> <p>The CC level is similar to Chicago Sport and Social Club's intermediate level. Players are expected to know all the rules. Passing, setting, serving, and attacking are decent to strong with an accuracy of 70% and higher.</p> <p>SEE THE MESSAGE BOARD FOR A DESCRIPTION OF EACH SKILL LEVEL.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> PLEASE, DO NOT RSVP FOR MEETUPS ABOVE YOUR SKILL LEVEL. (Safety &amp; Respect)<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> _________________________________________________________</p> <p>THE VOLLEYBALLERS:</p> <p>This is a friendly group of active and diverse volleyball players! It's a great place to meet people to form league teams or tournament teams. Some members are involved with lots of volleyball events that never get posted on the site, so come to meetups and get to know the other volleyball players.</p> <p>If you know of any gyms or sand courts that are open for pick-up games, rentals, or walk-ons, let us know and we'll try to schedule something there!</p>

Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.<br> <br> Core Values:<br> • Fiscal Responsibility<br> • Constitutionally Limited Government<br> • Free Markets<br> <br> <br> Our Philosophy:<br> The Rockville Centre Tea Party Patriots as an organization believes in the Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government, and Free Markets. We are a non-partisan grassroots organization of individuals united by our core values derived from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill Of Rights as explained in the Federalist Papers. We recognize and support the strength of grassroots organization powered by activism and civic responsibility at a local level. We hold that the United States is a republic conceived by its architects as a nation whose people were granted “unalienable rights” by our Creator. Chiefly among these are the rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The Rockville Centre Tea Party Patriots stand with our founders, as heirs to the republic, to claim our rights and duties which preserve their legacy and our own. We hold, as did the founders, that there exists an inherent benefit to our country when private property and prosperity are secured by natural law and the rights of the individual<br> </strong></p> <p><br> Real Time US National Debt Clock<br> <a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html"></a><a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </p>

100592232 4557242 <p>Qigong for Cleansing – Organ Cleansing and Strengthening Qigong (or as it is known in Mandarin Chinese – Zhang Fu Gong) is a unique and powerful Qigong form. Designed as one, flowing healing workout that takes about 10 minutes to complete, many people find this to be the daily practice that they’ve been waiting for. This easy to learn set includes a warm-up and energy balancing phase and then moves into Qigong forms specifically focusing on cleansing and strengthening the heart, lungs, liver, stomach, intestines, kidneys, gall bladder, brain and nervous system. The set ends with another energy balancing and settling phase, leaving you refreshed and empowered. For years people around the world have been incorporating this effective exercise routine into their personal healing program.</p> <p>This Qigong form helps you use your focused breathing to full advantage, combining movements with proper inhales and exhales. The key to this Organ Cleansing and Strengthening Qigong form is to understand the energetic nature of our internal organs. The ancient Chinese medical Masters mapped a comprehensive system of Qi (chi) energy channels (meridians) that linked all our organs together. The smooth flow and expression of Qi through these channels, known as the Jing Luo, was key to good health. Using the breath in conjunction with specific movements and mental visualizations can actually facilitate this Qi flow.</p> <p>We will be practicing warm ups and additional forms to help enliven the chi.</p> <p>PLEASE NOTE!  The entrance to Princeton  Frame will open from 6pm to 6:20 at that time we will need to lock the door and retire to the lower level to  practice. Unfortunately will not be available to open the door so PLEEZE arrive on time or call[masked] if you are  running late  Thank you</p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><strong>The Healing Promise of Chi..Creating extraordinary wellness through Qi-gong practice.</strong></span> Welcome to the North Shore Qi-gong Meetup Group. Whether a beginner or seasoned practitioner; you will have an opportunity to learn and practice <strong>Dragon Tiger Qi-gong</strong> as well as other forms of energy cultivation. Qi-gong developed in Ancient China, over 300 million people practice it as an effective exercise for health and longevity. Consisting of gentle fluid , circular movements led by the breath; Qi-gong deepens our internal awareness creating profound changes. As you practice these forms you will move energy releasing blockages feeling more open and expansive.</p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><strong>Location:</strong></span> We will be practicing in the lower level of <strong>Princeton Frame at 1844 First st. in Downtown Highland Park.</strong> Due to it being a retail location the practice space on the lower level will only be accessible <strong>between the hours of 6pm to 6:20pm at which time the doors will be locked</strong> class will begin at 6:30pm.

100596812 1588080 <p>In keeping with the this week's apparent theme and not to be outdone by my fellow organizer in Google mastery, the definition of this Thursday's meetup is rather ironic: The fear of long words. Like the previous meeting's title phobia, I doubt any of our members will be afflicted. On the off chance you are, why not face your fear with a great group of people who know the best words have more than four letters!</p> <p>This will be a standard meetup. We'll write independently until 8:30pm. Then, we'll gather for introductions and group conversation. Writer's of all genres and skill levels are welcome. Dollop is open until 11pm on Thursdays, so anyone is free to stick around and socialize or write after the meeting. I hope to see you there!</p> <p> </p> <p><b>SPECIAL NOTE</b>:  The first person who attends this Thursday's meetup that can correctly recite to me the title of this meeting three times fast without getting tongue-tied will be treated to their choice of pastry or beverage from Dollop's menu.</p> <p>First and foremost:</p> <p><strong>We are not a critique group.</strong></p> <p><strong>We are not a workshop group.</strong></p> <p><strong>We are a group of writers who get together to...just write.</strong></p> <p>This is a group that meets to WRITE, to socialize, and to offer encouragement and inspiration to others as we practice our craft. We're focused on the process, not the product.  Writing can be a solitary activity...but it doesn't have to be.</p> <p>This is a group where the focus is actually on DOING the work as opposed to critiquing already finished works. I found so many groups on meetup focused on the critique, but none focused on motivating each other to get the writing done. So if you need motivation to get started, set a writing schedule, keep at it, or finish that novel, this group is for you.</p> <p>We meet on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays on the north side of Chicago, Fridays on the northwest side of Chicago, and Wednesdays on the south side of Chicago.</p> <p>For more information on Just Write Chicago, please refer to our new Policy &amp; Procedures manual which can be found under <strong>More -&gt; Files</strong>.</p> <p>Stay creative.</p>

100601452 3121722 <p>Happy New Year, Everybody!</p> <p>Some new members have joined. Welcome!</p> <p>This is our first meetup of 2013. May I describe how your new adventure might unfold:</p> <p>You will step off the elevator on the 2nd floor into the fireplace-warmed ambiance of the lobby lounge. Just beyond those flames in that giant glass dome is the swing jazz you are looking for.</p> <p>Marc Daine on guitar; Ray Blue on tenor sax; Janelle on vocals.<br/>Some special guests may stop in to sing or play -- one never knows.</p> <p>No cover. Two menu item minimum.<br/>South West corner of 57 &amp; Lexington.<br/>Renaissance New York Hotel 57.</p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">John:</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">After nearly 30 years of mentoring countless men who wanted more out of their lives, I have decided to offer my experience as a retreat master to the meetup community of NYC. My goal for this group is to witness each other’s success in reaching for and living more joyful, peaceful, loving and rewarding lives.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">Through moderated group discussions, activities, &amp; retreats, group members identify attitudes, beliefs, &amp; habits that damage or hamper relationships with themselves and others. We can transform life’s circumstances, no matter how difficult or tragic, towards the highest good of all concerned. History is not destiny! We start within, but outer transformation can manifest faster than you might expect.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">I share some of my personal experiences as teaching tools. We will learn to recognize and be grateful for challenging people &amp; situations. They are among our greatest teachers for the contrast they provide in defining what we do (&amp; do not) want in life.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">Janelle:</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">After collaborating for over a year, we decided to venture into the meetup world. My background is in program planning, which aims to boost an entire community’s quality of life -- based on that community’s own consensus-based definition of high quality.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">I also love working with individuals at the deepest emotional and energetic (e.g., unconscious) levels to reach their own quality of life goals such as:<br> --losing weight;</span><br> <span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">--quitting smoking;</span><br> <span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">--managing diabetes;</span><br> <span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">--eliminating phobias, PTSD, allergies &amp; addictions.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">As a health educator (master of public health), I help people access the information they need to make better decisions.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">As a student of world religions, philosophies &amp; teachers (grad work in theology &amp; studies with masters), I draw from many schools of thought for tools to help us strengthen &amp; use the body-mind connection.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">As a practitioner of the energy arts (Reiki-M, Thai Massage, MTHS, EFT-3, &amp; TFT certification in California &amp; Thailand), I have personally experienced, facilitated &amp; witnessed miraculous transformations in myself &amp; others.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">Some of my studies &amp; readings include such teachers, authors &amp; books as: David R. Hawkins, Candace Pert, Bruce Lipton, Byron Katie, Marshall Rosenberg, Kelly Bryson, Roger Callahan, Fritz Guy, Abraham-Hicks, Caroline Myss, Doc Childre, Bruce Cryer, M. Scott Peck, Mark Anup Karlsson, Jaz Goven, Jacque Smillie, Samir Selmanovic, Richard Hart, Raj Arole &amp; his late wife Mabelle, Suzanne Montgomery, A Course In Miracles &amp; others.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">I look forward to meeting each of the therapists, healers, coaches &amp; other spiritual aspirants who attend this meetup group's events.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">Blessings!</span></p> <p> </p>

Fear and self doubt all too often limit us from the best part of ourselves, and from the best things in life. Whether its trying something new with your life, or approaching a stranger, too many of us hesitate out of self doubt. Windows of opportunities come and go quickly, and life is way too short to be held back by fear!</p> <p>Come and learn effective techniques to turn crippling self doubts, anxieties and fears into unstoppable self-confidence, freedom and peace of mind.</p> <p>This meetup includes education, discussion, and exercises so you can use these lessons outside of the meetup.</p> <p>If you practice, I guarantee you'll be happy with the results. So come, learn, and meet other locals who are interested in overcoming their self doubts and fears. This meetup is not therapy or professional help.</p> <p> </p> <p>What is Self-Confidence?</p> <p>&amp;</p> <p>What is Fear?</p> <p>For You?</p> <p>Originally as babies, we are only born with 2 fears.  The fear of falling and the fear of loud noises.  Everything else is learned.</p> <p>And everything we've learned can be unlearned.  The patterns of thought, behavior and belief that guide us can be changed.</p> <p>Bruce Springstein and Al Pacino both described the same exact physical feelings in the their gut, butterflies, etc.  And for one of them those sensations meant stage fright, and for the other those exact same sensations meant excitement.</p> <p>Let's explore different ways to create more self-confidence and release fear.  We'll talk, share and we'll invite various coaches and practitioners to share their methodologies.  And I'll share some of the techniques I've learned from hypnosis, NLP, somatic re-patterning, massage and other techniques.</p> <p>We'll grow more confident and change together.</p> <p> </p> <p>Sincerely Yours,</p> <p> </p> <p>Joel - <a href="http://www.joelelfman.com">www.joelelfman.com</a></p>

100602382 1626903 <p><b>UPDATE:</b></p> <p>We have a date...and an animal! February 10th at Artisanal in Wilmette, we're going to be taking apart a pig! I'm SO excited to partner up with Andy, the butcher, and to experience this event with you guys. He says the pork from his supplier is out of this world!</p> <p>Here is an outline of what will happen, from the butcher's email:</p> <p><i>In the class I break down half a pig in depth, breaking the whole thing down into primals, then sub primals, then specific cuts, etc. It will pretty loosely structured so I can go into more depth based on what the class' specific interests are. Everyone is open to ask questions. Throughout I go very specifically into anatomy, how the pig's anatomy relates to other animals (beef, lamb, etc.) and give thorough explanation on why specific cuts eat like they do. Included in the ticket price is the demonstration, a craft beer tasting before and during</i> [this may change to spirits or add in spirits...some of us don't do gluten] <i>and you leave that night with a giant bone in pork chop cut from that night's animal.</i></p> <p>We will use a raffle system for the cuts of meat if we end up with more than 10 people. He can only get 10 chops off a side, so for the more desirable cuts, we may have to resort to luck! Either way, everyone goes home with meat!</p> <p><b>NEXT STEP</b>: For the sake of keeping this intimate and accomodating <b>we must cap it at 15 people</b>, sorry. <b>So the first 15 people who email me and pay the $55 fee</b> (this includes a small tip for the butcher, who is otherwise giving his time for free) are set to go to the demo. I am going to try to chat with Artisanal on ways to get this all setup, but if they cannot accept payment thru their website, you will either have to find a way to pay me through Paypal, Chase, or something else (send me a check, etc.) I am new to this, so I am trying to keep this as easy as possible for everyone. You can talk to Melissa on here--we've done some successful meat purchase on here, if you are wary about the payment system. I won't be able to accept refunds, but if you had to bail, you could probably exchange your seat for someone else's. Remember, this is way less expensive than seeing this done elsewhere in Chicago, and you go home with meat!</p> <p><b>Payments must be made to me by next FRIDAY, FEB. 1, so I can get the payment to Artisanal on time. We must meet that deadline in order to reserve the shop time! I apologize for the short deadline, folks, but we are moving fast! Exciting stuff!</b></p> <p> </p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Vinnie</p> <p> Hey all,</p> <p>I just found out last night that a friend of mine's husband is a butcher, and we got to talking last night...for a long time. Long story short, he's interested in hosting a group of folks who'd be willing to come out and learn about animal butchering. We'd be able to see the animal go from whole to the finished product, and we'd be free to ask any questions as the process goes along. Wouldn't this be sweet?! We chatted about potential animals--he says he has access to some of the best pigs around, and lamb would be an excellent option as well.</p> <p>He works just off the end of the purple line at a place called Artisanal. Don't worry about the location in Wilmette--he says it's literally just a block off the el.</p> <p>Total cost would be $50 or less if we can get a group of at least 10 together, including food to take home! That would be a kickass price. Comparatively, prices in the city for this sort of thing cost upwards of $75 or more.</p> <p>I am open on dates, but I need to gauge interest. Reply with any questions and ideas on days of the week that work best! Hoping we can do this before the end of February, at the latest. After I see some replies generated, I'll throw down a prospective date.</p> <p>Welcome!  This group is open to anyone following a Paleo, Primal, or Ancestral lifestyle.  The goal here is not only to meet new people, but also to share tips and advice as well as encourage each other on our respective journeys toward improving our health through eating real food and giving our bodies the opportunities for fun, energetic activity.</p> <p>Join us on our journey!</p> <p><a href="https://plus.google.com/communities/104202561028143109921">https://plus.google.com/communities/104202561028143109921</a></p>

Many of these techniques are best described as alternative medicine, including meditation, prayer, mental healing, movement re-education, and therapies that use creative outlets such as art, music, or dance. Others have now become mainstream (for example, patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy).</p> <p>2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind-body_connection The biopsychosocial model (abbreviated "BPS") is a general model or approach that posits that biological, psychological (which entails thoughts, emotions, and behaviors), and social factors, all play a significant role in human functioning in the context of disease or illness. Indeed, health is best understood in terms of a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors rather than purely in biological terms.[1] This is in contrast to the traditional, reductionist biomedical model of medicine that suggests every disease process can be explained in terms of an underlying deviation from normal function such as a pathogen, genetic or developmental abnormality, or injury.[2] The concept is used in fields such as medicine, nursing, health psychology and sociology, and particularly in more specialist fields such as psychiatry, health psychology, family therapy, chiropractic, clinical social work, and clinical psychology. The biopsychosocial paradigm is also a technical term for the popular concept of the "mind–body connection", which addresses more philosophical arguments between the biopsychosocial and biomedical models, rather than their empirical exploration and clinical application.[3] The model was theorized by psychiatrist George L. Engel at the University of Rochester, and putatively discussed in a 1977 article in Science,[2] where he posited "the need for a new medical model"; however no single definitive, irreducible model has been published.[4] However, the general BPS model has guided formulation and testing of models within each professional field. Interestingly, evidence for the application of the biopsychosocial model was found in ancient Asian (2600 B.C.) and Greek (500 B.C.) civilizations prior to Engel's introduction of the theory in 1977. The novelty, acceptance, and prevalence of the biopsychosocial model varies across cultures.[1] Theodore Millon has extensively researched the Biopsychosocial model and has developed a systematic approach to understanding the clinical presentations found in many treatment settings.</p>

While it may be 2009, we're gonna party like it's 1999 with great drink specials, dancing and socializing?</p> <p>Have a spin around the dance floor or knock back some drinks with a whole bunch of new friends. We'll have 2 floors, 2 bars, 2 decades of music &amp; 1 totally awesome time!</p> <p><b>NOTE:</b> Each attendee will receive a raffle ticket to win 2 free tickets to Broadway's "Rock of Ages". www.rockofagesmusical.com</p> <p><b>DRINK SPECIALS:</b> 80s priced drink specials including 2 for 1 drinks from 9.00 - 11.00 PM</p> <p><b>COST:</b> $10 at the door w/RSVP or $15 at the door without. You must mention Ilana or Meetup when you arrive at the event.</p> <p><br/>The New York Post And The Daily News says that: "DJ Lou spins the best damn 80s music PERIOD!"</p> <p>It is tough to be single these days! We make it easy by hosting fun events. We run parties, events, trips &amp; singles vacations &amp; we provide you new friends to party with, and travel with. We host various events each month including bar parties, speed dating events, dance lessons, etc. We're always on the look out for new and interesting social activities for our group. We'd love your suggestions and input for events.</p> <p>PS. When I send invitations for events, I'm not just inviting people from this Meetup.  I also post my events on 20 different singles Meetup groups.  Look over our past events to see actual number of people who attended and you'll see that it's much more than just the people who RSVPd through Meetup. The number of YES and NO RSVPs doesn't reflect the actual number of attendees because they aren't just coming from this group. If you'd like to attend an event we have posted don't wait to see what everyone else is doing ... just sign up and prepay.  If we have to cancel an event for lack of attendees, you will get your money back.</p>

You will be selfaware, and you will have the uniqueness of language.</p> <p>With the sibling rivalries, controversies between co-workers, hating our boss, bitter disagreements with, and dissapiontments from our parents, our friends, etc.... We miss this piont.</p> <p>Happiness, anger, love, hate, compasion, jealousy, forgivness, vengfulness, etc... can all be experienced in the context of Joy.</p> <p>So what is Joy. You can have joy by making room for all of this to happen. To be willing to be with and experience the ups and downs of life. Life is a roller coaster, and is never a striaght line. Going through, and working with our emotions (ironically) is the only way to get past them. Unfortunately, we (human beings) hardly ever do that. Instead, we eat too much, we drink too much, we never have enough sex, we watch too much TV, we take drugs, we smoke, we neglect our responsibilities, we pretend it's not happening, etc... anything to get away from our socalled negative emotions.</p> <p>Joy is not having to avoid our feelings, or people, or places. Joy is being able to embrace life with all its complexities. Until we learn to do this, life will continuously shrink us, and as we age, it will only get worse. We get locked into our patterns of avoidance.</p> <p>This group is designed to help realize the path of Joy which is the ultimate key to enlightenment.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

10060508 211654 <p>For all of you Sam Raimi Fans, this looks awesome :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1127180/">IMDB Page</a><br/><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1127180/trailers">IMDB Trailers</a><br/><a href="https://www.fandango.com/purchase/movietickets/process03/ticketboxoffice.aspx?row_count=740841212&amp;mid=117601&amp;tid=AABZU">Buy your tickets now!</a></p> <p>Ok so the time and location has been chosen, sadly it will not be a double feature as "Pontypool" is not playing within 40 miles of Chicago. I will post my cell phone to you all on Thursday or Friday.</p> <p>I will do my best to be there at around 1:00/1:15</p> <p><b>Full Synopsis:</b><br/>A loan officer (Lohman) ordered to evict an old woman from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse, who turns her life into a living hell. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her to a breaking point.</p> We are horror fans, whether it be psychological, slasher, supernatural, Zombie (Romero Style) or anything else. We love it all. You should join us if you like to see horror movies in theaters. It does not matter which you prefer we seem them all (Rated R atleast, we usually skip the PG-13 crap). We are friendly and don't bite (hard).
100605302 1426088 <p>Raw Vegan Potluck starts at 3:00 PM.  Movie (60 minutes) starts at 4:00 p.m., followed by discussion.</p> <p>Raw Vegan Potluck:  Please prepare a dish to serve 8 people. Ingredients should be from PLANT BASED sources, UNCOOKED, UNPROCESSED, and, insofar as possible, ORGANIC.</p> <p>Please bring a list of the INGREDIENTS you have used.  (Many members need to know because of specific food sensitivities).</p> <p>Because we will be in a conference room, remember to bring all the SERVING EQUIPMENT your dish requires!</p> <p>A dish is preferred, but if you cannot do so, please donate $10 which will help with the ongoing expenses of the meetup.</p> <p>The MOVIE will be THE PLEASURE TRAP by DOCTOR DOUG LISLE.  Dr. Lisle is a behavioral psychologist whose teaching venues include the Cornell University Plant Based Nutrition course, Living Light (the leading raw culinary school), Dr. McDougall'sHealth and Medical Center and True North Health Center.  In a fact-filled but humorous presentation explaining the neural pathways involved, THE PLEASURE TRAP shows why - even when we KNOW what we need to eat -- we may be drawn to foods that may not support good health.  Dr. Lisle explains this clearly, and also shares some strategies for breaking out of The Pleasuure Trap!</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong>Welcome to all Raw Food Vegan enthusiasts to meet like-minded people, share recipes, participate in fun and educational events!</strong></p> <p><strong><img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/4/1/4/event_175974292.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 0px auto ; display : block"></strong></p> <p style="text-align : center"><em><strong>Any ideas about a potluck or another activity - Please suggest it!</strong></em></p> <p> </p>

As soon as the weather cooperates we will be doing yoga outside.

Details to follow......</p> We are a passionate group of health conscious, loving, non-judgmental people striving to improve ourselves.

10061222 345700 <p>Meet at the large parking lot off of Wilson Ave &amp; LSD. It's right next to the outdoor skate park.</p> <p><br/>Here is the link to a map of where the Meetup is located<br/><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=41.966641,-87.645943&amp;sll=41.966997,-87.644945&amp;sspn=0.005911,0.013947&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;t=h&amp;z=16&amp;iwloc=addr"><a href="http://maps.google.co" class="linkified">http://maps.google.co</a>...</a><br/>There is a CARA group that meets at this same location as well. Our group will meet right next to the outdoor skate park.</p> <p>The distance and pace will be determined by the runners. We usually do a 9:00- 10:00 min pace, depending on how far we go. We usually run anywhere between 6-11 miles. There is a turnaround at mile 3 for those who don't want to go as far. Also, if 6 miles is too far there is another turn around at mile 1.5. My goal for this run is for it to be a very casual and easy run. The point is to make some new friends and get in a nice run while doing that.</p> <p>I hope some of you will be able to join me and motivate me to get out of bed. We will meet at 9am at the large parking lot right by the outdoor skate park. HOPE TO SEE MANY OF YOU THERE!!</p> <p>We are a social group that really enjoys running together. No hype and no elitist attitudes! All skill levels and age groups are welcome. We meet at various locations throughout the city. If you want to do a meetup run in your neighborhood one weekend, just send me a message and I will create a meetup invite. If you are in need of long runs, let me know and I will arrange it as well. Feel free to come and catch up on some miles or if you are NOT a distance run, come anyways and we will circle back around to drop you back at your car. We accommodate all distances and levels.</p>
100612662 1964881 <p>This is our usual Sunday spot. We're here just about every week!</p> <p>For those new to the group, we usually form up two teams, sometimes three (8 person max per team), so we'll have a sign on the table(s) indicating that it's us. We're usually at the back of the bar. Trivia starts promptly at 8 o'clock so we try to get there a little early to get settled in. It usually ends around 10:30 and occasionally some of us stay afterwards to hang out.</p> <p>Trivia is free; however, the bar does ask that you spend at least $5 on food and/or drink otherwise they reserve the right to charge you $5. But lets not have that happen. They've got good drink specials and really good food. You should eat something. Your mother worries about you.</p> <p>Trivia at Michael Diversey's consists of 5 regular rounds with 10-12 questions each and a speed round to finish things up.</p> <p>Round 1 is a picture round.</p> <p>Round 2 is a general trivia round but all 10 of the answers are themed. So maybe you have the answers "Ford Bronco" and "Lincoln Logs." At that point, the theme might be car brands or U.S. Presidents. Figuring out the theme gets you 2 points and can assist you in figuring out some of the other questions.</p> <p>Round 3 is typically a music round. You get ½ a point for the artist and ½ a point for the song title.</p> <p>Round 4 can be anything.</p> <p>Round 5 is usually chosen the week before by the team that comes in fifth place.</p> <p>You are also allowed to double one of the first 5 rounds. So if you are pretty sure about all twelve answers in a particular round, double it to get 24.</p> <p>The sixth round is a speed round. It consists of one question with 30 possible answers. It could be something like "Most populous cities in the U.S." or "current members of the Chicago Blackhawks." There's really no telling until he reveals the question. At that point you've got about 4 minutes to write down as many answers as possible.</p> <p>On Sunday afternoon, the M.C. will post the topics for the rounds on Facebook and clues for Round 2 on Twitter.  I'll copy and paste them in the comments section so you know what you're getting yourself in to.</p> <p>This week features two chosen categories because the one from the 13th wasn't done this past week. So Round 4 will be about shows on the CW (Vampire Diaries, Hart of Dixie, Arrow.. whatever the hell else they show on the CW) and Round 5 will be Chicago History. So if you know a little bit about Chicago and/or are an avid viewer of the C-Dub, this is your night.</p> <p>We'll see you Sunday!</p> <p>-Nick</p> <p>The name pretty much sums it up - we meetup to play bar trivia (or pub quiz, if you prefer).&nbsp; This meet-up is for young people (mid-20ish to mid-30ish) who want to meet new people, check out new bars, and know lots of random stuff (or want to learn!).&nbsp;</p>

10061538 120930 <p>A group of coders and designers meets in Fair Lawn monthly. Come to a meeting and help shape the discussion. There's room for all interests and levels of web or technology involvement. Discussions take form according to who shows up any particular month. We're at Panera Bread [Fair Lawn] to take advantage of the free Wifi! Bring your iphone or laptop and a friend! Kimi Wei</p> <p>We call this a convergence because several other groups have elected to share the same meeting space and time – another programming group, a web design group and a group of (mostly Wordpress) bloggers.</p> <p>The knowledge represented is very broad ranging. We get front end developers joining us as well as hardcore programmers with impressive skills who code for web and handhelds in PHP, Java, jQuery, C, .net, AJAX, mobile; CMS systems including Drupal and Wordpress; database management ... and other languages and platforms.</p> <p>The evening typically starts off with people chatting one group and as the evening progresses people find the conversations or troubleshooting partners that interest them and break out into small groups to examine code together and look at each other's work projects. These meetings are great learning environments and good for meeting people too.</p> <p>Due to the intense level of individuality and independence in the programming community, many members of our group don't like to RSVP, but we typically get 15 to 30 people coming out to meetings.</p> <p>Headhunters are welcome to send notices of job postings and to drop by to say Hi and meet members of the group.</p>

10061700 463364 <p>Our Agenda:</p> <p>I have invited, Steven who is a Qi gong teacher. He will lead the session.</p> <p>I will update here more about his practice and him... Stay tuned.</p> <p><br/>We will practice:<br/>Qi gong<br/>Ni gong - 5 elements Tai Chi (for description/video see : <a href="http://meetandgrow.com/media/p/60.aspx">Five Elements Nei Gong</a>Ni gong)</p> <p>I will announce private location to members who sign up.</p> <p>"Qigong (or ch'i kung) refers to a wide variety of traditional cultivation practices that involve methods of accumulating, circulating, and working with qi, breathing or energy within the body. Qigong is practiced for health maintenance purposes, as a therapeutic intervention, as a medical profession, a spiritual path and/or component of Chinese martial arts.</p> <p>The qi in qigong means air in Chinese, and, by extension, life force, dynamic energy or even cosmic breath. Gong means work applied to a discipline or the resultant level of skill, so qigong is thus breath work or energy work. The term was coined in the twentieth-century and its currency, David Ownby suggests, speaks of a cultural desire to separate cultivation from superstition, to secularize and preserve valuable aspects of traditional Chinese practices.[1]"</p> <p>from wikipedia</p> <p>Please write about your experiences about Qi gong on meetandgrow <a href="http://meetandgrow.com/forums/p/105/184.aspx#184">Qi gong NJ</a></p> <p> For more information please visit our website <a href="http://Meetandgrow.com">Meetandgrow.com</a>.<br/>There is no cost to attend the meeting.

Whether you use this group to travel or to find your next love is up to you. We will go out, do weekend get aways, have upscale nights,  do unusual things, couples things, singles things, all in the name of fun.</p> <p>You work. You go home. You raise your kids. You deserve a night out right? Let's do it big, have house parties like they did in the old days, go to ball games, play cards.  What's wrong with that?</p> <p>You take care of business. Now you deserve to have fun.</p> <p>Strictly for adults. No one under 25 please.</p>
100617562 6214862 <p>OK, new spot is tea in Geneva.  Since it appears that a large group of us are interested, we can pick any day/time and reserve a private party type deal.  But in order to do that, it would have to be a group of 10 or more.  Otherwise, Afternoon Tea is offered from 2-4:30 every Thurs. &amp; Sat.  Groups larger than 4, they recommend having a reservation.  Below is a link to the site where you can view the menu.  I think a Saturday in late March/early April might work well.  If you're in Chicago, you can easily take the train from Ogilvy station into Geneva.  The Little Traveler is a few minutes down the road from the train.  Let me know your thoughts!</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://littletraveler.com/little-traveler-atrium-cafe/afternoon-tea/" class="linkified">http://littletraveler.com/little-traveler-atrium-cafe/afternoon-tea/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>I should mention...the cost for afternoon tea is around $12/person.  Not sure if the cost goes up for a private party, but I would hope not!  If enough people jump on a particular date, I will ask about a private party for tea.  :)</p> <p>This is a group for people interested in Steampunk with some passion for science fiction, history, and sane, intelligent conversation. We are kindred spirits with an interest in alternate historical imaginings. We will watch movies, read books, listen to Steampunk music, talk ideas, and find places, primarily in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, to dress as and explore our characters. Inclusive, welcoming, but not kinky.  We are travelers of time and the imagination.</p>
10061764 1331341 <p>TRADITIONAL SUNDAY SERVICE</p> <p>Chanting Lotus Sutra in English<br/>Sermon by Rev. Kamiya<br/>Hoza</p> <p><br/>The religious practice of Hoza was first started by Shakyamuni Buddha himself; followers gather together to reflect on their practice and help one another further their spiritual growth.</p> <p>With the Hoza leader as their guide, members keep the Buddha's teaching in focus as they apply it to various experiences and episodes of their daily lives. Members talk in detail about their worries, anxieties, and hardships trying to figure out why each particular misfortune happened to them They learn from one another how the cause of the suffering can be found in a person's own heart and mind.</p> <p><span>Our goal is to have a teaching center where we can join with others to discover and celebrate spiritual growth.  We endeavor to share our experiences with others to build a bond of integrity and strength within our community.  Because we are all connected, we practice responsibility in all aspects of our lives.  When you cast a stone into the water, the ripples extend far beyond the original action.</span></p>

10061967 208172 <p>Welcome to the coolest pug walk in Southern Westchester County, Bronxville, New York. Bring your pug or pugs, your children and your friends. The meet and greet begins at 10:30am sharp. The walk begins by 11:00am. We walk the pugs around the lake between Bronxville &amp; Tuckahoe along the Northbound side of the Bronx River Parkway. It's about 1/4 mile (which is just about enough for the fur-babies). It can last anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 &amp; 1/2 hours. We stop for water breaks, but it's on the "3 benches" where all the fun happens. Treats, more water, and the photo session. These "little clowns" provide everyone with the joys of being owned by a pug!</p> <p>Parking is tight. We suggest you come early to search for a spot along Pondfield Road West, or up by the train station (Metro North)-Studio Arcade and then walk down Pondfield Road West to meet us. Your hostesses - Gracie &amp; Chloe, both fawn pugs will be there early to meet you all.<br/>Just plan on having a fun time!<br/>You can take your pug on Metro North to the Bronxville Station &amp; cross over to other side and walk down the hill, Pondfield Rd. West.</p> <p>Bronx River Pkwy-North, exit Pondfield Road West-look across the street, that's where we meet.</p> <p>Bronx River Pkwy-South, exit Desmond Ave. Turn left, at stop sign turn left again, then sharp left on Parkway Road. Follow to turnstile and follow to Pondfield Rd. West.</p> <p>Note: although this IS a free event we do ask members (that come often) to sponsor a month so we can keep the site up &amp; running so that you all can view the fun pictures we take week after week....sponsorship is still open. Please speak to Cam or Kate for which months are still available.</p> <p>Please take a moment to RSVP. We look forward to seeing all our old friends and to welcome new friends. "It's all about the Pugs"</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline">Welcome!</span> We started this walk (back in 2003-and we joined Meetup in 2005) because we saw so many pugs in the Bronxville village and surrounding areas. Come and meet some really great people &amp; join the coolest-weekly pug walk around! </strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>*Remember, "It's all about the pug"!.</strong></span></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline">Just a note:</span> Once owned by Tibetan monks, pugs made their way to Europe with the Dutch East India Company in the 1700s?the rest is history. Today, pugs are one of the most recognizable and popular breeds in the world. The pug is a great charmer, intelligent, even tempered with a lively and happy disposition. They are very affectionate and make rewarding and amusing companions.

10062154 218094 <p>It is effectively war in the southern border with Mexico. Crackdown by the Mexican government has only escalated the situation. Ammunition and armaments are flowing into Mexico from the United States, and drugs are as easily crossing the other way.</p> <p>In a series of articles, the Economist looks into the situation, <a href="http://www.economist.com/displayStory.cfm?story_id=13234157">following the trail of traffickers</a>, and what kind of measures are needed to <a href="http://www.economist.com/opinion/displaystory.cfm?story_id=13237193">combat the situation</a>. For a brief introduction to Mexico's drug war, <a href="http://www.cfr.org/publication/13689/">here's</a> an analysis from the Council of Foreign Relations.</p> <p>We will try to understand the situation and the international political implications.</p> <p>In 1968, Czechs &amp; Slovaks under soviet-dominated communist rule yearned for a say in the governance of their own country. A blossoming of political discourse in cafes and pubs led to demands for self rule in the capital. Unfortunately, the Prague Spring uprising was crushed with Soviet Tanks, but their spirit inspired our group's desire to exchange ideas on the domestic and international affairs.</p> <p>Prague Spring was founded in 2003 in New York City. The group picks a topic, identifies articles or chooses a book and engages in a focused, in-depth discussion. Prague Spring’s strength comes from its members' diversity of ethnicity and careers as well as the spectrum of perspectives from conservative to liberal. Prague Spring welcomes anyone who can offer insight deeper than a TV sound bite, differ respectfully from their peers or simply enjoy an intelligent, informed debate.</p> <p>Our meetings types include:</p> <p>1. Topic Discussions: These meetings typically focus on a political issue currently dominating the news. We circulate articles and focus on the particular topic with a vigorous debate.</p> <p>2. Book Club: Prague Spring chooses books dealing with major issues in international affairs, either those that have shaped civilizations in the past or the generational challenges we face today. (For more details see the About Us section)</p> <p>3. Outside Events: Prague Spring identifies events sponsored by other organizations that we think may interest our members. Often we will socialize together at or after these events.</p> <p>Prague Spring encourages you to participate and submit any ideas you may have to Lee, Prague Spring’s Founder and Organizer. We are encouraging members to become more involved and lead meetings themselves.</p>

10062214 991158 <p>The Englishman, John Stuart Mill, published what is considered to be the classic work on democratic freedom, the essay, On Liberty, which is as controversial today as when it was published in 1859.

10062297 431480 <p>Sunday Morning Meeting<br/>Today's topic: to be announced</p> <p>Our most important community event is the Sunday Meeting. This weekly gathering is held in the Concert Hall from mid-September through June and starts at 11:15 a.m. Less formal programs are held in Ceremonial Hall during the summer at 10:30 a.m.</p> <p>Our meeting usually begins with a musical prelude, followed by greetings, readings, musical interludes, and an address. The readings and address are usually given by one or more of the Society's Leaders, members, or guest speakers, who may discuss a diversity of topics that reflect our philosophy.</p> <p>Meetings are intended to educate, inspire reflection and action, stimulate personal growth, and build a sense of community. While the Society appreciates contributions to cover costs, meetings are free and open to the public. Society members are available after the Meeting to greet newcomers, answer their questions and accompany them to lunch in the cafeteria.</p> <p>New-comer greeters will invite you to join us for social hour and complimentary lunch after the Sunday presentation.</p> <p>For more information go to www.nysec.org</p> <p><span style="font-size : x-small"><span style="font-size : large"><strong><span style="font-size : x-large">Ethical Culture</span></strong></span></span> <span style="font-size : small">is a movement centered on ethics, not theology, whose mission is to encourage respect for humanity and nature and to create a better world.

10062394 1413952 <p>Somehow, through the passing of time and the re-writing of history, we have lost our divine legacy, or have simply turned a blind eye to the truth that we are spiritual beings in physical form. The Bible says that God created human beings in "our image, in our likeness . . . . male and female" God created them (NIV Genesis 1:26-27). This teaches us that God is not the proverbial old white man in the sky that so many of us grew up imagining God to be, but that each one of us are -- as Paul said -- temples of God, made in God's image and likeness. In Romans 8:9, the biblical witness said "Ye are not [merely] flesh, but... the Spirit of God dwells in you." In John 10:34-35, Jesus said, "it is not written in your law, I said, ye are Gods." In fact, Paul said that we "live and move, and have our being" in God (Acts 17:28). If we really believe that God made all of us in God's image and likeness, we should have no problem believing that each one of us, including the "brown girl", is a God, too. It is in this Spirit that I decided to share stories, during the Sunday services in March and April, from my book, God Is A Brown Girl, Too (© 2009) -- not to limit -- but to expand the notion of humanity's Oneness with God. If you live a meager existence that never seems to know you were born to create but simply satisfies itself with less; if you are tied to the belief that someone else is God, somebody, anybody besides you and you pray to him unceasingly to do all that you have the power to manifest; if you are tip-toeing around the periphery of something greater than you are -- no longer believing that you are creator of the shape and form and texture of everything in your midst, then you should come and join this new movement of Spirit!</p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/a/a/a/event_7819114.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left">SPIRITMUV is a community of like- minded people, dedicated to transformation and empowerment through spiritual development and awareness.</p> <p>God is Spirit, which transcends religion, race, ethnicity, and culture.</p> <p>Spirit is unlimited source, divine mind, infinite creativity, and continuous movement, constantly calling us to be an expression of love for all humanity.</p> <p>Where there is Spirit, like where there is Love, like where there is Faith, there is the Church.</p> <p>SPIRITMUV is a church that is dedicated to the self-empowerment of all people. We welcome people from all walks of life and all life experiences who have the desire to discover Spirit through self-discovery.</p> <p>This is a warm community that not only delivers a tranformational message but also allows its members to share songs, readings and testimony.</p> <p>Services are led each Sunday by Reverend Cecilia Loving at the UNITY CENTER OF NYC, from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM, 213 West 58th Street, between BROADWAY and 7th Streets, New York, New York.</p>

10063028 1136248 <p>Update to the earlier Thursday update: Looks like it may not rain afterall, just be cloudy and in the 60's - great bike riding weather! And yes John, another meetup group has been invited, so there will be more people and more enjoyment. Sometimes there are multi-meetups at an event, not to compete with each other, but rather to complement and expand the size and fun. Let's be friendly and welcoming to whomever shows up.<br/>Update: Rain is in the forecast, perhaps even thunderstorms, for Saturday morning. If it rains, this event will be cancelled.<br/>Otherwise look for me by my black Chevy Trailblazer SUV with the large bike rack that hold up to 4 bikes. My cell # is[masked]-3940.</p> <p>Ride the Rock May 16, 2009<br/>Event Details:<br/>To celebrate National Bike Month, the Forest Preserve District of Will County is hosting the third annual "Ride the Rock."</p> <p>This free, family bike ride will begin at the Forest Preserve's I &amp; M Canal Access Preserve, on Houbolt Road (&amp; Empress Drive) in Joliet, just south of Interstate I-80. See lower right corner of map, which can be enlarged by clicking on it.</p> <p>We will then proceed north to Joliet Junior College and Theodore Marsh preserve, where bicyclists will access the Joliet Junction Trail to head south. The Joliet Junction intersects with the I &amp; M Canal Trail in Rockdale, which leads back to the starting point. Some may choose to ride further south, while the rest head back to the starting point.</p> <p>The entire route is 16 miles in all. Four rest stops will be available along the way, providing refreshments and restrooms. You might also want to bring water, and a snack like a bag of nuts or trail mix.</p> <p>The degree of difficulty is easy to moderate.</p> <p>This program is open to all ages, but it is recommended that individual bike riders be at least 11 years old.</p> <p>Participants are encouraged to wear a safety helmet. (Remember actress Natasha Richardson's recent head injury which unfortunately resulted in her untimely death.) The trail may be somewhat crowded at points.</p> <p>Check in begins at 8 a.m., and the last riders should set out on the trail no later than 11 a.m.</p> <p>For information, call 815.727.8700.</p> <p>For more details, visit: <a href="http://new.fpdwc.org/specialevents.cfm"><a href="http://new.fpdwc.org/" class="linkified">http://new.fpdwc.org/</a>...</a> -- Will County FOP special events</p> <p>Welcome to Southwest Suburbs Sports, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup(SWBurbsSOS)<br> The purpose of this group is to individuals/couples the opportunity to meet and connect with others with the same interests.</p> <p>We will be focusing on 3 areas:</p> <p>Sports will include: 1) Setup Teams for Park District Leagues 2) Road Races: 5K, etc 3) Golf Outings 4) Etc.</p> <p>Outdoors will include: 1) Hiking 2) Camping 3) Canoeing 4) Cycling 5) Etc.</p> <p>Socials will include: 1) Dining 2) Festivals 3) Picnics 4) Comedy Clubs 5) Concerts 6) Game Nights 7) Etc</p> <p>We have no membership dues.</p> <p>So why not join us and see what the SW Suburbs have to offer.</p> <p>If you have an idea for an event, please email us.</p> <p>Tell a Friend!</p> <p>---</p> <p>Upcoming Events<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/calendar/list/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/calendar/list/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/calendar/list/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/calendar/list/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/calendar/list/</a></p> <p>SW Burbs SOS Group on Facebook<br> (Meetup.com is the Group Main Site.)<br> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43825399923"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43825399923" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43825399923" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43825399923" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43825399923</a></p> <p>SW Burbs SOS Group on Yahoo<br> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWBurbSocialClub/"></a><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWBurbSocialClub/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWBurbSocialClub/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWBurbSocialClub/" target="_blank">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWBurbSocialClub/</a><br> ---<br> 2 Great Meetup Groups for you to enjoy.</p> <p>Southwest Suburbs Sports, Outdoors, and Social Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/</a></p> <p>Chicago Hiking, Outdoors, and Social Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsCampingPlus/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/</a></p> <p> </p>
10063072 1288466 <p><b>MEET UP FOR FOOD, DRINKS AND ADVENTURE PLANNING.</b></p> <p>Bohemian Hall is one of the last few places in NYC you can sit under HUGE trees at a picnic table and drink beer with a group of friends. With only a short trek to Queens and no airport security or jet lag, we can have a true Czech experience. And as an extra bonus BLAZE&gt;&gt;'s very own Czech, Milos, will be there to explain the magic and wonder of Czech beer gardens.</p> <p>This is a great chance for new members to meet organizers and find out what BLAZE&gt;&gt; is about. Our city events usually last a few hours - so if you are running late - still try to stop by. If cold or rainy - we'll set up camp near to the olympic size foosball table.</p> <p><b>DIRECTIONS</b><br/>SUBWAY: The N to Astoria Blvd. (one stop before the last - Ditmars Blvd.). Walk 1 block to the intersection of 24th Avenue and 31st Street. We are located between 29th Street and 31st Street.</p> <p>DRIVING: From Grand Central Parkway or the Triboro Bridge, exit at Hoyt Avenue. Proceed 1 block to 24th avenue, along 31st Street (under El.)</p> <p>Let me know if you have any questions.</p> <p>I hope to see you there!</p> <p>Cheers,<br/>John</p> <p>Join us for nights under the stars, treks in the woods and NYC events to talk about your favorite gear and the next adventure.</p> <p>BLAZE&gt;&gt; is a group for gay men in NYC that crave being outdoors and are passionate about backpacking and backcountry camping. New to backpacking? No worries, our members range from beginner trekkers with lots of enthusiasm to seasoned adventurers with years of experience to share. We are committed to challenging ourselves by trekking to isolated places of remarkable beauty, but our trips are as much about the journey as they are about being an über athlete.</p> <p>There are no fees to join BLAZE&gt;&gt;, but you can help cover MeetUp admin costs by shopping for BLAZE&gt;&gt; products at on-line stores <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/blazenyc">Zazzle</a> and <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/BLAZENYC">CafePress</a>.</p> <p>We're friends with <a href="http://www.meetup.com/BlazeCO/">Blaze^Colorado</a>.</p>

BLESSED BE.</p> <p><strong><span style="color : black"><span style="color : #555555">Welcome Everyione,</span></span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">This meetup was created for all who are interested in finding local groups, covens, temples etc. to celebrate, maybe become members of and attend events provided the myriad of pagans in the TriState Area.</span> </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">So how did all this come about? As the organizer of some of the many pagan events in New York City, we know how difficult it can be to organize and run your many events.</span>   We will be the first to say that organizing a group, coven, Temple etc. is never easy. We began with 5 people to… I would say we have had as many as 300 at some of our events in the NYC area and still growing.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">There are so many fun and informative events in the New York in general to attend and most do not know of them.</span>  We hope that this can become the forum for all pagan groups, covens, temples to get support for all their many events.  Show them and us that we appreciate all their many efforts to provide a community for us to reach and celebrate with.  Think of the effort, monies, wisdom, strength of will and many man and woman hours put into presenting you with these events because it is their passion.  All of which without your support with attendance will eventually cease to exist. </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">Some Events are Pagan, Medieval, Renaissance etc. oriented and some are just plain old fun. To name a few:</span>  (do hope they do not mind )</strong></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>The Witches Masquerade Ball                                                                                                                      </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>The Medieval Festival                                                                                                                                      </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>The Annual NYC Witches Masquerade Bal                                                                                             </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>NY Pagan Expo                                                                                                                                               </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Long Island Beltaine                                                                                                                             </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Pagan Pride Project                                                                                                                                         </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>The Annual Beltane in Central Park                                                                                                   </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Beltaine: A Pagan Oydssey                                                                                                                </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Comic Con (oh yeah it’s fun)                                                                                                             </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Wicked Faire</span></strong></span></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">OOOH MY, CAN WE ATTEND THEM ALL PLEASE!</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">We hope with this site that we can create this as one of the best resources for Pagans in general.</span>  As New Yorkers we like to find out about pagan events in the TriState area, National or International to attend.  </strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="color : black">We are a group of witches here to share many common interests and work together effectively towards a common goal. This group</span></em> <em><span style="color : black">can be structured in whatever way its leaders and members choose.</span></em></strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="color : black">To be a support, consciousness-raising, and religious and non-religious group or congregation all rolled into one...At the same time, it becomes an entity in itself, with a personality of its own.</span></em></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">We will always be welcoming, friendly, and inviting to all Wiccans, Witches, Druids etc. and other Neopagans.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">As of the present time we do not have what you would call a permanent place but we are definitely striving towards that, as are many of us that have formed a group, coven or community of their own.</span>  By taking this first step, in trying to establish that goal.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">Like any spell or prayer, you do the spell but you must also put in the work to achieve and make that spell come to fruition, hence WitchsFest USA.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">We have also created www.witchsfestusa.org where all pagan groups, covens, temples etc can have their events exposed to the pagan community at large for free:</span>  Sabbats, Esbats, Fund Raisers, Charities, (events only no classes) for the general support of the pagan community.  We only ask that in exchange we help promote one another, not compete, but rather assist each others groups/covens/temples in fostering the many amazing pagan communities around us.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">With the forming of this viable community, each one of us has chosen to make this dream a functional reality. To do this, we pledge ourselves to these goals. We know our path is not an easy one, but we will gain what we invest.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="color : black">Try? There is no try. There is only Do or do not!</span></em> <span style="color : black">--Yoda</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">For this reason we would like to build WitchsFest USA into becoming one of the 'big festivals’ as one of our Fund Raisers that everyone looks forward to going to every year.</span> <span style="color : black">One where they can have fun, improve the perception of the general public and in the interim we can also raise funds for our ‘Building/Space Fund’. Real Estate in New York City being VERY expensive so it may take us some time and great effort, but with all of our intents we will make it manifest.</span>  YOU WILL BECOME OUR SUPPORT GROUP as we all strive to achieve a common goal and make great things together.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">Additional reasons:</span>                          </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating a Family Friendly Pagan &amp; Non-Pagan Friendly Environment</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating A Better Community – We have brought the community together since 2005, for many different events. Our years of teaching since 1995 has been a learning experience for us while developing our working partnership and learning how to deal with a largely diverse and often transitional group of newcomers to the Craft.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">. Celebrating with this community - all the Sabbats, from Ostara to Yule and even forming our own Annual NYC Witches Masquerade Balls which began in 2005.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Working diligently with a great group of amazing people in the forming of The Wiccan Family Temple begiinning in 2005. Followed by The WFT Academy of Pagan Studies in 2007. Forming also, The NYC Pagan Council, to bring awareness to all Pagans of the many injustices and crossing of our civil rights. Despite us almost giving up on some of the many ideas we've had, we have persevered thus far.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· As such, we would like to have many Groups/Covens/Temples be involved in this in one form or another.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Networking and Bringing together a diverse number of people of varied Pagan Religions and Traditions coming together and networking with each other, forming a common bond and doing great things together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Reclaiming or just plain Claiming the right to Ownership of our Religion &amp; our Temple such as it is – As Witches we will create positive changes, among ourselves and in the world around us.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Open to solitaries, groups and covens, celebrating and experiencing the pagan holidays together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating opportunities for everyone on many levels by opening the space for all of our community as a place they will feel welcomed at all times to house many events, workshops or classes.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Setting an example in the community at large – Especially the publics perception.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Recognition and Our Reputation – We are a small temple in the New York City area, with a handful of committed individuals but we do have a place in the hearts of many. And thus we have a responsibility to the community at large and have earned our place within it.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Fun – The key ingredient in this plus the freedom to just be who we are among our own.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Dedication to each other and to those who will join us in the future</span></span><span style="color : black">. Commitment is the most vital factor to our success. We are each other's guides and teachers. We would all do well to encourage and emulate those qualities we admire and experience in ourselves and each other.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Work together</span></span><span style="color : black">. Ours is a path of action. To repeat an old phrase, either you cut bait, fish, or mend the nets, lines and boats, but everyone contributes to the best of their abilities.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Building and maintaining community</span></span><span style="color : black">. Community is best maintained when everyone in it knowingly participates in its process. As Alexander Hamilton said to Aaron Burr "My country, sir, right or wrong. When it is right, keep it that way; when it is wrong, correct it."</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Seek to influence events to bring liberty, love and enlightenment</span></span><span style="color : black">. By liberty, we recognize that we are free to do what we want for good or ill, and thus we strive to fearlessly accept the consequences of our actions.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">So please do join us in this ground breaking quest to finally have a physical space that is a Pagan Temple in NYC, an actual Temple.

The Germanic Goddess Ostara or Eostre (Goddess of the Dawn), after whom Easter is named, is the tutelary deity of this holiday.

Gather the seeds of inspiration and imagine what they can grow into. Build an Altar to the Moon and bless your garden in the moonlight. Prepare the earth for planting and yourself for change. The time when the chains of winter are broken, Spring has arrived, This is the time when all of life burst forth in joyous celebration.<br/>This is the time when the Goddess Hecate returns to the underworld and Persephone returns to Demeter rising from the Depths of the Underworld with Hades and bringing forth new life.<br/>Equal balance of day and night, when all the elements within us must be brought into a new harmony. The arrival of Spring begins to enliven the environment with new growth and new born animals begin to emerge and explore the world. Many people feel "reborn" after the long nights and coldness of winter. The Germanic Goddess Ostara or Eostre (Goddess of the Dawn), after whom Easter is named, is the tutelary deity of this holiday. It is she, as herald of the sun, who announces the triumphant return of life to the earth. A joyful time, the seed time, when life bursts forth from the earth and the chains of winter are broken. Now is the time to see how well our own souls are balanced and to plant those things that we are lacking in ourselves.

As the organizer of some of the many pagan events in New York City, we know how difficult it can be to organize and run your many events.</span>   We will be the first to say that organizing a group, coven, Temple etc. is never easy. We began with 5 people to… I would say we have had as many as 300 at some of our events in the NYC area and still growing.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">There are so many fun and informative events in the New York in general to attend and most do not know of them.</span>  We hope that this can become the forum for all pagan groups, covens, temples to get support for all their many events.  Show them and us that we appreciate all their many efforts to provide a community for us to reach and celebrate with.  Think of the effort, monies, wisdom, strength of will and many man and woman hours put into presenting you with these events because it is their passion.  All of which without your support with attendance will eventually cease to exist. </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">Some Events are Pagan, Medieval, Renaissance etc. oriented and some are just plain old fun.

Celebrating with this community - all the Sabbats, from Ostara to Yule and even forming our own Annual NYC Witches Masquerade Balls which began in 2005.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Working diligently with a great group of amazing people in the forming of The Wiccan Family Temple begiinning in 2005. Followed by The WFT Academy of Pagan Studies in 2007. Forming also, The NYC Pagan Council, to bring awareness to all Pagans of the many injustices and crossing of our civil rights. Despite us almost giving up on some of the many ideas we've had, we have persevered thus far.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· As such, we would like to have many Groups/Covens/Temples be involved in this in one form or another.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Networking and Bringing together a diverse number of people of varied Pagan Religions and Traditions coming together and networking with each other, forming a common bond and doing great things together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Reclaiming or just plain Claiming the right to Ownership of our Religion &amp; our Temple such as it is – As Witches we will create positive changes, among ourselves and in the world around us.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Open to solitaries, groups and covens, celebrating and experiencing the pagan holidays together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating opportunities for everyone on many levels by opening the space for all of our community as a place they will feel welcomed at all times to house many events, workshops or classes.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Setting an example in the community at large – Especially the publics perception.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Recognition and Our Reputation – We are a small temple in the New York City area, with a handful of committed individuals but we do have a place in the hearts of many.

Celebrating with this community - all the Sabbats, from Ostara to Yule and even forming our own Annual NYC Witches Masquerade Balls which began in 2005.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Working diligently with a great group of amazing people in the forming of The Wiccan Family Temple begiinning in 2005. Followed by The WFT Academy of Pagan Studies in 2007. Forming also, The NYC Pagan Council, to bring awareness to all Pagans of the many injustices and crossing of our civil rights. Despite us almost giving up on some of the many ideas we've had, we have persevered thus far.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· As such, we would like to have many Groups/Covens/Temples be involved in this in one form or another.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Networking and Bringing together a diverse number of people of varied Pagan Religions and Traditions coming together and networking with each other, forming a common bond and doing great things together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Reclaiming or just plain Claiming the right to Ownership of our Religion &amp; our Temple such as it is – As Witches we will create positive changes, among ourselves and in the world around us.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Open to solitaries, groups and covens, celebrating and experiencing the pagan holidays together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating opportunities for everyone on many levels by opening the space for all of our community as a place they will feel welcomed at all times to house many events, workshops or classes.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Setting an example in the community at large – Especially the publics perception.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Recognition and Our Reputation – We are a small temple in the New York City area, with a handful of committed individuals but we do have a place in the hearts of many.

Real Estate in New York City being VERY expensive so it may take us some time and great effort, but with all of our intents we will make it manifest.</span>  YOU WILL BECOME OUR SUPPORT GROUP as we all strive to achieve a common goal and make great things together.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">Additional reasons:</span>                          </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating a Family Friendly Pagan &amp; Non-Pagan Friendly Environment</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating A Better Community – We have brought the community together since 2005, for many different events. Our years of teaching since 1995 has been a learning experience for us while developing our working partnership and learning how to deal with a largely diverse and often transitional group of newcomers to the Craft.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">. Celebrating with this community - all the Sabbats, from Ostara to Yule and even forming our own Annual NYC Witches Masquerade Balls which began in 2005.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Working diligently with a great group of amazing people in the forming of The Wiccan Family Temple begiinning in 2005. Followed by The WFT Academy of Pagan Studies in 2007. Forming also, The NYC Pagan Council, to bring awareness to all Pagans of the many injustices and crossing of our civil rights. Despite us almost giving up on some of the many ideas we've had, we have persevered thus far.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· As such, we would like to have many Groups/Covens/Temples be involved in this in one form or another.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Networking and Bringing together a diverse number of people of varied Pagan Religions and Traditions coming together and networking with each other, forming a common bond and doing great things together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Reclaiming or just plain Claiming the right to Ownership of our Religion &amp; our Temple such as it is – As Witches we will create positive changes, among ourselves and in the world around us.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Open to solitaries, groups and covens, celebrating and experiencing the pagan holidays together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating opportunities for everyone on many levels by opening the space for all of our community as a place they will feel welcomed at all times to house many events, workshops or classes.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Setting an example in the community at large – Especially the publics perception.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Recognition and Our Reputation – We are a small temple in the New York City area, with a handful of committed individuals but we do have a place in the hearts of many. And thus we have a responsibility to the community at large and have earned our place within it.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Fun – The key ingredient in this plus the freedom to just be who we are among our own.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Dedication to each other and to those who will join us in the future</span></span><span style="color : black">. Commitment is the most vital factor to our success. We are each other's guides and teachers. We would all do well to encourage and emulate those qualities we admire and experience in ourselves and each other.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Work together</span></span><span style="color : black">. Ours is a path of action. To repeat an old phrase, either you cut bait, fish, or mend the nets, lines and boats, but everyone contributes to the best of their abilities.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Building and maintaining community</span></span><span style="color : black">. Community is best maintained when everyone in it knowingly participates in its process. As Alexander Hamilton said to Aaron Burr "My country, sir, right or wrong. When it is right, keep it that way; when it is wrong, correct it."</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Seek to influence events to bring liberty, love and enlightenment</span></span><span style="color : black">. By liberty, we recognize that we are free to do what we want for good or ill, and thus we strive to fearlessly accept the consequences of our actions.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">So please do join us in this ground breaking quest to finally have a physical space that is a Pagan Temple in NYC, an actual Temple.

Come Learn What It's All About!</p> <p>Link<a href="http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/pages/New_York_Art_Tavelers">New York Art Tavelers</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NY-ART-TRAVELERS/calendar/10042416/"><a href="http://www.meetup.com" class="linkified">http://www.meetup.com</a>...</a></p> <p>We begin our evening viewing the work of Mary Mattingly...</p> <p>(taken from the press release)</p> <p>[who] has developed an intriguing creative methodology that integrates photography with aspects of sculpture, installation, and performance. Drawing upon the work of whimsical dreamers and recalling failed utopian projects, yet intermixing Fortune 500 corporate logos with jaw-dropping landscapes, Mattingly's work engages conflict with the systems of technology and consumerism. Rigorous in its research, these multi-form projects begin with the imagination of a possible scenario and evolve as ad hoc solutions to the circumstances of living and sustaining. With Nomadographies Mattingly proposes a world returned to nomadic roots, following a peripatetic population constantly on the move. In as much as the protagonists in Mattingly's photographs are related to pioneers of the American frontier, they are also products of a Cold War-era bunker mentality. This spirit is embodied in the recurring image of Mattingly's "karts." Bicycles piled precariously high with scavenged cardboard boxes and bound with bungee cords, these mobile shelters represent a Sisyphean struggle with the remnants of modern society. Literally crashing out of one of the gallery walls, a Kart seems a relic from another — ambiguous — time.<br/>We will continue our walk through the Galleries in the Heart Of the Gallery District. All are welcome to join in just the Walk, the After Dinner or both.</p> <p>Openings are generally held from 6-8pm</p> <p>Dinner festivities with the group:</p> <p>Time: 8pm<br/>Pepe's @[masked]th Ave, (@w24-25th St.),<br/>Look for a Red Awning(there are several but only one between 24th and 25th St) west side of the street.</p> <p>Ask for Elizabeth or reach me on my cell at any point:[masked]-7307.</p> <p>I look forward to meeting you there! We'll Have a Blast! Elizabeth :)</p> Hello 1001ers I thought it would be really fun to put together a list of 1001 really special "NYC" only activities that are true to the character of this city. Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

100635222 3755172 <p>Lughnassadh is the ancient fire festival, and one of the Great Sabbats, when Pagans mark the shortening days and celebrate the first harvest. His death reflected the dying of Lugh, the Sun God. The waning light heralded the coming of darkness and winter. The Goddess become the Reaper, and attends the God in His passing. Sober but not tragic, as the God says in<br/>The Lord of the Dance<br/>I sleep in the kernel and I dance in the rain;<br/>I dance in the wind and in the waving grain;<br/>And when you cut me down I care nothing for the pain:<br/>In the spring I’m the Lord of the Dance once again!</p> <p>A time for sharing so bring foods of all kinds to share, eg: corn, berries, apple cider, wine in a plastic bottle, corn bread, grained bread, grape juice, veggies, fruits etc.<br/>Attuning to the season by sacrificing whatever is inappropriate in our lives, like fear or unrealistic expectations; by completing all projects and goals.

As the organizer of some of the many pagan events in New York City, we know how difficult it can be to organize and run your many events.</span>   We will be the first to say that organizing a group, coven, Temple etc. is never easy. We began with 5 people to… I would say we have had as many as 300 at some of our events in the NYC area and still growing.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">There are so many fun and informative events in the New York in general to attend and most do not know of them.</span>  We hope that this can become the forum for all pagan groups, covens, temples to get support for all their many events.  Show them and us that we appreciate all their many efforts to provide a community for us to reach and celebrate with.  Think of the effort, monies, wisdom, strength of will and many man and woman hours put into presenting you with these events because it is their passion.  All of which without your support with attendance will eventually cease to exist. </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">Some Events are Pagan, Medieval, Renaissance etc. oriented and some are just plain old fun.

Mantendremos una mezcla de autores de España/Sudamerica/Centroamerica/México. Bienvenidos a los lectores a que les fascina la lengua/cultura española y latinoamericana. Bienvenidos también a todos los niveles del idioma español, no importa si tiene un nivel principiante o sea de herencia natal. -- The goal of this Meetup Group is to pick a book of hispanic origin, read it, and, once a month, get together to discuss it (and its influences, cultural impacts,...whatever comes up). We'll try to maintain a good mix of Spain/South America/Central America/Mexico author representation. Open to readers who have a love of Spanish language and culture. Welcome to all speaking levels, whether you're just learning Spanish or are a native speaker.

As the organizer of some of the many pagan events in New York City, we know how difficult it can be to organize and run your many events.</span>   We will be the first to say that organizing a group, coven, Temple etc. is never easy. We began with 5 people to… I would say we have had as many as 300 at some of our events in the NYC area and still growing.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">There are so many fun and informative events in the New York in general to attend and most do not know of them.</span>  We hope that this can become the forum for all pagan groups, covens, temples to get support for all their many events.  Show them and us that we appreciate all their many efforts to provide a community for us to reach and celebrate with.  Think of the effort, monies, wisdom, strength of will and many man and woman hours put into presenting you with these events because it is their passion.  All of which without your support with attendance will eventually cease to exist. </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">Some Events are Pagan, Medieval, Renaissance etc. oriented and some are just plain old fun. To name a few:</span>  (do hope they do not mind )</strong></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>The Witches Masquerade Ball                                                                                                                      </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>The Medieval Festival                                                                                                                                      </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>The Annual NYC Witches Masquerade Bal                                                                                             </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>NY Pagan Expo                                                                                                                                               </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Long Island Beltaine                                                                                                                             </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Pagan Pride Project                                                                                                                                         </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>The Annual Beltane in Central Park                                                                                                   </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Beltaine: A Pagan Oydssey                                                                                                                </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Comic Con (oh yeah it’s fun)                                                                                                             </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Wicked Faire</span></strong></span></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">OOOH MY, CAN WE ATTEND THEM ALL PLEASE!</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">We hope with this site that we can create this as one of the best resources for Pagans in general.</span>  As New Yorkers we like to find out about pagan events in the TriState area, National or International to attend.  </strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="color : black">We are a group of witches here to share many common interests and work together effectively towards a common goal.

To do this, we pledge ourselves to these goals. We know our path is not an easy one, but we will gain what we invest.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="color : black">Try? There is no try.

Real Estate in New York City being VERY expensive so it may take us some time and great effort, but with all of our intents we will make it manifest.</span>  YOU WILL BECOME OUR SUPPORT GROUP as we all strive to achieve a common goal and make great things together.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">Additional reasons:</span>                          </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating a Family Friendly Pagan &amp; Non-Pagan Friendly Environment</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating A Better Community – We have brought the community together since 2005, for many different events. Our years of teaching since 1995 has been a learning experience for us while developing our working partnership and learning how to deal with a largely diverse and often transitional group of newcomers to the Craft.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">. Celebrating with this community - all the Sabbats, from Ostara to Yule and even forming our own Annual NYC Witches Masquerade Balls which began in 2005.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Working diligently with a great group of amazing people in the forming of The Wiccan Family Temple begiinning in 2005. Followed by The WFT Academy of Pagan Studies in 2007. Forming also, The NYC Pagan Council, to bring awareness to all Pagans of the many injustices and crossing of our civil rights. Despite us almost giving up on some of the many ideas we've had, we have persevered thus far.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· As such, we would like to have many Groups/Covens/Temples be involved in this in one form or another.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Networking and Bringing together a diverse number of people of varied Pagan Religions and Traditions coming together and networking with each other, forming a common bond and doing great things together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Reclaiming or just plain Claiming the right to Ownership of our Religion &amp; our Temple such as it is – As Witches we will create positive changes, among ourselves and in the world around us.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Open to solitaries, groups and covens, celebrating and experiencing the pagan holidays together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating opportunities for everyone on many levels by opening the space for all of our community as a place they will feel welcomed at all times to house many events, workshops or classes.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Setting an example in the community at large – Especially the publics perception.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Recognition and Our Reputation – We are a small temple in the New York City area, with a handful of committed individuals but we do have a place in the hearts of many. And thus we have a responsibility to the community at large and have earned our place within it.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Fun – The key ingredient in this plus the freedom to just be who we are among our own.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Dedication to each other and to those who will join us in the future</span></span><span style="color : black">. Commitment is the most vital factor to our success. We are each other's guides and teachers. We would all do well to encourage and emulate those qualities we admire and experience in ourselves and each other.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Work together</span></span><span style="color : black">. Ours is a path of action. To repeat an old phrase, either you cut bait, fish, or mend the nets, lines and boats, but everyone contributes to the best of their abilities.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Building and maintaining community</span></span><span style="color : black">. Community is best maintained when everyone in it knowingly participates in its process. As Alexander Hamilton said to Aaron Burr "My country, sir, right or wrong.

By liberty, we recognize that we are free to do what we want for good or ill, and thus we strive to fearlessly accept the consequences of our actions.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">So please do join us in this ground breaking quest to finally have a physical space that is a Pagan Temple in NYC, an actual Temple.

We are completely independant. Just like the message of limited government and keeping things local we resist centralized control of the Ron Paul Revolution. We report to no one. We are not affiliated with any other group. This means we do not take any instruction or direction from a regional or national entity of any kind. Any individual or group pushing their own national management, structure, political agendas other such nonsense over this meetup will be summarly asked to leave or kicked out of the group immediately. We have only one goal, to get Ron Paul elected as the next President of the United States!

As the organizer of some of the many pagan events in New York City, we know how difficult it can be to organize and run your many events.</span>   We will be the first to say that organizing a group, coven, Temple etc. is never easy. We began with 5 people to… I would say we have had as many as 300 at some of our events in the NYC area and still growing.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">There are so many fun and informative events in the New York in general to attend and most do not know of them.</span>  We hope that this can become the forum for all pagan groups, covens, temples to get support for all their many events.  Show them and us that we appreciate all their many efforts to provide a community for us to reach and celebrate with.  Think of the effort, monies, wisdom, strength of will and many man and woman hours put into presenting you with these events because it is their passion.  All of which without your support with attendance will eventually cease to exist. </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">Some Events are Pagan, Medieval, Renaissance etc. oriented and some are just plain old fun.

To do this, we pledge ourselves to these goals. We know our path is not an easy one, but we will gain what we invest.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="color : black">Try?

Celebrating with this community - all the Sabbats, from Ostara to Yule and even forming our own Annual NYC Witches Masquerade Balls which began in 2005.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Working diligently with a great group of amazing people in the forming of The Wiccan Family Temple begiinning in 2005. Followed by The WFT Academy of Pagan Studies in 2007. Forming also, The NYC Pagan Council, to bring awareness to all Pagans of the many injustices and crossing of our civil rights. Despite us almost giving up on some of the many ideas we've had, we have persevered thus far.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· As such, we would like to have many Groups/Covens/Temples be involved in this in one form or another.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Networking and Bringing together a diverse number of people of varied Pagan Religions and Traditions coming together and networking with each other, forming a common bond and doing great things together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Reclaiming or just plain Claiming the right to Ownership of our Religion &amp; our Temple such as it is – As Witches we will create positive changes, among ourselves and in the world around us.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Open to solitaries, groups and covens, celebrating and experiencing the pagan holidays together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating opportunities for everyone on many levels by opening the space for all of our community as a place they will feel welcomed at all times to house many events, workshops or classes.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Setting an example in the community at large – Especially the publics perception.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Recognition and Our Reputation – We are a small temple in the New York City area, with a handful of committed individuals but we do have a place in the hearts of many.

Our years of teaching since 1995 has been a learning experience for us while developing our working partnership and learning how to deal with a largely diverse and often transitional group of newcomers to the Craft.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">. Celebrating with this community - all the Sabbats, from Ostara to Yule and even forming our own Annual NYC Witches Masquerade Balls which began in 2005.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Working diligently with a great group of amazing people in the forming of The Wiccan Family Temple begiinning in 2005. Followed by The WFT Academy of Pagan Studies in 2007. Forming also, The NYC Pagan Council, to bring awareness to all Pagans of the many injustices and crossing of our civil rights. Despite us almost giving up on some of the many ideas we've had, we have persevered thus far.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· As such, we would like to have many Groups/Covens/Temples be involved in this in one form or another.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Networking and Bringing together a diverse number of people of varied Pagan Religions and Traditions coming together and networking with each other, forming a common bond and doing great things together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Reclaiming or just plain Claiming the right to Ownership of our Religion &amp; our Temple such as it is – As Witches we will create positive changes, among ourselves and in the world around us.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Open to solitaries, groups and covens, celebrating and experiencing the pagan holidays together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating opportunities for everyone on many levels by opening the space for all of our community as a place they will feel welcomed at all times to house many events, workshops or classes.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Setting an example in the community at large – Especially the publics perception.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Recognition and Our Reputation – We are a small temple in the New York City area, with a handful of committed individuals but we do have a place in the hearts of many.

As the organizer of some of the many pagan events in New York City, we know how difficult it can be to organize and run your many events.</span>   We will be the first to say that organizing a group, coven, Temple etc. is never easy. We began with 5 people to… I would say we have had as many as 300 at some of our events in the NYC area and still growing.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">There are so many fun and informative events in the New York in general to attend and most do not know of them.</span>  We hope that this can become the forum for all pagan groups, covens, temples to get support for all their many events.  Show them and us that we appreciate all their many efforts to provide a community for us to reach and celebrate with.  Think of the effort, monies, wisdom, strength of will and many man and woman hours put into presenting you with these events because it is their passion.  All of which without your support with attendance will eventually cease to exist. </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">Some Events are Pagan, Medieval, Renaissance etc. oriented and some are just plain old fun. To name a few:</span>  (do hope they do not mind )</strong></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>The Witches Masquerade Ball                                                                                                                      </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>The Medieval Festival                                                                                                                                      </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>The Annual NYC Witches Masquerade Bal                                                                                             </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>NY Pagan Expo                                                                                                                                               </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Long Island Beltaine                                                                                                                             </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Pagan Pride Project                                                                                                                                         </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>The Annual Beltane in Central Park                                                                                                   </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Beltaine: A Pagan Oydssey                                                                                                                </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Comic Con (oh yeah it’s fun)                                                                                                             </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color : #bb99e4"><strong><span>Wicked Faire</span></strong></span></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">OOOH MY, CAN WE ATTEND THEM ALL PLEASE!</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">We hope with this site that we can create this as one of the best resources for Pagans in general.</span>  As New Yorkers we like to find out about pagan events in the TriState area, National or International to attend.  </strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="color : black">We are a group of witches here to share many common interests and work together effectively towards a common goal. This group</span></em> <em><span style="color : black">can be structured in whatever way its leaders and members choose.</span></em></strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="color : black">To be a support, consciousness-raising, and religious and non-religious group or congregation all rolled into one...At the same time, it becomes an entity in itself, with a personality of its own.</span></em></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">We will always be welcoming, friendly, and inviting to all Wiccans, Witches, Druids etc. and other Neopagans.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">As of the present time we do not have what you would call a permanent place but we are definitely striving towards that, as are many of us that have formed a group, coven or community of their own.</span>  By taking this first step, in trying to establish that goal.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">Like any spell or prayer, you do the spell but you must also put in the work to achieve and make that spell come to fruition, hence WitchsFest USA.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">We have also created www.witchsfestusa.org where all pagan groups, covens, temples etc can have their events exposed to the pagan community at large for free:</span>  Sabbats, Esbats, Fund Raisers, Charities, (events only no classes) for the general support of the pagan community.  We only ask that in exchange we help promote one another, not compete, but rather assist each others groups/covens/temples in fostering the many amazing pagan communities around us.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">With the forming of this viable community, each one of us has chosen to make this dream a functional reality. To do this, we pledge ourselves to these goals. We know our path is not an easy one, but we will gain what we invest.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><em><span style="color : black">Try? There is no try. There is only Do or do not!</span></em> <span style="color : black">--Yoda</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">For this reason we would like to build WitchsFest USA into becoming one of the 'big festivals’ as one of our Fund Raisers that everyone looks forward to going to every year.</span> <span style="color : black">One where they can have fun, improve the perception of the general public and in the interim we can also raise funds for our ‘Building/Space Fund’. Real Estate in New York City being VERY expensive so it may take us some time and great effort, but with all of our intents we will make it manifest.</span>  YOU WILL BECOME OUR SUPPORT GROUP as we all strive to achieve a common goal and make great things together.</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">Additional reasons:</span>                          </strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating a Family Friendly Pagan &amp; Non-Pagan Friendly Environment</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating A Better Community – We have brought the community together since 2005, for many different events. Our years of teaching since 1995 has been a learning experience for us while developing our working partnership and learning how to deal with a largely diverse and often transitional group of newcomers to the Craft.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">. Celebrating with this community - all the Sabbats, from Ostara to Yule and even forming our own Annual NYC Witches Masquerade Balls which began in 2005.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Working diligently with a great group of amazing people in the forming of The Wiccan Family Temple begiinning in 2005. Followed by The WFT Academy of Pagan Studies in 2007. Forming also, The NYC Pagan Council, to bring awareness to all Pagans of the many injustices and crossing of our civil rights. Despite us almost giving up on some of the many ideas we've had, we have persevered thus far.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· As such, we would like to have many Groups/Covens/Temples be involved in this in one form or another.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Networking and Bringing together a diverse number of people of varied Pagan Religions and Traditions coming together and networking with each other, forming a common bond and doing great things together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Reclaiming or just plain Claiming the right to Ownership of our Religion &amp; our Temple such as it is – As Witches we will create positive changes, among ourselves and in the world around us.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Open to solitaries, groups and covens, celebrating and experiencing the pagan holidays together.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Creating opportunities for everyone on many levels by opening the space for all of our community as a place they will feel welcomed at all times to house many events, workshops or classes.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Setting an example in the community at large – Especially the publics perception.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Recognition and Our Reputation – We are a small temple in the New York City area, with a handful of committed individuals but we do have a place in the hearts of many. And thus we have a responsibility to the community at large and have earned our place within it.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">· Fun – The key ingredient in this plus the freedom to just be who we are among our own.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Dedication to each other and to those who will join us in the future</span></span><span style="color : black">. Commitment is the most vital factor to our success. We are each other's guides and teachers. We would all do well to encourage and emulate those qualities we admire and experience in ourselves and each other.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Work together</span></span><span style="color : black">. Ours is a path of action. To repeat an old phrase, either you cut bait, fish, or mend the nets, lines and boats, but everyone contributes to the best of their abilities.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Building and maintaining community</span></span><span style="color : black">. Community is best maintained when everyone in it knowingly participates in its process. As Alexander Hamilton said to Aaron Burr "My country, sir, right or wrong. When it is right, keep it that way; when it is wrong, correct it."</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="color : black">Seek to influence events to bring liberty, love and enlightenment</span></span><span style="color : black">. By liberty, we recognize that we are free to do what we want for good or ill, and thus we strive to fearlessly accept the consequences of our actions.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">So please do join us in this ground breaking quest to finally have a physical space that is a Pagan Temple in NYC, an actual Temple. OH YEAH!</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : black">So Mote It Be!</span>    <a href="http://www.witchsfestusa.org/"><span style="color : black">www.witchsfestusa.org</span></a>.</strong></p>
10064226 1223492 <p>The purpose of this meetup is to provide a fixed place and time for people wanting to have informal chats (causeries) in French. The group is an extention of one that met at B&amp;N Chelsea for 8+ years before that bookstore closed. All levels of French proficiency are welcome. This is not an instructional/teaching group. The meetings are in the SONY atrium on Madison between 56 and 55 St. Moveable chairs and tables facilitate the formation of small discussion groups. The closest subways are at 5th/53, Lex/59 and 5th/60. Facilities include a Starbucks and washrooms.</p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color : #333333">We are looking for YOU and more volunteers to serve in administrative leadership capacities in order to create an active team to keep our French speaking group going ahead!</span></p> <p><span style="color : #333333"> </span></p>

We welcome Event &amp; Group Sponsors who need some publicity for a great price!</p> <p>Why not become a Hike Leader?</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Monthly Photo Contest:</strong></p> <p>We are having a Monthly Photo Contest. You have 1 month to upload your favorite photo. At the end of the month, the Assist Organizers will pick the top 12. We will then have a poll for voting on these 12. The members will be able to rate each picture from 1 to 10 rating. The photo with the highest ratings at the end of this month will win. This photo will then be used as the open page picture for following month. The only thing you receive are bragging rights.</p> <p>Upload January Photos Here: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/</a><br> Please name the photo and leave a comment about the photo.</p> <p>So why not amaze the rest of the members with you photography skills?</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>100 Miles Club and 200 Miles Club:</strong></p> <p>Are you looking for a Goal to reach? We have two clubs for you. You join the 100 Miles Club when you reach 100 Miles hiking a year with this group only (Chicago Hiking, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group). You join the 200 Miles Club when you reach 200 Miles hiking a year with any Meetup Groups (Windy City Hikers, this group, etc.). Your Meetup Names will be posted in the About Section in this group.</p> <p>Let’s start counting those miles!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Dues and Fees:</strong></p> <p>There are no membership dues to be part of this group. For prepay events, we will sometimes add up to three dollars, normally 1 to 2, to the payment to help out with the Meetup.com monthly fees.</p> <p>For other events, example hikes, we suggest a 1 or 2 dollar donation at the start of the event. This is totally voluntary. No records will be kept for who donates and who doesn’t.</p> <p>If you want to make a voluntary donation. Go to the top of this page and click on "Pay Online". Enter the amount you would like to donate. Donate any amount you like. This will be paid with Paypal.</p> <p>We would personally prefer if people would donate their time as an Assistant Organizer or Hike Leader versus making a donation of money. Any help is very much appreciated.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p>Other Recommended Outdoors Meetup Groups: If events are full on this group, why not see what these groups are up to.</p> <p> </p> <p>The NW Burbs Camping Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/</a></p> <p>Southwest Suburbs Sports, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/</a></p> <p>Chicago Camping &amp; Outdoors Adventure Group</p> <p><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoCampers/">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoCampers/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Please support Outdoors Meetup Groups!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p>See you on the trail!</p> <p>Kevin</p> <p>PS: Tell a Friend about us!</p> <p>Come find us on Facebook:<br> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gid=251355911863#/group.php?v=info&amp;gid=251355911863" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi</a>...</p>

When the senses are unclouded by the mind’s interpretations, a natural clarity of perception occurs with accompanying spontaneous feelings of joy, inner calmness and connection.</p> <p>Diksha works by awakening Kundalini, a latent spiritual energy located at the base of the spine. This creates a gradual shift in consciousness, balancing the body’s natural healing energies and attuning the brain to higher levels of awareness. It helps quiet the overactive thinking centers of the brain, mainly in the parietal lobes and stimulates the underactive frontal lobes.</p> <p>Diksha neither requires practicing a particular way of living nor is an initiation into following a new path. It does not bind one to any philosophy or ideology. It is not a concept, nor a religion, nor does it promulgate any required beliefs. Each recipient brings to the experience their own concepts of the Ultimate, be they religious, scientific, profane or divine.”</p> <p> </p>

The special little dog that seems to rule the city! You are everywhere and you love to get together and play! So we are pleased to announce a new meetup group called "Yorkie Nation". Whether you're a Yorkie with papers, or a yorkie whose background is mixed with some other breed, you are welcome to join our group! We'd like to get together and discuss everything Yorkie! Let's show our pride and gather the biggest, the brightest, and the most enthusiastic doggy meetup group. We will keep you up-to-date on NYC doggy events. We'd love to have huge Yorkie showings at all dog-friendly events! We will host large and small-scale Yorkie outings throughout the year -- everything from brunches, to Yappy hours, to play dates. Socializing your dog is very important for a happy and healthy dog! Please join us in our Yorkie Nation!
100650402 5873872 <p>Hi all-- anyone with kids near our son's age (just turned 2) interested in coming over on Sunday? Hoping to get some 2-3 year olds into the group as we'd love to meet some families for ongoing playdates and thought this would be a good way to start the process.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Melanie</p> <p>This group is for any type of parent looking to make lasting friendships and a sense of community with other parents in Park Slope and surrounding neighborhoods. We will have play dates in our homes and at the playground, meet ups in restaurants and bars. We will also have day trips and holiday parties. We would like our members to be as active as possible posting meet ups for child friendly activities! During the week and on weekends. All ages groups welcome.</p>
10065132 1342946 <p><b>***DAY AND TIME CHANGE***</b></p> <p>A Spring walk in our neighbor, New Jersey!</p> <p>George Washington Bridge and Palisades/Long Path Walk</p> <p>SATURDAY, May 16, 2009 at 12:00pm.</p> <p><br/>Meet at the corner of 178th St. and Fort Washington Ave. (A train to 175th St., or Ft. Washington Shuttle Bus to 175th St.)</p> <p>An easy walk across the George Washington Bridge and up the Palisades on the Long Path.</p> <p>This will be a round trip walk, maybe 3 hours.</p> <p>We'll start out at 178th St. and Fort Washington Ave. and walk over the George Washington Bridge. It's actually a great walk with amazing views of the city and Jersey. The walkway is wide, and there are heavy railings on both sides of you. If you've never done the walk, and are a little apprehensive because of the heights, please email me (Peter) I can send a few photos that will give an idea of what it's like to walk across.</p> <p>Once over the Bridge we'll turn north and head up the Long Path. The Long Path is a hiking trail which begins right near the GWB in Fort Lee Historic Park, and heads 350 miles north to Albany.<br/>We'll walk about 2 miles north to Allison Park, stop for lunch and then head back. (The walk to Allison Park is fairly short - the distance is like walking from the GWB to the Cloisters)</p> <p>The walk takes us on the Long Path, through woods in New Jersey along an easy trail. It's easy walking, no hills and just some stairs at the beginning. Running shoes are fine, I'd not recommend open sandals however.</p> <p>It's a great trail through the woods, with occasional views out on the Hudson along the trail. Lots of birds and chipmunks, and maybe a glimpse of a red-tailed hawk or an osprey flying over the Hudson.</p> <p>We'll stop for lunch at Allison Park (bathrooms, water fountains). At the Park there are great views of the Hudson, the Bridge, the Heights and Inwood across the River.</p> <p>After lunch we'll head back down the Long Path and back over the GWB. You can catch the A at 175th St, or the infernal shuttle bus if it's running that weekend.</p> <p>Dress for the weather - layers are good if it's cool out. Sunscreen (if it's sunny), a hat, a bottle of water and lunch. Part of the Long Path parallels the Palisades Parkway, so at one point you can leave the trail and stop at a Sunoco station to pick up another bottle of water or snacks if you like.</p> <p>**high wind or bad weather will cancel the hike. I'll send out updates a few days before the hike**</p> <p>$2 meetup fee to cover monthly costs</p> <p>Northern Manhattan Outside, or NoMO for short, is a group for New Yorkers to enjoy whatever gets us out into the great outdoors of Manhattan. NoMO is both a social group for northern Manhattanites and others to get together in a relaxed venue and an 'outdoors' group, for all New Yorkers who enjoy hiking, birdwatching, stargazing, kayaking, especially in and around northern Manhattan.<br> Many of the activities are designed to bring together northern Manhattan, New Jersey and Bronx neighbors to enjoy the parks and trails up here in Washington Heights, Inwood, the Bronx and Jersey. Other activities may include day hikes upstate in Harriman or Bear Mt. Park, a bald eagle watch on the Hudson in Manhattan, hiking in Cold Spring, bird watching, coyote watching in Central Park, excursions to Wave Hill, the Bronx Zoo, the Bronx Botanical Gardens or the Brooklyn Gardens (Hanami in the Spring!).</p> <p>Both the area and the community of upper Manhattan are the main focus of this group, however all are most welcome!</p>

Ever since my journey trekking about Louisiana I've been repeatedly disappointed by restaurant after restaurant claiming to be a Cajun / Creole restaurant.</p> <p>I was almost giving up hope that there was anything relatively close to authentic Cajun outside of the Louisiana state lines.</p> <p>Although a little bit on the steeper side in terms of price, the portions are large enough with taste that is good enough to justify the prices. It's great if you have a few people and are able to order a few dishes to share. The alligator and smoked pork sausage is an excellent appetizer and it definitely gets the job done in peaking that appetite for the entrees.</p> <p>Decor is dark and cozy and makes for a great place to spend your evening with a great group of people."</p> <p>Menu: <a href="http://thedeltagrill.com/page/nzv9/Dinner_Menu.html"><a href="http://thedeltagrill" class="linkified">http://thedeltagrill</a>....</a></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/2dudqp.jpg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px"></p> <p><span style="color : #00bf60 ; text-decoration : underline">I8 FOOD BLOG:</span> This is were me and my authors/editors drop our wisdom with reviews, eatymology, recipes, etc!<br> Our new food blog is up! <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.i8nyc.com" target="_blank">http://www.i8nyc.com</a></p> <p><span style="color : #ff0000 ; text-decoration : underline">TWITTER @ I8AND8:</span> Every Deal will be posted there.

100656312 3939112 <p>"<b>The first big festival for beer specialties and craft brewers in Germany"</b></p> <p>Germany's most interesting beer festival is taking place for the second time in München in March. Although better known as the home of the Oktoberfest, the Braukunst-Live festival focuses on craft beers brewed in Germany and around the world:</p> <p><a href="http://www.braukunst-live.com/aussteller/"><a href="http://www.braukunst-live.com/aussteller/" class="linkified">http://www.braukunst-live.com/aussteller/</a></a></p> <p>Expect to find brewers not afraid to experiment with style and in particular the newest pale ales and porters/stouts to be brewed by German brewers.</p> <p>As everyone has a different schedule / budget, <b>you'll need to sort out your own travel and accommodation</b>, but there should be enough interest to justify a group from Berlin to spend a weekend sampling fine beers!</p> <p> </p> <p><b>FESTIVAL-ÖFFNUNGSZEITEN:</b></p> <p>Freitag,[masked]:[masked] Uhr Samstag,[masked]:[masked] Uhr Sonntag,[masked]:[masked] Uhr  </p> <p><b>PRICES:</b></p> <p>Erhältlich vor Ort an der Tageskasse</p> <p>1-Tagesticket: 20 EUR 2-Tagesticket: 35 EUR (nur Tageskasse) 3-Tagesticket: 45 EUR (nur Tageskasse)  </p> <p> </p> <p>Since most people will travel down on Friday evening, the group will meet at the Main Entrance, on Saturday, at 14:00.</p> <p> </p> <p>This group was founded in May 2012 and is open to anyone who is genuinely interested in the art of beer brewing and beers crafted to taste good, rather than to sell to the widest audience. The focus of this group is to promote beers brewed by microbreweries, rather than on large, mass-market beers brewed by large-scale industrial breweries.</p> <p> </p> <p>Berlin Craft Beer also has a blog that you can follow at: http://www.berlincraftbeer.com</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The purpose of this Meetup group will be to:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Taste beers from microbreweries of Berlin &amp; Germany</li> <li>Have beer tastings at other craft beer venues around Berlin</li> <li>Allow members to swap their favourite bottled beers, perhaps from abroad</li> <li>Visit craft beer festivals as a group</li> </ol> <p> </p> <p><span style="color : #ff0000"><strong>Please note</strong>: Since there are several Berlin meetup groups already with a specific focus on going out / drinking / socialising, it should be noted that the focus of this group is craft beer and brewing, so beer will always be the center of attention, rather than socialising.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color : #ff0000">When applying please take the time to answer the questions.</span></p> <p> </p>
100656432 6498232 <p>This time we will discuss the "Eulogy on Abraham."</p> <p>The related Biblical passages are as follows:<br/>Hebrews 11:8-19, Numbers 20:11, Genesis 35:22-23 and 37:3</p> <p>If you're reading from the Hong and Hong edition, you may also wish to read the related selections from the Hong and Hong supplement.</p> <p>t doesn't really matter which translation of Fear and Trembling you are using, nor does it matter which version of the Bible you read. I will be using the Hong and Hong translation of Fear and Trembling and an electronic version of of the ESV with Strong's numbers which provides the Hebrew and the Greek.</p> <p>Welcome! This group is for people interested in reading and discussing philosophy, theology, their intersections, and their divergences. This group is open to people with or without a background in philosophy or theology. Our general task is to attempt to understand interesting and challenging texts in the history of philosophy with an emphasis on key texts in the "Continental" canon. Our theological inquiries will primarily be concerned with finding ways in which these philosophical texts provide tools for substantive, novel Biblical exegesis. This group is open to anyone interested in completing the readings, regardless of religious disposition.</p>

These children either belong to families that are apart of poverty stricken homes that are growing with their parents through a shelter system or they are<br/>receiving social assistance from the state. Through this fundraiser we want to raise funds so that these children will be able to have the experience of being with a summer camp, learning technology, history (through visiting museums), and advance on reading, writing, and math during the summer. I know<br/>that these children should not be deprived of this experience, just because of their economic situation.</p> <p>So please come out and support!

During each round you will speak with one person in the room that you do not know at all or do not know well. The only rules to the conversation are that you don't talk about your business and you don't exchange business cards until the end of the conversation. Now I'm sure a lot of you are thinking - Isn't business networking about my business?  The answer is yes, but we have seen time and time again that the most successful relationships in life are those that are based on a connection, a common interest or interests, shared values or all of the above.  So the purpose here is to find some common ground.  This could be as simple as talking about the Yankees, an interest in art, family values, your kids and so on.  Still have questions on how this will work, feel free to call me[masked]-6618.</p> <p>8:25 -  8:30PM Free Raffle Giveaway</p> <p>8:30 -10:00PM Continued Informal &amp; Facilitated Networking</p> <p>Vendors are welcome but tables and gift bag placements are limited, please contact us at <b><a href="mailto:[masked]">[masked]</a></b> for pricing and to reserve your spot.</p> <p>This New York City Business Networking Group is where business networking begins.

100662882 1431428 <p>When a person falls behind on their mortgage payment, banks will initiate foreclosure on the homeowners. Once the bank becomes the owner they would then list the property with a realtor and try to sell the property for as close to market value as they can get.</p> <p>But what about when a homeowner doesn’t pay for their property taxes, what happens there?</p> <p>When a person owns a property in a Tax Deed state and they are behind on their taxes, the town initiates foreclosure. Once the town takes ownership of the property, they will then put the property into a public auction where you can attend and buy the property for literally 10 to 30 cents to the dollar. The reason for this is because the town just wants to collect the taxes owed to them, and nothing more.</p> <p>Along with this, these properties are free and clear and these sales go on every day in 22 of the 50 states around the country.</p> <p><b>Come and learn:</b><br/>- What States are Tax Deed states ( PA &amp; NY are 2 of them )<br/>- Where to get a list of Tax Deed Properties<br/>- How to do due diligence on the properties so you don't buy a headache<br/>- Secrets on how to bid at the auction to win<br/>- and so much more!</p> <p><b>CAPACITY:</b><br/>Seating is limited to only <b>30 people</b>, so make sure you claim your seat now!<br/><b><br/>ADMISSION:<br/></b>- <b>$30</b> for <a href="http://www.tristatemixer.com/page/tsm-gold-pass"><b>TSM GOLD PASS</b></a> members but RSVP is required.*<br/><b>- $40</b> for Non-Member but RSVP is required.<br/>Walk-ins without RSVP'ing will be charged <b>$50,</b> provided that seating is available.</p> <p><a href="http://www.eventbrite.com/event/5284060768?ref=ebtnebtckt"><a href="http://www.eventbrite.com/custombutton?eid=5284060768" class="linkified">http://www.eventbrite.com/custombutton?eid=5284060768</a></a></p> <p>*<b><a href="http://www.tristatemixer.com/page/tsm-gold-pass">TSM GOLD PASS</a></b> members please email us at <a href="mailto:[masked]">[masked]</a> for your discount code.</p> <p>Go here for information on how to become a <b><a href="http://www.tristatemixer.com/page/tsm-gold-pass">TSM GOLD PASS</a></b> member today.</p> <p>Stock &amp; Bond Investors, Real Estate Investors, all welcome!<br> <br> Whether you are just starting out in the world of investing or are working on raising your next regulation fund, the New York Stock &amp; Bond Investors Association can help you make more and while having fun doing it.<br> <br> Established in 2013, <strong>New York Stock &amp; Bonds Association</strong> is an organization serving the community of the greater New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania area.<br> <br> <strong>New York Stock &amp; Bonds Association</strong> members include, but are not limited to:<br> <br> <strong>Real Estate Investors:</strong> Attorneys, Realtors, Brokers, Bankers, Mortgage Reps, Wholesalers, Cash Buyers, Hard Money Lenders, Rehabbers, Multi-Family Buyers, Hard &amp; Private Money Lenders, Portfolio Managers, and so much more!</p> <p><strong>Equity &amp; Bond Investors:</strong> Stock, Day, Bond, Futures, Currency, Forex, and Options Trader, Hedge Fund &amp; Private Equity Managers and so much more!<br> <br> We invite you to learn more about <strong>New York Stock &amp; Bonds Association</strong> by joining us at our next general meeting.

100663312 375638 <p>When a person falls behind on their mortgage payment, banks will initiate foreclosure on the homeowners. Once the bank becomes the owner they would then list the property with a realtor and try to sell the property for as close to market value as they can get.</p> <p>But what about when a homeowner doesn’t pay for their property taxes, what happens there?</p> <p>When a person owns a property in a Tax Deed state and they are behind on their taxes, the town initiates foreclosure. Once the town takes ownership of the property, they will then put the property into a public auction where you can attend and buy the property for literally 10 to 30 cents to the dollar. The reason for this is because the town just wants to collect the taxes owed to them, and nothing more.</p> <p>Along with this, these properties are free and clear and these sales go on every day in 22 of the 50 states around the country.</p> <p><b>Come and learn:</b><br/>- What States are Tax Deed states ( PA &amp; NY are 2 of them )<br/>- Where to get a list of Tax Deed Properties<br/>- How to do due diligence on the properties so you don't buy a headache<br/>- Secrets on how to bid at the auction to win<br/>- and so much more!</p> <p><b>CAPACITY:</b><br/>Seating is limited to only <b>30 people</b>, so make sure you claim your seat now!<br/><b><br/>ADMISSION:<br/></b>- <b>$30</b> for <a href="http://www.tristatemixer.com/page/tsm-gold-pass"><b>TSM GOLD PASS</b></a> members but RSVP is required.*<br/><b>- $40</b> for Non-Member but RSVP is required.<br/>Walk-ins without RSVP'ing will be charged <b>$50,</b> provided that seating is available.</p> <p><a href="http://www.eventbrite.com/event/5284060768?ref=ebtnebtckt"><a href="http://www.eventbrite.com/custombutton?eid=5284060768" class="linkified">http://www.eventbrite.com/custombutton?eid=5284060768</a></a></p> <p>*<b><a href="http://www.tristatemixer.com/page/tsm-gold-pass">TSM GOLD PASS</a></b> members please email us at <a href="mailto:[masked]">[masked]</a> for your discount code.</p> <p>Go here for information on how to become a <b><a href="http://www.tristatemixer.com/page/tsm-gold-pass">TSM GOLD PASS</a></b> member today.</p> <p>Real Estate Investors Of Long Island is a subsidiary of the <strong>TriState Mixer (TSM) : The Ultimate Real Estate Club!<br> <br> </strong>Whether you are just starting out in real estate investing, or are working on deal number one-hundred, <strong>TriState Mixer</strong> can help you make more and have fun doing it.

100663452 6142972 <p>Meeting I: (Composition)</p> <p> </p> <p>Book: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Photographers-Eye-Composition-Design-Digital/dp/0240809343">The Photographer's Eye by Michael Freeman</a></p> <p>Reading: Chapter 1: pages 20 - 31</p> <p>At home before the meeting:</p> <p>upload and email photos from last composition meetup (Jan 19th) read the section mentioned above. think of possible exercises we can do to illustrate the points made in the book At the meeting:</p> <p>review photos from last meetup. discuss the section we read settle upon three exercises photowalk: we'll go out and do the exercises. I will check out the Citi building as a venue and will let you know where we will be meeting.</p> <p> </p> <p>Manhattan is our paradise garden with ample photographic opportunities. This group is for amateur photographers who would like to improve their skills through practice and sustained self education. Why do some photographs work while some do not? How should we correctly expose a photograph? I am an amateur myself, and do not know all the answers. However, much of the enjoyment of photography is the thinking process that goes on before the shutter is clicked. We will read books, practice and most importantly teach each other as we learn. And Manhattan in all its variety will be our playground.</p> <p>My intent is to put together a group of regulars, and together we will be set ourselves on a path of self education in photography. This group is for you if (a) you have the dedication and time to devote to photography, (b) have a digital camera with manual settings, (c) open to constructive criticism of your work. The current plan is:</p> <ul> <li>One meeting will be to discuss composition. I have chosen Michael Freeman's series: The Photographer's Eye. We will discuss one chapter, and take/share photographs illustrating the materials.</li> <li>The second meeting will be to discuss exposure. This is much easier to learn, so in the future we will probably have a combination of other digital or technical issues like Lightroom.</li> <li>I'd also like to put together informal photowalks over some weekends to actually go out and practice what we learn. These plans will evolve as we come together as a group.</li> </ul> <p>So if you are a dedicated amateur with the time to devote and looking for similar minded people,welcome and see you all at the next meeting.</p>

Well, some of us get together to longboard, inline skate, bike, play beach vball, and most importantly PARTY!! Everyone's welcome!

Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

100669942 6142972 <p>Meeting II (Exposure)</p> <p> </p> <p>to do at home before meeting:</p> <p>go through basic exposure notes that I will post online think of three exercises that we can do at the meeting:</p> <p>discuss the exposure techniques. agree on the exercises photowalk: perform the exercises.  </p> <p><b>you might want to bring a tripod for this meeting.</b></p> <p>Manhattan is our paradise garden with ample photographic opportunities. This group is for amateur photographers who would like to improve their skills through practice and sustained self education. Why do some photographs work while some do not? How should we correctly expose a photograph? I am an amateur myself, and do not know all the answers. However, much of the enjoyment of photography is the thinking process that goes on before the shutter is clicked. We will read books, practice and most importantly teach each other as we learn. And Manhattan in all its variety will be our playground.</p> <p>My intent is to put together a group of regulars, and together we will be set ourselves on a path of self education in photography. This group is for you if (a) you have the dedication and time to devote to photography, (b) have a digital camera with manual settings, (c) open to constructive criticism of your work. The current plan is:</p> <ul> <li>One meeting will be to discuss composition. I have chosen Michael Freeman's series: The Photographer's Eye. We will discuss one chapter, and take/share photographs illustrating the materials.</li> <li>The second meeting will be to discuss exposure. This is much easier to learn, so in the future we will probably have a combination of other digital or technical issues like Lightroom.</li> <li>I'd also like to put together informal photowalks over some weekends to actually go out and practice what we learn. These plans will evolve as we come together as a group.</li> </ul> <p>So if you are a dedicated amateur with the time to devote and looking for similar minded people,welcome and see you all at the next meeting.</p>

10067354 799929 <p>For two years, a small man sits quietly on a park bench. People walk by, lost in their thoughts. One day someone asks him a question. In the weeks that follow there are more people and more questions. Word spreads that the man is a "mystic", and has discovered something that brings peace and meaning into our lives.</p> <p>It sounds like fiction, but today that man, Eckhart Tolle, is known world-wide for his teachings on spiritual enlightenment through the power of the present moment.</p> <p>In The Flowering of Human Consciousness you will come face to face with Eckhart Tolle, for a transformational meeting with this respected teacher and author of the international best seller:<br/>"The Power of Now".</p> <p>In clear, simple language, Tolle explains the process of entering this "miraculous" state of presence that is always available to us. We are lost, he says, in the maze of our own compulsive thoughts. Only by ceasing this "mental noise" can we dissolve our egos, and enable the "flowering of a new consciousness" to proceed - a transformation that cannot be understood with the mind. From guidance about stress and career, to insights into the nature of the ego and the delusion of time, here is a far-reaching session that documents the vision of this modern spiritual teacher, and the truth he brings.</p> <p>More than 20 years have passed since Eckhart Tolle answered his first question on that park bench. While his audience has grown, his message remains the same: that it is possible to stop struggling in your life, and find joy and fulfillment in this moment, and no other -<br/>through The Flowering of Human Consciousness.</p> <p><br/>The meeting will start promptly at 6:45pm Please do not arrive later than 7:00</p> <p>Present moment awareness is a powerful way to find inner peace, cultivate self-knowledge, practice acceptance, and have more FUN ... even through the challenges of everyday CITY life!</p> <p>At the <strong><em>New York Eckhart Tolle Meetup</em></strong>, we aim to cultivate a healthy, happy, and stress-free way of life by helping people experience and celebrate <em><strong>the power of now</strong></em>.</p> <p><br> <img src="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/e/9/c/event_100811932.jpeg" width="152" height="118" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left">Our guide in this journey is Eckhart Tolle, known for his inspiring best sellers <span style="text-decoration : underline"><em>The Power of Now</em></span> and <em><span style="text-decoration : underline">A New Earth</span></em>.</p> <p>At our gatherings, we don't "teach" or "interpret" Eckhart's teachings. Instead, we use them as a starting point for a <em><strong>journey of self discovery</strong></em>.</p> <p>Typically, our meetings begin with time to MEET &amp; GREET. We continue by sharing a relaxing guided MEDITATION. We then listen to selections from Eckhart's CDs or watch sections of his DVDs. We end our meetings with a casual conversation about the teachings and our they relate to our own life transformations.</p> <p><em><strong>We invite you to join us if you'd like to discover inner peace and joy, experience the power of now, and make new friends along the way.</strong></em></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/5/5/8/event_100817752.jpeg" width="54" height="81" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left"><strong><a href="http://www.meetup.com/LivingWithTolle-NYC/pages/About_Leo/">Follow this link to learn</a> more about LEO, the Group Organizer and facilitator</strong></p> <p><strong>Scroll down to see our upcoming meetups.</strong></p> <p><strong>Follow us on Facebook.</strong></p> <p><strong>Join us for inspiration, love, and the Power of Now!<br> </strong></p>
100674412 1387415 <p>*hi all!  please note that this brunch will be rescheduled for a later date!  thank you!*</p> <p> </p> <p>hi fellow guitarists!</p> <p>Is your music making you money?  If it is, could it be more?</p> <p> </p> <p>Why am I asking this?  Since I've released my album, friends have called me for advice on getting their careers to the next level.  I'm saddened that many people feel a sense of resignation about ever being able to "make it", or that they're depending on some fantasy manager or record label to create their career for them.  I know that it is possible and it can make you very happy to live your dream!!!  I don't have a label, or manager, or fancy connections... but I'm working with a business coach to train my business skills, just like I learned my guitar skills from a guitar teacher. Ultimately, my experience has been that we have the power to create our music careers ourselves with skills we already have, if we just understand how to make money.</p> <p> </p> <p>I'm extremely grateful for the path I'm on now, but as many of you know, I had to learn the bitter way, by experience.  As I'm speaking with more and more musicians, I'm realizing how grossly unfair many of you, like me, have been treated.  The solution is to get great business training now to those who want to go further with their music as soon as possible.</p> <p> </p> <p>I'm connecting our group with Diane Bliss, my business coach who has already done wonders for my professional career.  She has changed many negative views I used to have about money and business, and replaced them with the knowledge of how to be my own best advocate.  The result is that I'm embracing my first international TV interview, my first tour, and am able to fully pursue my passion.</p> <p> </p> <p>We'll meet this Sunday at Sidewalk Café for our first ever event to connect musicians with professional business coaches!  Because I'm asking two extremely successful, international business coaches to come and share their expertise with our group, I'm also asking $10 for the event to secure your RSVP.  It does not cover the cost of food/drink, but Sidewalk Cafe is very reasonably priced.</p> <p> </p> <p>We'll also set up a one-year program to train musicians to move their careers forward.  If you know someone who is ready to have a professional music career and could just use the business training to get there, please invite them to this brunch!</p> <p> </p> <p>Please contact me if you have any questions at [masked] and[masked]</p> <p> </p> <p>I'm really excited about this event and am looking forward to seeing you there!!!</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Guitar lovers and guitarists - welcome to the NYC Guitar Group! </p> <p>The NYC Guitar Group is for everyone and everything guitar- to bring us all together as a guitar community: guitarists, guitar students, guitar teachers, guitar makers, guitar sellers, guitar technicians, songwriters, composers, guitar managers, and everyone who loves the sound of the guitar.  This group is for you.</p> <p>Even if you've never held a guitar before, come join us and discover a beautiful instrument!</p> <p>Our mission is to bring the whole guitar community together- to make each member stronger by providing opportunites to play, learn, and listen to great music.  We are more than individual guitarists playing alone- we are the NYC Guitar Group- a network of talented, encouraging, and supportive people, all united by music.</p> <p>We are here to play out loud- together.  We hope that you'll enjoy the NYC Guitar Group!</p> <p> </p>

Your challenge is to create and maintain interest in a complex product portfolio. You’ve got a good foundation –– industry-leading products, strong company reputation, a well-crafted and promoted brand –– yet you’re struggling to move the needle on sales.</p> <p>Sound familiar?</p> <p>Five years ago, this was the situation Molex faced. The multibillion-dollar company, which manufactures electronic interconnect products, operates in an extremely competitive Industry with many global rivals. To remain a leader, market growth is essential. So in 2008, Molex set out to better connect with prospects. To transform customer data into marketing intelligence. To keep the sale cycle short and the pipeline full.</p> <p>In this presentation, Brian Krause, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Molex, explains how he and his team tackled demand generation –– the art and science of developing, nurturing, and maintaining buying interest in your products and services.</p> <p>If you’ve dug into the topic of demand generation, you know it’s complex –– a huge discipline with many moving parts. But rather than be overwhelmed, Krause and his team decided to focus on what they could reasonably achieve. They identified five “must-haves” to get their efforts off the ground and position the project for success.</p> <p>The Molex approach includes: multi-touch, integrated lead generation efforts; a marketing automation platform; robust lead nurturing tactics; comprehensive metrics; and continuous campaign optimization.</p> <p>The results have been an all-around win. Smarter, more targeted content that enhances customer interactions. A clearer understanding of marketing ROI. Closer, more influential relationships with prospects and customers. And, of course, more closed sales.</p> <p>Don’t miss this opportunity to learn –– firsthand –– how a $3.5-billion company successfully demystified demand generation. You’ll not only get real-world advice you can apply to your own organizations, but a roadmap for achieving what so many of us want: Constant sales revenue in a constantly changing world.</p> <p>ABOUT BRIAN KRAUSE Brian has been working in the Interconnect World for over 30 years, with the last 29 years for Molex Incorporated in various Marketing and Sales positions. In his current position as Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Molex, Brian is responsible for Global Marketing and Communications, which includes the Molex Brand, Molex's Web site, Advertising, Public Relations, as well as the Commercialization and Promotion of Molex's products globally.</p> <p>Brian's Global MARCOM organization promotes Molex to key audiences in major industries through trade shows and customer seminars, advertising, electronic promotions, search words, e-newsletters, product campaigns, public relations, and multimedia productions. The Global Product Commercialization organization is responsible for working with product managers to develop promotion plans and using cost-effective commercialization tactics to meet the marketing needs for each of Molex's sales channels. These tactics include product release packages, web publishing, the "Team Molex" audio conference calls, product sample kits and content for newsletters and promotions.</p> <p>BMA Chicago is the Business Marketing Association’s single largest chapter, serving over 520 business-marketing professionals through professional development, networking events and programs.

Do you like African pop music or are curious to know more about it? Then come to our African Soul Jam Meetup events, where you can socialize and dance with other music enthusiasts who are friendly and international in styles.</p> <p>Unfamiliar with modern African rhythms? Imagine beats that get your head nodding, your hips swaying, and your feet tapping, even if you don’t understand what the lyrics mean! New York City’s nightlife is vibrant and diverse, but African music is surprisingly lacking. African Soul Jam parties bring world-class African music to some of the city's trendy night spots. Our live DJs spin contemporary, great rhythms spanning the African continent, from Dakar to Madagascar, Cairo to Cape Town. We also feature occasional live performances.</p> <p>At African Soul Jam, you will hear live DJs' seamless mix of upbeat tunes in Africa's popular genres, including Afrobeat, Soukous, Hiplife, Coupé-Décalé, Naija, Azonto, Bongo, Makossa, Kwaito, Azonto, Kolazouk, Mapouka &amp; many more! You won't hear these rhythmic blends of great jams ANYWHERE ELSE in the city!</p> <p>African Soul Jam is NOT a run-of-the-mill club gig. We are passionate about spreading a positive image of Africa, connecting like-minded music lovers, and having FUN in the process. You’ll be a good fit for our Meetup if you find yourself in at least ONE of the following categories:</p> <ul> <li>Love culture</li> <li>Want fun &amp; a good time</li> <li>Equal-opportunity dancer</li> <li>Energetic and adventurous</li> <li>Enjoy Global dance vibes or World Music</li> <li>Like to socialize, make friends, or network</li> <li>Spontaneous, open-minded, or well-rounded</li> <li>Friend of Africa, non-African, or African Diaspora</li> <li>Want to get out of same-old, same-old &amp; try a new thang!!</li> </ul> <p><strong>This is more than a party; it is a lifestyle, nice crowd, &amp; great music!</strong></p> <p>Or you can simply <span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong><a href="http://africansouljam.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e0cf93733ad539201c5e673b8&amp;id=b242ec92ea">Join our</a></strong> <strong><a href="http://africansouljam.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e0cf93733ad539201c5e673b8&amp;id=b242ec92ea">Email-L</a><a href="http://africansouljam.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e0cf93733ad539201c5e673b8&amp;id=b242ec92ea">is</a><a href="http://africansouljam.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e0cf93733ad539201c5e673b8&amp;id=b242ec92ea">t</a></strong></span> to be notified of our upcoming events</p>

Back for its seventh season, Citi Pond is one of NYC's most treasured winter destinations.</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/f/6/0/event_178748032.jpeg" /></p> <p> <b>Schedule:</b><br/>The plan is to meet at 9AM inside the rink facility by the lockers.<br/>(Entrance to the facility is from the 40th street, middle of the block)<br/>This is where we will change and put ice skates on before proceeding to the ice.<br/><b>Bring a lock</b> - lockers are free, but if you do not have one you'll have to either buy it at the counter ($7) or check in your bag (and pay a $7 or $10 fee).<br/>I realize 9AM is a bit early, but until we figure out who can skate on what level it's for the best.<br/>From the experience, the major concern and source of insecurity for the people learning how to ice skate are the kids zooming past them from all direction while on the ice...<br/>Early on Sunday morning, there is only a few people skating, so we get more space to practice and enjoy, and less kids to worry about.<br/>Once everyone in the group is comfortable with skating in a more crowded rink we can change the meetup time and maybe even a day of the week - we could do some after work skate metups on Wednesdays or Thursdays evenings...</p> <p><b>Cost:</b><br/>Access to the ice skating rink is free, and so is the use of lockers (you need to bring your lock!).<br/>However, the ice-skates rental is not free.<br/>If you have a pair of ice skates, then you won't pay a dime; but if you do not have your own ice-skates, and can't borrow them from a friend/relative, you'll have to rent them at the facility for $14 for a skating period (you can stay as long as you want 8AM-10PM).<br/>If you plan on ice skating more than 2 times this season, I suggest you to purchase a pair of ice skates; there are some incredibly cheap skates out there - girls can pick up a pair for as low as $30...<br/>Just make sure they fit you OK (thigh but not blistering tight), get the cheapest pair, and disregard all selling points salesman will try to put out there...</p> <p> <b>Transportation:</b><br/>Getting to the Bryant park is easy.<br/>Take subway line B,D,F or M to the 42nd Street - Bryan park stop...<br/>or 7 line to the 5th Ave stop...<br/>or N, R, Q, 1, 2 or 3 line to the Times Square - 42nd Street stop and walk one Ave block east.<br/>The entrance to the ice skating rink is from the south side of the park - 40th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues.</p> <p><b>What to wear:</b><br/>What usually works best for me is a base layer top (thin, body tight, moisture wick shirt) with a warm sweater on the top, a scarf, a warm hat, and a pair of gloves; everything else stays in the locker - it could be a bit cold at first, but as soon as you start skating you'll start rolling your sleeves up; Again, this is what works for me - you may want to adjust the amount/type of clothing to best fit your needs.<br/>Cell phones are not permitted on the ice - if you need to make a call/send text, you have to step off the ice.</p> <p><b>Checking in:</b><br/>When you enter the facility you will be directed to the counter where they will ask you if you have your own skates or if you need to rent a pair, ask you to sign a waiver and give you a bracelet.<br/>After you get the bracelet, you can proceed to the lockers area.<br/>There are some snacks/drinks sold at the facility but the prices are as they usually are in places like this...</p> <p><strong>If you are looking for some adventure and variety in your life, want to challenge yourself, conquer your fears or just try things you've never done before... then you've come to the right place!</strong> This group is for people in New Yory City that like to stay fit, be active and have fun at the same time. Events range from hiking, camping, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, ziplining, obstacle course mud runs, downhill skiing, cross country skiing, skydiving, hang gliding, mountain biking, trail running and every other outdoor activity I can think of. I also didn't forget I'm born and raised in NYC, so we'll also have urban and social activities planned for the group too. This includes running, parkour, urban exploring, dodgeball, flag football and a wide variety of other activities.<br> <br> <strong>Going on trips with like-minded friends is always more fun, and you'll find them here. You'll find we are a friendly, outgoing and quirky bunch who like to challenge ourselves and have a good time while doing it.</strong> Group sizes tend to be smaller here compared to other meetups, but you get to know people better as a result. Its easier to talk to people in a smaller group, the comraderie, conversation and the jokes are just better! lol<br> <br> <strong>We do our best to keep our calendar busy with random and fun trips. <a href="http://www.nychoagies.com/#calendar">Click Here to check out our Events Calendar</a></strong>. These would include all day outings, weekend road trips, vacations and other cross posted events with other meetup groups.

10068782 1421634 <p>Come to this meetup to help get this group rolling. Meet other music techies. Help define the group and set the intentions for upcoming meetups.</p> <p>If you feel like it, please bring a track or two on an iPod to demo your sound. Also, consider bringing a work-in-progress track that you'd like to complete/release in the near future.</p> <p>Note - I currently have this meetup set to be held at Starbucks which isn't necessarily an ideal venue since I'd like for us to bring iPods/CD's to share our music over a sound system. But I figure this will be OK for the first meetup assuming there are just a few of us doing an informal meet and greet type of thing.</p> <p>Depending on how many people RSVP, I'll look into possibilities for a better venue -- or, feel free to suggest one.</p> <p>Rock on.</p> <p>-Scott Raposa</p> <p>We are a group of composers of original electronic music in North Jersey. We get together to socialize, workshop music, collaborate, and jam. Most of us use Ableton's Live, but whatever you can jam on is welcome as long as it fits the theme of electronic (digital/analog) live music.</p> <p>We are not generally DJ's because we are the ones producing the music in the first place and our focus is on original tunes and spontaneous creation.</p>

100689582 1735610 <p>When we are born we are the closest to nature, we really don't "know" anything else. We cry, even scream, expressing our feelings in the most natural way. As we get a bit older we run around with unabandoned joy, unlimited energy, using no filters, carrying no burdens. In our youth we are still connected to this powerful energy, but as we get older society conditions us to conform to the ways of the world. While this is going on our natural power gets suppressed until we have lost the connection and now go through life just following the crowd, never fulfilling our desires or potential.</p> <p>In this class we will practice simple movements and breathing techniques used for reconnecting with our natural state of Being, therefore restoring the power and energy we had as children. Even during the most stressful parts of our day we can use these techniques to remain calm and relaxed. We will talk about our energy centers (Chakras) and learn how to clear the conditionings that have built up over time. We will empower our Selves by learning the art of non attachment and communication skills that will serve us in all area of our lives.</p> <p>Included in this hour and a half class will be a gong meditation. If you have never meditated before or have tried and failed then this is the place for you. This is NOT a sitting meditation, we will relax and lay down while the vibrations of the gong flow over us like the warm Caribbean Sea. It's an experience you won't soon forget and will result in the best nights sleep that you've had in a while.</p> <p>Making the smallest changes in our daily routine can bring on amazing results as we learn to let go of the all the things society has told us to be worried about. So take a little time, invest in your Self and feel what it's like to exist LOinVE. I'm looking forward to expanding with you. ?? ????§?é</p> <p><b>**Please bring a mat or blanket and wear work out type clothing, no jeans or belts as we will be moving and stretching to open our energy centers to better receive the healing vibrations of the gong.**</b></p> <p>~ This class meets every other Friday. ~ $17 per class or $30 for 2 classes.~</p> <p>Our Vision is to create a spiritual community of musicians, artists, singers, chanters, and dancers who come together on mother earth under our father sky. We will play the rhythms and sounds of ancient &amp; modern tribes, aboriginal groups and devotional music. The musicians will play music, while the artists are welcome to paint or sculpt their visions. The chanters will immerse their vocals to the ethnic vibes while the dancers will move their bodies beautifully. Some of the various sounds will come from Native American flutes, Australian didgeridoos, Arab hand drums &amp; ouds, harmonicas, Celtic fiddles &amp; whistles, guitars, electronic beats, Indian tablas, tanpuras, and African drums of all sorts.</p> <p>We will also collaborate with a Kirtan (Devotional Chanting to Indian deities) group in the city and create smooth fusions in powerful meditative states. As we approach the Golden Age of truth, we will come together to awaken our minds and spirits by activating our Chakras, while continuing the process of rising our Kundalini. Each meet up will be a declaration to world peace as we meditate into a trance jam.</p> <p>We encourage our participants to take active roles by bringing new ideas to explore in the group. If you want to meet new people with spiritual and tribal interests and backgrounds and integrate your own creative spirit come join us at our next Meet Up.</p>

100690892 1534629 <p>Tantra is entirely relevant to the present needs of western civilizations who desire both sensual satisfaction and spiritual liberation. It offers a holistic way of interacting with the universe we inhabit, without denying any of the impulses that drive us. Tantra teaches how we can channel creation energy to take control of and transform our consciousness. In this class we will practice the techniques used to change our way of Being, connecting us with our powerful Kundalini energy.</p> <p>In order for change to occure we must clear out conditionings from the past, this is where meditation comes in. We will learn and practice different breathing techniques, mantras and movements, use the awesome vibrational healing power of the Gong for chakra clearing, and learn about the importance of nutrition, communication and the process of neural reconditioning. There's plenty more to talk about so take a couple of hours invest in your Self, and feel what it's like to live in a positive energy flow. ?? </p> <p><b>**Please wear work out type clothing, and bring a mat or blanket for the floor.**</b></p> <p>This class meets every other Friday. $17 per class or $30 for 2 classes.</p> A loving call to action for all who love life, humanity and earth.

100691152 592049 <p>The gong is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. Based on ancient wisdom, the gong vibrates at the same frequency as the body allowing the body to heal itself. The sounds and vibrations of the gong create deep relaxation and state of meditation by altering brain waves from a Beta (waking state) to Theta &amp; Delta (deep meditation).</p> <p>In this class we will learn simple techniques used for reconnecting with our natural state of Being (kundalini energy). In order for this change to occur we must clear out conditionings from the past, this is where meditation comes in. We will practice simple stretches, mantras, breathing techniques, and use the awesome vibrational healing power of the Gong for chakra clearing. We will empower our Selves by learning the art of non attachment and communication skills that will serve us in all areas of our lives.</p> <p>This is not your ordinary sitting meditation; as a matter of fact there will be no sitting at all. If you are really ready to change the way you exist in the world today then take a couple of hours, invest in your Self and feel what it's like to live in a positive energy flow. You'll leave every class rejuvenated and ready to begin your weekend without the stresses that have built up over the week. ?? </p> <p><b>**Please wear work out type clothing.**</b></p> <p>This class meets every other Friday. $17 per class or $30 for 2 classes.</p> <p>This is a group for people who want to explore new cultures as well as Chicago's.  We have fun experiencing new things.  This group includes a little of all sorts of different cultures.  Everyone is welcome to come and experience the rich variety that Chicago has to offer!</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

We strive to promote social connections between our members, and to promote a healthy and free exchange of information and ideas between the members of the group that will enrich their lives.</p> <p>Please note that our events are intended for adults over the age of 21.

100691822 6745272 <p>Admission is pay-what-you-wish on Fridays, 6–9 pm.</p> <p>Sinister Pop presents an inventive take on the Museum’s rich and diverse holdings of Pop art from the movement’s inception in the early 1960s through its aftershocks a decade later. Although Pop art often calls to mind a celebration of postwar consumer culture, this exhibition focuses on Pop’s darker side, as it distorts and critiques the American dream. Themes of exaggerated consumption, film noir and the depiction of women in art, the dystopic American landscape, and the intersection of popular culture and politics, are explored through works by acknowledged masters such as Jasper Johns, Claes Oldenburg, Ed Ruscha, and Andy Warhol, as well as by many artists not traditionally associated with Pop whose art may be understood within its wider field of reference. These include William Eggleston, Peter Saul, Christina Ramberg, and Vija Celmins, among others.</p> <p>This group will meet periodically as interesting events (museum exhibits, literary events, music, film, theater, etc) come up. The idea for this group is that participants will meet before the event, at a nearby cafe or diner, to get to know each other and then attend the event together. Occasionally, we may also go out afterward for coffee or a drink to have fun and discuss our ideas.</p> <p>RSVPs may be limited for some events. There will be a nominal charge (nonrefundable) for each event, primarily in order to discourage no-shows, but also to defray the cost of organizing meetup events. If you are not comfortable with paying the nominal charge for an event, please do not RSVP. I look forward to meeting you!</p>

Good for novices and intermediate riders. The Mianus River runs along the east side of the property, so it is hard to get lost. Some climbs, short runs to bomb down, some tech sections. Overall a good workout trail with several interconnected loops. There are some log obstacles which you can find and try. Several carriage roads with singletrack offshoots.

We have mountain/off-road bikers that ride at Mianus Park after work during the week, and street riders that meet for casual rides as well a fast paced endurance rides around Stamford.</span></p> <p><span>This Meetup is actually a social networking forum more than a group.  The forum is a means for people in the biking community to find each other and get together for rides.  As such SBMG welcomes and support community originated event.</span> <span>You can think of the</span> <span>SBMG website as a community message board dedicated toward bicycling in Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Rowayton, and beyond.</span> <span>When you are thinking about doing a bike ride, please use the SBMG to find others that are also interested.</span></p> <p><strong>Who We Are</strong></p> <p><span>The Stamford Bicycling Meetup</span> Group (SBMG) is a group of bicycle enthusiasts looking to meet up with others to go cycling. This group is for people of all skill levels and of all biking types (recreational, endurance, leisure, mountain, road, etc.). We meet regularly for in Stamford, Greenwich, and Rowayton, Norwalk, but also plan meetups in other areas, for rail trail, road, and off-road rides.</p> <p><span>If you are a beginner, this is the place to start. You will meet others who can give you advice before you buy any gear. If you are an experienced cyclist, this group is an ideal way to meet other bikers to talk about gear, local routes, and to plan trips. Cyclist of all levels are welcome!</span></p> <p><span>SBMG is a social network forum, not a club, training facility, or outfitter. All events are common adventures, are</span> <strong>non-autocratic</strong> <span>in nature, and not for profit (unless hosted specifically by a business, institution, or outfitter following a different liability model). SBMG, its organizers, and its members assume no legal and or civil responsibility for or to any individual or event.</span></p> <p><strong>We Encourage Safe Cycling</strong></p> <p><span>We suggest for safety reasons that everyone ride with a helmet, in a legal manor, and in a cycle-pods of three to five. The forum makes it possible for novice, intermediate, and advanced bikers to find each other and form safe ride pods. Road cyclists should follow rules of the road.  Off road bikers should follow rules of the park.  The social nature of the group allows members to share safety tips and skills in a non-structured friendly format.  Safety is your responsibility!</span></p> <p><strong>How We Set Up Events</strong></p> <p><span><span>The Stamford Bicycling Meetup</span> Group (SBMG)  is not a leader-dictated Meetup group, but a member-driven forum. Bicycle enthusiasts are welcome to join the forum and suggest locations for common-adventure rides.  All members can suggest a place, date, and time for a bike-ride event.  In fact, SBMG relies heavily on individual members to put events on the calendar.</span></p> <p><span>When two other members decide to attend the suggestion moves to the calendar and is announced to the group as an event.  (Some events are moved to the calendar by one of</span><span>the</span><span>SBMG moderators</span><span>with less than three people on the RSVP list.)</span> <span>Once it is on the calendar it is no longer a suggestion, but an event and it gets announced to the group by e-mail.  Whenever you visit the SBMG page,</span><span>you should check the SUGGESTED events page to see if there is a suggested event that you might want to attend.</span></p> <p><span>Many people worry that if they suggest a ride too many bikers will show up and they would be responsible for a large group.  Most of the SBMG events attract about 1% of the members, which is about 2 to 4 bikers. That is just the right size for a group ride. Members just need to be specific on the day, time, and place (as well as bike-ride type, skill level, pace, etc.) when making a suggestion.  The events are common adventures, so you are not responsible for others, just yourself, but there is always safety in numbers.  However, you should be very specific about the bike-ride type, skill level, and pace of your suggested ride.  It is not a good idea for bikers of a single pod</span><span>to have</span><span>a mixed expectation of the ride... it just leads to disappointment and a ride pod break down.  In short, be clear in your suggestion description and others with like-minded</span><span>thinking will join you (i.e. clearly state road ride, mountain bike ride, novice, intermediate, advance, short, long, fast pace, leisure pace, free-ride, trail-ride, etc.)</span></p> <p><span>SBMG wants all its members to feel free to make ride event suggestions. Such suggestions can be novice leisure rides in a park or rail-trail (with picnic and frequent stops), intermediate-level day road rides, or advanced-skill mountain bike rides. Anyone can take the initiative to add bike-ride events to the calendar. And, this is the best way to get events that work for your personal schedule and skill level so you never have to ride alone.</span></p> <p><strong>Ideas for Meetups</strong></p> <p><span>We are interested in finding racers and triathlon riders that want to do a more rigorous training ride.  If you are interested in training with others then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is fast-paced and rigorous.</span></p> <p><span>We are have many members that want to meet up for local leisure exercise in local streets and parks.  Cycling is an ideal way to relieve the stress of the day and to get the 30 to 60 minutes of cardio recommended for a healthy life-style.  The</span> <span>SBMG forum is the ideal way to get the benefits of cycling while also forming a network of like-minded people to socialize with before, during and after the ride.</span> <span>If you are interested in daily exercise bike rides that are not rigorous training ride but more leisure in nature, maybe along the route to Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, or between Cummings Beach and Shippan Point in Stamford, or along Shore road in Old Greenwich, or where ever, then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is leisure-paced and exercise oriented.</span></p> <p><span>We are always looking for people to lead recreational rides throughout Connecticut and the neighboring states.  If you are interested in exploring the many bike routes and rail/trails in the area or doing multi-night bike touring others then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride.  In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is leisure-paced and recreational in nature.</span></p> <p><span>Our most active group members are mountain bikers.  We have novice to advanced mountain bikers that post off-road rides, mostly in Mianus River Park on the Stamford, but if you are looking to meet up with people to ride other locations then we encourage you to post suggestions.   In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is off-road.  State the paced and style of your ride.  Use descriptors such as cross-country, trail, free-ride, and dirt jumping as these are well known terms.  Also, state if your ride suggestion is novice, intermediate, or advanced in nature.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000"><br> </span></p>

We try to provide a wide range of interesting events on weekdays as well as on weekends and in the evening. Couples and singles will enjoy our Meetups. Though lots of our members are single, we're not a "Singles" group. We don't do Meetups in noisy bars with deafening rock bands where we have to yell at each other or pub crawls focused on drinking - Plenty of other Meetup groups do that. NO DUES OR MEETUP CHARGES, but individual events may involve costs. And of course, no upper age limit - Some Members are 70+ and full of energy!</p>

10069899 582365 <p>PLEASE NOTE THE NEW TIME FOR THIS GAME ONLY. We will meet at Busse Woods just East of 53/290 on Higgins Rd. Entrance is on the South side of Higgins Rd. - first entrance just east of 53/290. After you enter, follow the road to the RIGHT - continue along 1/2 mile - until you see a bunch of happy people with discs on the right hand side and park. you can't miss us!</p> <p>Beginners and "Pros" are welcome. We will be teaching basic skills (how to guard the disc / other players), as well as covering basic strategies. This is a GREAT time for new people to come play!</p> <p>Please bring a light and a dark shirt to distinguish teams.</p> <p>Hope to see you there!</p> <p>~ Chadd</p> <p><strong style="font-size : medium">11/2/14 - Fall Back to Standard Time</strong></p> <p>We only play on the weekends due to daylight hours. We are still at the Higgins Rd. entrance for now since there are more options for fields &amp; better wind breaks.</p> <p>We have recently adjusted Saturday's time to start at noon.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="font-size : medium">Current Schedule</span></span></strong></p> <p>Saturday Pickup: Noon - around 3:30 PM...ish</p> <p>Sunday Pickup: Noon - around 3:30 PM...ish</p> <p><span>About us -</span> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/about/">http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/about/</a></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="font-size : medium">Main Description</span></span></strong></p> <p><strong>First thing, don't speed in the forest preserve</strong>. We've had a few individuals get pulled over / ticketed for going like 25 (the limit is 15).</p> <p><strong>More people show up than the number that RSVP!</strong> We usually have at least two games of 5-on-5 going, and almost, almost always have at least 7-on-7. (Winter games are the exception. We still play, but numbers are often weaker.)</p> <p>We are a pick-up game. Not any sort of championship game. Don't worry about "letting your team down" or anything like that. This is a great way to get outside, get in a good amount of running, and to meet new friends. On Sundays we typically play a little more structured, but it's still the same sort of friendly atmosphere.</p> <p><strong>All ages and ability levels are welcome ~ <em><span style="text-decoration : underline">we really mean this.</span></em></strong> Our youngest player was 10 (now 11 or 12), our oldest 69. We have a group of people that play multiple times a week in leagues, and then we have new players come who we teach to play on the field. Some of us are in really good physical shape - others get winded after a few runs up the field. It is a great time and you will fit right in!</p> <p>The most important thing - this is a pickup game. Our skill levels vary quite a bit. Again, we have league/club/college players and we have completely new folks. If you want to be competitive, match up against someone else playing competitively. If you're a beginner, match up against the other beginners <strong>(And ask questions!)</strong>. We enjoy learning strategy, playing a good game, and getting in a workout - but we are mainly out here to play and <strong>have fun.</strong></p> <p>We distinguish teams by "light" colors (usually white) and "dark" colors (usually everything else). Try to bring a WHITE and a dark (NOT GREY) to each game, so we can make teams even.

10069934 1342946 <p>A Memorial Day walk down the westside Greenway.</p> <p><br/>We'll meet at the corner of Dyckman and Payson at 12:30pm.</p> <p>The westside Greenway runs along the Hudson from Dyckman St. down to the Battery, about 12 miles in total. Great views of the river for most of the walk. We'll walk under the GWB and past the Little Red Lighthouse, and you can wave to the tourists on the CircleLine as they go by :). It's like walking through the woods from Dyckman down to the 150s. Further down we'll pass by the Intrepid and the other vessels docked for Fleet Week.</p> <p>We'll head south from Dyckman and see how far we go, stopping for lunch at the Fairway that's @ 130th.</p> <p>At the Battery we'll catch the 1 for the ride back north. If you stay for part of the trip you'll need to locates the closest subway line (I'll try to remember to bring a subway map! :) )</p> <p>Bring water, snacks, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses (there is usually a constant light breeze coming off the Hudson). Good walking shoes! We'll be on asphalt the whole time going south.<br/>I'll have duct tape and alligator repellent.</p> <p><br/>$2 fee to cover monthly meetup costs.</p> <p>Northern Manhattan Outside, or NoMO for short, is a group for New Yorkers to enjoy whatever gets us out into the great outdoors of Manhattan. NoMO is both a social group for northern Manhattanites and others to get together in a relaxed venue and an 'outdoors' group, for all New Yorkers who enjoy hiking, birdwatching, stargazing, kayaking, especially in and around northern Manhattan.<br> Many of the activities are designed to bring together northern Manhattan, New Jersey and Bronx neighbors to enjoy the parks and trails up here in Washington Heights, Inwood, the Bronx and Jersey. Other activities may include day hikes upstate in Harriman or Bear Mt. Park, a bald eagle watch on the Hudson in Manhattan, hiking in Cold Spring, bird watching, coyote watching in Central Park, excursions to Wave Hill, the Bronx Zoo, the Bronx Botanical Gardens or the Brooklyn Gardens (Hanami in the Spring!).</p> <p>Both the area and the community of upper Manhattan are the main focus of this group, however all are most welcome!</p>

I am trained in Turkish and Egyptian Belly Dance styles, classic as well as modern, in Istanbul and in New York.. I started my dancing journey as a child, studying classic ballet, Latin dances, and Belly Dance, and have been dedicated to the Sensual Art of Belly Dancing for the past 6 years. Belly Dancing has a natural and graceful beauty that attracts all great lovers of life to its expressiveness. I am currently also teaching at the JCC (Jewish Community Center) of Rockland, and at the Bamboomoves in Englewood.</p> <p><br/>The versatility of my style allows everyone in my class to find her own self-expression. I give each student specialized attention on execution of movements, transitions, aesthetics and musicality. I take my class into a journey of the sacred, the spirituality, the magic, and the joy of empowerment, of this Sensual Art of Belly Dancing.</p> <p>Class Site:Jersey City ~ Hoboken Bellydance Meetup<br/><a href="http://www.meetup.com/bellydance-nj/"><a href="http://www.meetup.com" class="linkified">http://www.meetup.com</a>...</a></p> <p><br/>************************************<br/><b>WHAT to WEAR to Class </b><br/>( With Thanks to Basmah!)<br/>************************************<br/>Welcome to the Belly dance Adventure! You will need to wear something comfortable, stretchy and tight enough to see the body contours, so that I can make corrections.</p> <p>Yoga pants and a T-shirt are fine. Leotard top and stretch pants are fine too. Please do not cover your legs with a skirt yet, as you are still an Intermediate! Also, feel free to wear anything that gets you in the mood for your personal adventure down the Nile, to your own Inner Goddess!</p> <p>Bangles, long earrings, gypsy scarves around your hips, coin belts, socks or bare feet or ballet shoes (no street shoes allowed in the studio, or drinks-filtered water is available at break time.) ankle bells, anything that makes you feel exotic in appearance can help you find your Inner Goddess. Stay away from the mundane.</p> <p>Three yards of chiffon fabric (any color that makes you happy) will be needed for Veil Dancing, which we are currently working on.</p> <p><br/>I'm so glad you're joining us!<br/>Birnur</p> <p><b><i>"There is something wonderful that happens when you belly dance. In Japan, they call it "Satori" – that Zen state, that zone, where your body is flowing, but your mind is quit.

100700842 161249 <p><b>Location: This is at 18th Street &amp; 11th Avenue, inside Chelsea Piers.  If arriving by subway, take the A, C or E Trains to 14th Street (14th Street &amp; 8th Avenue).</b></p> <p>I love the water. I love oceans, rivers and lakes. I love to sit by the water. I love to eat by the water. I love to look at the water.</p> <p>But it's usually not as comfortable during the winter. You usually have to sit outside in the cold to have a good waterfront view. This is one of the main reasons I eagerly await the arrival of spring: comfortable sitting by the water returns.</p> <p><img src="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/c/d/a/highres_198652442.jpeg" /></p> <p><b>Some structures, however, were built specifically to provide comfortable year-round waterfront viewing.

If you don't drink alcohol, you can still join in on all the fun!</p> <p><img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/c/b/c/highres_198652412.jpeg" /></p> <p>With all the wonderful vegetarians and vegans who attend each of our events, every event we do is liked by our members, but our "Veg Night Out!" events are the most popular of all. People enjoy the fact they can mingle (speak with lots of different people), and they love the beautiful venues that we go to. Join us for a stellar evening of lively conversation and lovely surroundings with fellow vegetarians and vegans.</p> <p>For our new members: this is an incredibly friendly and welcoming group. We'll have our own section in the bar, and you can get to know all our wonderful members.</p> <p>- David</p> <p><b>P.S. All the beers are vegan. :)</b></p> <p><strong>Do you love trying new vegetarian &amp; vegan restaurants?  Do you enjoy the company of fellow vegetarians &amp; vegans?  Are you occasionally frustrated that your meat-eating friends "don't get it," and do you wish to dine with others that have the same enthusiasm for vegetarian and vegan food that you do?</strong></p> <p><strong>Welcome to our group.  What I am especially proud of is all the wonderful members we have.  We seem to attract some of the very nicest, most thoughtful people in New York.  Given the focus of our group, I am not surprised.</strong></p> <p><strong>New York has many excellent vegetarian and vegan restaurants, and new ones are opening all the time.  Join us as we explore them all, and enjoy dining with some of the kindest, most gracious, most socially-conscious people in New York.</strong></p> <p><strong>Plus, join us as we go out on the town to vegetarian and vegan friendly bars and lounges.  And partake when we go to visit some outstanding music venues.  Great ways to have delightful nights on the town in the company of a fun and friendly group of vegetarians and vegans.</strong></p> <p><strong>We warmly welcome all vegetarians and vegans as well as those that are considering a vegetarian or vegan diet.</strong></p> <p><strong>Last year our meetup group was profiled in a news story on CNN's Headline News channel.

I have a 100 foot radius. Thank you. 6) I gotta go back to all the people at the bar again. Geez, why so many people? I'm on overload here. 7) You should really make people sign a waiver saying their social calender is gonna be filled with new friends and S3 events. Gosh, if I knew what I was getting into, I never would have signed up! 8) Can you tell I'm being completely sarcastic? And that EVERY one of these points is something I love about S3? :) Truth be told, this really has been the best decision of my summer and I don't want this season to end. I'll be back for next season and whatever crazy fall leagues you come up with! Thanks for everything S3! You really do provide THE BEST leagues in the city.

I am trained in Turkish and Egyptian Belly Dance styles, classic as well as modern, in Istanbul and in New York.. I started my dancing journey as a child, studying classic ballet, Latin dances, and Belly Dance, and have been dedicated to the Sensual Art of Belly Dancing for the past 6 years. Belly Dancing has a natural and graceful beauty that attracts all great lovers of life to its expressiveness. I am currently also teaching at the JCC (Jewish Community Center) of Rockland, and at the Bamboomoves in Englewood.</p> <p><br/>The versatility of my style allows everyone in my class to find her own self-expression. I give each student specialized attention on execution of movements, transitions, aesthetics and musicality. I take my class into a journey of the sacred, the spirituality, the magic, and the joy of empowerment, of this Sensual Art of Belly Dancing.</p> <p>Class Site:Jersey City ~ Hoboken Bellydance Meetup<br/><a href="http://www.meetup.com/bellydance-nj/"><a href="http://www.meetup.com" class="linkified">http://www.meetup.com</a>...</a></p> <p><br/>************************************<br/><b>WHAT to WEAR to Class </b><br/>( With Thanks to Basmah!)<br/>************************************<br/>Welcome to the Belly dance Adventure! You will need to wear something comfortable, stretchy and tight enough to see the body contours, so that I can make corrections.</p> <p>Yoga pants and a T-shirt are fine. Leotard top and stretch pants are fine too. Please do not cover your legs with a skirt yet, as you are still an Intermediate! Also, feel free to wear anything that gets you in the mood for your personal adventure down the Nile, to your own Inner Goddess!</p> <p>Bangles, long earrings, gypsy scarves around your hips, coin belts, socks or bare feet or ballet shoes (no street shoes allowed in the studio, or drinks-filtered water is available at break time.) ankle bells, anything that makes you feel exotic in appearance can help you find your Inner Goddess. Stay away from the mundane.</p> <p>Three yards of chiffon fabric (any color that makes you happy) will be needed for Veil Dancing, which we are currently working on.</p> <p><br/>I'm so glad you're joining us!<br/>Birnur</p> <p><b><i>"There is something wonderful that happens when you belly dance.

I'm on overload here. 7) You should really make people sign a waiver saying their social calender is gonna be filled with new friends and S3 events. Gosh, if I knew what I was getting into, I never would have signed up! 8) Can you tell I'm being completely sarcastic? And that EVERY one of these points is something I love about S3? :) Truth be told, this really has been the best decision of my summer and I don't want this season to end.

100702052 5136722 <p>This will be a fun, low-pressure shoot. I hope we will have both experienced photographers and new photographers, as well as men with modelling experience, or those interesting in getting naked for the camera the first time.</p> <p>Those interested in coming to watch - and neither model or photograph - are welcome too.</p> <p>Photographers bring props that you think will supplement our classical theme - swords, shields, bows and arrows; fabric, feathers, columns - whatever you like.</p> <p>Models bring accessories that you are think will work with this theme - boots, scarves, hats, etc. You can also let us know if you are comfortable with your face being in a nude shot, and if you are not, we will respect that request.</p> <p>People coming just to watch, bring your good ideas and creative direction.</p> <p>Lets have a good time and be creative.</p> <p><b>Our cost for the space is $50 for the two hours, so I am asking everyone who wishes to attend to make a payment through our paypal account when you RSVP to help cover that cost. By doing this we will know who is coming, and can plan effectively. I believe there is a 'make payment' button on this page. If not, you can may a payment by sending money directly to the [masked] account.<br/></b></p> <p>People coming to watch should pay $20 - half when RSVPing, and half when shoot begins.</p> <p>Photographers should pay $10. If we make our $50 in expenses for the space, you will have a choice to get a rebate from your fee (divided equally among the other photographers), or apply it to a model for the next shoot.</p> <p>Models should pay $10. But I will rebate your $10 payment as soon as the shoot is over, so there will not be a cost to you.</p> <p>Photographers you will be asked to post pictures from the meetup within one week of the event. If you don't post pictures, you will not be able to attend future events. Those of you who take pictures but aren't comfortable showing them to the world on a site like Meetup can email me to them directly and I will share with the models so they receive something for their time. They will not be posted.</p> <p>The space is 400 square feet with natural light, one black wall and one white wall. If you want to bring backdrops of lighting equipment, please do.</p> <p>The meetup will start at 11 am sharp. <b>The door will be locked at 11:10 and latecomers will not be allowed entrance.</b> We will finish at 1 pm and ask that everyone stay till at least 12:45.</p> <p>If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know. We have other ideas for future events and would like to kick this group into gear.</p> <p>The cut-off to RSVP will be 24 hours prior to the event.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align : left">We welcome men with different levels of experience who possess creativity and curiosity to join us. We enjoy each others company in a creative atmosphere with mutual respect for various aesthetics, body types, and personal comfort levels. We have developed a kindly community that promotes artistic expression no matter our level of professional skill or artistic achievement.<br> <br> The work of both our models and photographers can be shown in our  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Chicago-Male-Photo-Group/538011229612575?fref=ts">Facebook</a> page and new <a href="http://chicagomalephotogroup.zenfolio.com/">website</a> has been started. The website can have a page for each photographer in the group, and each model. It is a great way to start getting more of your work on the internet. In some cases, you might post work here that pushes boundaries in ways you might not do on your other internet sites.<br> <br> <span style="color : #0000ff">This group has two kinds of events which we informally call <span style="text-decoration : underline">Career</span> and <span style="text-decoration : underline">Community.</span></span><br> <br> Our Career events are for those who are serious about photography or modeling - either as hobbyists or professionals. These events are for models or photographers who are starting or expanding their portfolio, and who may have pages on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Chicago-Male-Photo-Group/538011229612575">Model Mayhem</a> or other modeling and/or photography sites. The models for these events tend to be athletic or fit, no matter their age. Three or four photographers may work at the same time with different models in these sessions. At times we can pool our resources to pay models for these sessions.<br> <br> Our Community events are more informal and are for men of all kinds who want to be photographed, and for photographers of all kinds who want to try new things with whatever camera they have. These events are larger, with up to 8 men posing and/or shooting. And these events feature shoots ranging from whimsical to erotic.<br> <br> In the shoots we explore light, shadow and color. We learn about new equipment and techniques, as one photographer in the group challenges another. Many in the group, if they have SLR cameras, are working in the non-automated mode for the first time. But men with all level of cameras are welcome.</p> <p style="text-align : left"><span style="color : #0000ff ; text-decoration : underline">Dues</span></p> <p style="text-align : left"><br> This group is free for models who attend one meetup per month. No modeling experience is necessary. There is a 30 day trial period before our monthly dues kicks in. We expect you will attend an event during that period to make sure you are a good fit with the group.After that period, Meetup will remind you that a payment must be made to keep attending.<br> <br> Models who attend at least one meetup per month are exempted from the monthly dues.  Photographers always pay $5 monthly dues which is used for monthly meetup costs, space and equipment rental, and professional models on the career track. The first event each photographer attends each month is $20. Subsequent events each month for photographers are $10 each. In others words, photographers who attend 2 events per month would pay $35. That is a great deal compared to booking talent and renting space on your own.<br> <br> There are occasional free events for friendship and cultural enrichment.<br> <br> Whether a novice or an expert, you are welcome. If you have any questions, you can email us directly at ChicagoMalePhotoGroup@gmail.com or davidathensphotos@gmail.com.</p>

100703012 6592232 <p>Our inaugural meetup will feature the one-and-only Hilary Mason, Chief Scientist at bitly.  If you're not familiar with Hilary, you can read more about her here: <a href="http://www.hilarymason.com/about/"><a href="http://www.hilarymason.com/about/" class="linkified">http://www.hilarymason.com/about/</a></a>.</p> <p>Hilary has a well-deserved reputation for breaking down difficult subjects and making them (even more) exciting and accessible.  We'll also have pizza and beer for everyone, so come join us!</p> <p>[If you want to share the event with your friends, you can click <a href="http://clicktotweet.com/LvPUI">&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://bit.ly/Wd7kqQ"&gt;here</a> to tweet about it (feel free to edit, of course).]</p> <p>NYC's data science community is full of brilliant, incredibly talented people. We started this group to create a central location to showcase the amazing work New York's data scientists are doing and help awesome people meet one another.</p> <p>This meetup aims to serve the technical community—data scientists, software engineers, hackers, and statisticians. Our events will vary from introductory to advanced, but are always intended to provide new ideas, concepts and tools to help you solve your hardest problems.</p> <p>We wrote more about why we started this group here: http://blog.mortardata.com/post/41195980748/why-we-started-the-nyc-data-science-meetup.</p>
100703032 3059562 <p>Due to popular demand, Networkers will be offering a webinar on ICND1 and start with the fundamentals of OSI Model, cable types, toplogies, and everything we normally do in the first class of an official ICND1 course.</p> <p>Due to time, we will be going for about 1.5 hours, if the turnout is good enough we'll see if we can offer other options as well.</p> <p> </p> <p>  <a href="http://www.anymeeting.com/cisconetworkers1"><a href="http://www.anymeeting.com/cisconetworkers1" class="linkified">http://www.anymeeting.com/cisconetworkers1</a></a></p> <p>Let's do it!<br/>WZ<br/>[masked]</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/cisconetworkers1">http://www.youtube.com/user/cisconetworkers1</a></p> <p>This is a group dedicated to Cisco IT professionals who are interested in meeting with others to meet, learn, exchange ideas, and network.</p> <p>Our aim is to help each other develop not just technically and professionally --but to also establish long term relationships. Today's world is very competitive so why go it alone?</p> <p>This group is nothing without our members -- really -- everyone can suggest meetup topics, express their thoughts, and engage other IT professionals in the industry. Any questions, suggestions -- please email me directly as I check my email daily.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
10070357 1123670 <p>Free Urban Gardening Class: In this class we will be going over Trellises, seedling transplants, and Cold frames. We will be covering the details of growing Onions and Garlic as well. Additionally, we will be answering any gardening related questions that people might have. WHERE: Open Road Community Garden, 420 E 12th St New York, NY 10009 WHEN: Sunday 4/05 at 3pm WHO: Ke Xu (Suburban Backyard Gardener) COST: Free to attend. Optional Fee of up to 5 dollars. SPONSORS: Tri-State Food Not Lawns This Meetup was suggested by <a href="http://www.meetup.com/greenapple/members/5014970">Ke Xu</a></p> <p>The Green Apple Meetup is for New York City</p> <ul> <li>residents,</li> <li>businesses,</li> <li>organizations,</li> <li>building managers,</li> <li>and others concerned with <em>making sustainability sustainable</em>.</li> </ul> <p>The Discussion Board is currently active. Please contribute to the discussion online (even if you can't attend an event in person).</p> <p> </p> <p>We do not advocate meetings, or meetups, for the sake of talking green. There is already too much talk and too little action. We are interested in ways of making green happen.

10070480 219701 <p>Okay, heading back to a Thursday meet-up - just to see how it goes...! The Friday ones were pretty popular, so we might end up switching.</p> <p>The event will be held at The Cliffs at Valhalla indoor Rock Climbing gym. We'll discuss potential trips, and focus on finding new climbing friends and climbing partners. New climbers are not only welcome, but encouraged to join us!</p> <p>Definitely bring your gear, because we break up into small groups and go climbing! A day pass for anyone that comes to the Meet-up group is $10, rather than $16. Rental gear is not included, however, and will be a small additional charge. See The Cliffs website for more details.</p> <p>Transportation: City folk - take the Train to Valhalla and we'll pick you up. Let us know in advance.</p> <p>Feel free to bring friends!</p> <p>It's only 40 minutes via Metro North from Grand Central.</p> <p>For more information, see <a href="http://www.TheCliffsClimbing.com"><a href="http://www.TheCliffsC" class="linkified">http://www.TheCliffsC</a>...</a></p> Our mission is to create a community of climbers (and people interested in climbing) to share ideas, find climbing partners, and have fun! We plan indoor and outdoor climbing trips and are open to ANY experience level - beginners and guides alike. All are welcome.

Parade times are from 11 a.m. until about 1 p.m. It's the Year of the Snake!</p> <p><a href="http://queens.about.com/od/neighborhoods/p/flushing.htm">Flushing, Queens</a>, is home to one of the <a href="http://queens.about.com/cs/neighborhoods/a/tour_flushing.htm">largest Chinese and East Asian populations in New York City</a>, rivaling Manhattan's Chinatown.  Flushing is reachable via the 7 train last stop, Main Street (a 40-minute ride from Times Square).</p> <p>Come immerse yourself in the festivities... busy shops, crowded streets, and red ornament decorations everywhere conveying new year's greetings!  The parade begins, Union St and 39th Ave and usually ends at Main St and 39th Ave. The parade runs along Main St so you can see it upon exiting the subway station.  Look for dragon dancers, steel drummers, and fireworks.  About 4,000 people march each year.  I recommend that you get to Flushing around <b>10:30AM</b> to get a good viewing spot. The Chinese performers in the parade usually end the procession with a celebration at the Queens Crossing Mall, where there's more cultural activities. There will be traditional cultural performances and festival booths.  The Korean parade contingent usually celebrates at Korea Village's Open Center, a cultural space, where there will be Korean food, games, dancing, martial arts, music, and a karaoke contest.</p> <p>What to do in downtown Flushing?</p> <p>1. Shop for fresh fruits and vegetable, herbal medicine, asian groceries</p> <p>2.

Three existing brick walls were left exposed to convey a warm familiarity. The hardwood floors are dyed red, emphasizing the striking texture of the aged materials. The seating is upholstered in fine black tufted leather and trimmed in white. The tufted leather ceiling houses six black crystal chandeliers descending from recessed cases veneered with black mirrors. Home's design is complete with 30 private tables, music by top DJ's and VIP memberships combined with a sophisticated bordello-esque red, white, and black atmosphere, plush couches, crystal chandeliers, tufted leather lined ceilings a 35-foot bar and an outside smoking lawn.</p> <p><br/>Hip-Hop, House, Classics, 80s &amp; Rock music by: JCNY</p> <p><b>DOOR OPEN AT 10:30 PM.</p> <p>VODKA OPEN BAR FROM 10:30 TO 11:30.</b></p> <p>Ladies FREE until 1am; Gents FREE until 11pm and a Reduced $20 after.</p> <p>21 PULS WITH ID.

10070716 365014 <p>To help increase the awareness of the importance of regular self-exams/mammograms for Breast Cancer detection and to help increase funds for research. <b>Chicago Black Professionals will be joining the Cocoa Butterflies meetup</b> group in supporting the Walkers for Avon's Walk for Breast Cancer by posting up at one of the Cheering Stations to support the walkers!</p> <p><b>From the Cocoa Butterflies Volunteer Coordinator:</b> Your presence and support mean a lot to our Walkers as they conquer a two-day 39.3-mile walk to end breast cancer. Cheering Station sites have been generously donated by local businesses and organizations, and it’s important that we treat these sites with care and respect.</p> <p>Below is a list of guidelines and ideas to help create safe and fun Cheering Stations.The formal list of Cheering Stations and times will be released in May. I'll update the page once I receive this info. Site info:Avonwalk.org</p> <p>•Wear all of your favorite PINK clothes, hats, shoes, socks and jewelry!<br/>•Wave homemade banners; hold up signs or balloons encouraging Walkers. Blow bubbles, cheer, bring noisemakers to show your support.<br/>•Offer a lemonade stand or give out goodies.<br/>•Please remain at the designated site and do not stray onto adjacent property that we do not have permission to use.<br/>•Please do not disrupt traffic or block the route in any way.<br/>•Please pick up any trash or recycling that you find on the ground. We strive to leave sites cleaner than when we first arrived. Avon Walk staff will not be providing site clean up.<br/>•Please do not use sidewalk chalk, paint, or confetti.<br/>•These sites are open to the public - Ladies if you have young MENTEES, family members, and friends please bring them along. The earlier we are informed about our health the better. Don't forget to invite our brothas, as breast cancer affects the entire family. (and hey pink is still in style for the fellas so they have no excuse lol).</p> <p><br/>I'm posting this meetup in the message board along with an article regarding Black women and breast cancer. I'd like your input on what we should bring to the Cheering station for ourselves (maybe we'll have room for a BBQ?) and to hand out to the walkers (ie water). Please give your input!!</p> <p><b>Note:</b> Please consider attending this meetup. I join a cheer station every year and you wouldn't believe how appreciative the walkers are that you're there on the side lines supporting them. I'm always amazed how impacted I am when cheering for those who most times have lost a loved one to this horrible disease.</p> <p>The Chicago Black Professionals Meetup is a group primarily made up of men and women over the age of 21 here in the Chicago area whom share an interest in ethnic heritages rooted in the African diaspora. We come from broadly diverse educational, professional, and social backgrounds, but we have a common interest: to come together for social networking. We strive to promote social connections between our members, and to promote a healthy and free exchange of information and ideas between the members of the group that will enrich their lives.</p> <p>Please note that our events are intended for adults over the age of 21.

10070719 1123670 <p>"Earth Day New York's annual EarthFair is a two-day FREE festival of art, music and the environment at New York's Grand Central Terminal that will be held Friday April 24th (12pm-7pm) and Saturday April 25th (11am-5pm). A large exhibit area highlighting not-for profits, green businesses, organic food and environmental groups will include interactive displays that will not only educate, but provide an opportunity to take positive action for the environment. EarthFair also features live musical entertainment including numerous well-known performers and New York City-based bands. Giant Earth images illuminate Grand Central Terminal's main concourse with inspiring environmentally-themed quotes."</p> <p><a href="http://www.earthdayny.org">www.earthdayny.org </a></p> <p>The Green Apple Meetup is for New York City</p> <ul> <li>residents,</li> <li>businesses,</li> <li>organizations,</li> <li>building managers,</li> <li>and others concerned with <em>making sustainability sustainable</em>.</li> </ul> <p>The Discussion Board is currently active. Please contribute to the discussion online (even if you can't attend an event in person).</p> <p> </p> <p>We do not advocate meetings, or meetups, for the sake of talking green. There is already too much talk and too little action. We are interested in ways of making green happen. In practice there is a certain element of lifestyle choice in the green culture, but eventually, green will only work if it also generates the other kind of green - dollars.</p> <p> </p> <p>So we are particularly interested in initiatives that combine green with green, truly a natural combination! And it turns out there are plenty of opportunities, while a lot of other things are over-hyped.</p> <p>Being in the city means many people rent or lease space, so there is a conflict of interest between tenants and owners which tends to hold up the show, yet here and there people are finding innovative solutions. Yet there are some amazing things tenants can do, which benefit them directly, and yet they are not being done (enough).</p> <p> </p> <p>What matters is creating a collaborative environment where the discussions focus on practical solutions and how to do them, while keeping an eye on avoiding merely painting everything that's more resource efficient than last year's version as 'green.'</p> <p> </p> <p>So when is green green? In our view it happens once you're on a trajectory that leads to total sustainability over time. Some solutions lend themselves to achieving a sustainable business proposition right now, others are steps in a process. The dead ends are when you merely become more resource efficient, but are not progressing towards a structural solution, although efficiency may also bring structural solutions closer to reality, because they make the problem smaller, but efficiency should not be given priority over structural solutions lest we major in a minor.</p> <p> </p>

Next, men go one direction, and woman another, and you enter the locker rooms. First thing you do is take off your shoes (it's only polite!) and put them in a little cubbie that opens when you wave your magic wristband in front of it. Then there's another, larger locker for your clothing. Then you change into the provided tee shirt &amp; shorts uniform and meet up with your friends of the opposite sex upstairs. If you're staying in the women's or men's locker room section, (my favorite), they've got everything you could ever need to spend hours relaxing.</p> <p>They've got pools with the massage jets, they have sleeping rooms, relax rooms, things to read, stuff to watch on TV, and numerous helpful attendants to answer questions, and be friendly. The hot tubs and pools in the mens and women's locker rooms are wonderful, but you are not allowed to wear bathing suits there.. If you're uncomfortable being nude, you'll forget all about that in about 5 minutes or you can just go upstairs and use the pools on the other floors. You can even get an exfoliating body scrub or massage if you want to spend a little more money. And they charge it all to that wristband thingy you're wearing.</p> <p>Upstairs is uniform only (unless you're in a pool, in which case you'll need a bathing suit). You may want to bring a larger towel for when you get out of the outdoor pools on the roof - as it can be chilly (actually you're usually quite warm in the water, and steaming when you get out.. but a beach towel is nice...)</p> <p>We'll meet up at some point for a late lunch/early dinner, (they have sushi, a juice bar, and American snack food) then check out all of the amazing saunas, purchase a massage, and do numerous other pampering activities.</p> <p>Upstairs further are the unisex, bathing suit required pools. They have a massaging jet to hit every acupuncture point you can imagine. You can just relax in the warm/hot water, move from station to station, and basically forget about the crazy holiday times we just lived through.</p> <p>We've been there several times now, and its just amazingly wonderful. It doesn't matter how you look, how big or small you are, or anything else. Everyone is just there to relax and have a good time, and that's that. -- oh yeah, and have really delicious and authentic Korean food! :)</p> <p>Check out the place for yourself -- Click on their website <a href="http://www.nyspacastle.com/eng/main/main.php">HERE</a>.  And go to our site last year - Jan 2nd 2009, Jan 2010, November 2010, Feb 2011 and Nov 2011 to read the comments from others who've gone...</p> <p>See you soon!</p> <p>Terry</p> <p>We're an outgoing group of friendly folks who like to enjoy good food and drinks, as well as live music and not pay a lot to do this! Join us as we explore ethnically diverse restaurants, (read: Korean, French, Japanese, Indian, Morrocan, Russian, Spanish, African, Greek, etc. as well as New American), music venues and cultural festivals in Westchester and beyond!!</p> <p>PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ OUR "ABOUT" PAGE WHICH HAS SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING RSVP'ING TO EVENTS...

10070903 458367 <p>Hi, Golfers:</p> <p>Okay, Mother Nature won round one, but now it's our turn!! Our first official outing will be on Sunday, April 19th, 11:45 a.m., at Glenview National 9 course.</p> <p>We started there last year and it's an ideal opening course, very well-maintained, with a combination of easy holes [masked] yards) and harder ones (280 yards). It also tends to have some elevation so as to be less likely to be soggy or underwater.</p> <p>After we golf, we always go out for a meal and great conversation. We will be going to a good restaurant in The Glen -- I'm open to suggestions.</p> <p>We are starting a new system this year of rating each outing by difficulty so that people can decide if the course is within their level of expertise. A BEGINNERS rating means this course will be good for people who've played a year or less or who tend to hit their tee shots from[masked] yards and are only beginners at chipping and pitching. An INTERMEDIATE rating will be for those who hit their tee shots[masked] yards and are fair at chipping and pitching. An ADVANCED rating will be for those who hit their tee shots 150 plus and are fairly adept at pitching and chipping.</p> <p>This outing is rated BEGINNER plus -- it's good for all levels from beginner to advanced.</p> <p>The cost of this outing will be $18 plus $2.00 meet-up fee for a $20 total. If you pay by Paypal, it's $22. Directions to the course are below.</p> <p>The following sections are MUST READ for golfers new to our meet-up. SKIP THEM AT YOUR OWN PERIL!!</p> <p>PUNCTUALITY: PLEASE SHOW UP NO LATER THAN 11:45 A.M. PLEASE DO NOT SHOW UP LATER OR COME FOR THE LAST TEE TIME. My phone number is 847/[masked] -- it's my business cell. If there is any question or problem, call me. Take this number with you to the course</p> <p>NEW GOLFERS --&gt;&gt;. We have a RULE to make sure the pace of play doesn't lag. You have a limit for how many strokes (hits) you get to get close to the green -- one more than the par of the hole. If you're on a par three, you get four hits, a par four, you get five hits, etc. If you haven't gotten it close to the green by then, please pick up your ball and drop it within ten yards of the green and continue.</p> <p>PLEASE READ: PAYMENTS. ALL GOLFERS WHO ARE GOLFING WITH US FOR THE FIRST TIME MUST PREPAY. IF YOU DO NOT PREPAY, I WILL REMOVE YOUR RSVP -- do not come to the outing if this happens.</p> <p>YOU NEED TO RSVP YES AND PREPAY BY NO LATER THAN Friday, April 17th, 11 P.M. You can prepay in one of three ways.</p> <p>(1) Send me a check for $20 made out to me, Blake Osborne. Mail it to: Blake Osborne, 5225 Old Orchard Road, Suite 29, Skokie, IL 60077. I must receive the check by no later than Wednesday, April 15th.</p> <p>(2) You can drop off a $20 cash payment at the above address up until Saturday 10 a.m. (through the mail slot if the door is locked -- if it's open, walk into the office and leave the envelope next to the door of Office C -- it will be secure there). Please notify me by email if you plan to pay this way. Make sure the cash is in a sealed envelope and the cash is not visible from the outside. DO NOT MAIL CASH!!</p> <p>(3) I do have PayPal set up. It's not showing up on this website but you can reach it by going to paypal and entering my email address, [masked]. If you pay by PayPal, the fee is $22 because PayPal charges me about $2.00 for each payment.</p> <p>PLEASE READ: CANCELLATIONS. If you need to cancel, please do so NO LATER THAN SATURDAY, April 18th, 8 a.m. I will either return your money or, if you'd prefer, I'll hang onto it for a later event. If you do not cancel by Saturday, April 18th at 8 a.m., or if you don;t show up for the event, you may not get your money back. It depends upon whether the course still charges me for the tee time. If they do, kiss your money goodbye! Sorry, but there's just no other way to do this. However, I will do my best to insure you don;t get charged.</p> <p>DIRECTIONS: Glenview National 9 Golf Club, 2800 West Lake Ave., Glenview, IL 60026,[masked]-1637.</p> <p>NOTE: There will be two golf courses you will see when you arrive at the address. The National Nine course is on the NORTH side of the street, not the south side.</p> <p>From I-294:<br/>Exit I-294 at Willow Road East. Go approximately 2 ¼ miles to Patriot Blvd. Turn right. Go 1/2 mile to West Lake Avenue. Turn right. Go ¼ mile to 2800 West Lake Ave. on right.<br/>From Edens Expressway (I-94):<br/>Exit I-94 going west on Lake Ave. Go approximately 3 miles to Patriot Blvd. Turn right. Go approximately 1 ½ miles to West Lake Ave. Turn left. Go ¼ mile to 2800 West Lake Ave. on right.</p> <p>See you there!!</p> <p>Blake</p> <p>Hi and Welcome! All levels of golfer, from beginner to advanced, are welcome. You will need these basic skills to golf with us: (a) able to hit off tee at least 60 yards consistently (b) able to hit it off the ground consistently (without missing often) at least 40 yards; some knowledge of how to hit a chip and pitch shot. So that people can decide if an outing is within their level of expertise, each outing will come with a rating of difficulty: SHORT HITTERS (hits 50-100 yards off tee, new at chipping/pitching), MEDIUM HITTERS (hits 100-150 off tee, fair at chips/pitches), and LONG HITTERS (hits 150 plus off tee, good at chips and pitches). If you are NOT skilled enough to play with us, please take some lessons, then join us. You can take from a pro (see options, in "Files" on site) or from myself (much cheaper). "Files" section also has free written lessons. We meet up about bi-monthly to golf and socialize. You can attend one of our meetups, put out an email to the group seeking members interested in playing, or add your name to our golf phone tree (see files section) so that golfers may call you if interested in playing. We golf all over: the city, but mainly north, west and south suburbs, and we always golf near a highway to make it convenient. Questions? Email me, Blake, via this website. Members can also call me at 847/966-8806.</p>
10070923 1123670 <p>Come visit this FREE sustainability-themed information fair hosted by the Stuyvesant Square Community Alliance.</p> <p>The Green Apple Meetup is for New York City</p> <ul> <li>residents,</li> <li>businesses,</li> <li>organizations,</li> <li>building managers,</li> <li>and others concerned with <em>making sustainability sustainable</em>.</li> </ul> <p>The Discussion Board is currently active. Please contribute to the discussion online (even if you can't attend an event in person).</p> <p> </p> <p>We do not advocate meetings, or meetups, for the sake of talking green. There is already too much talk and too little action. We are interested in ways of making green happen. In practice there is a certain element of lifestyle choice in the green culture, but eventually, green will only work if it also generates the other kind of green - dollars.</p> <p> </p> <p>So we are particularly interested in initiatives that combine green with green, truly a natural combination! And it turns out there are plenty of opportunities, while a lot of other things are over-hyped.</p> <p>Being in the city means many people rent or lease space, so there is a conflict of interest between tenants and owners which tends to hold up the show, yet here and there people are finding innovative solutions. Yet there are some amazing things tenants can do, which benefit them directly, and yet they are not being done (enough).</p> <p> </p> <p>What matters is creating a collaborative environment where the discussions focus on practical solutions and how to do them, while keeping an eye on avoiding merely painting everything that's more resource efficient than last year's version as 'green.'</p> <p> </p> <p>So when is green green? In our view it happens once you're on a trajectory that leads to total sustainability over time. Some solutions lend themselves to achieving a sustainable business proposition right now, others are steps in a process. The dead ends are when you merely become more resource efficient, but are not progressing towards a structural solution, although efficiency may also bring structural solutions closer to reality, because they make the problem smaller, but efficiency should not be given priority over structural solutions lest we major in a minor.</p> <p> </p>

100709682 1514451 <p>“A turned-on woman ignites other women. She refuses to deal in the accepted inter-female commerce of one-downmanship, publicly cataloging all the ways her life isn’t going well to make other women feel safe. She understands that while she may find comfort in processing and commiserating with her sisters, soothing and colluding with them, such comfort is not her aim. A world of turned-on women is her aim. The generous step is to point other women evermore in the direction of wakefulness, using her own turn-on to foster genius in those around her. She is not afraid to stand alone if necessary.

Some people think of her as the person who got prayer out of public schools some 40 years ago.</p> <p><br/>Some people think of her as the feisty woman lawyer, decades ahead of her time, who brought atheism out of the closet.</p> <p><br/>Others think of her as the iconoclastic, silver-tongued TV guest frequently seen on the Johnny Carson and Phil Donohue shows who created a stir in Middle America by insisting that there was no god, no heaven and no hell.</p> <p><br/>And some, who mourn her deeply, think of her as the Atheist leader who was murdered, along with her son and granddaughter, and buried in a unmarked, long-undiscovered grave in Texasbecause the authorities could not be bothered to look for her. Was she, in fact, Atheism’s first martyr?</p> <p><br/>First-Person Witness</p> <p><br/>On Sunday, April 19, NYC Atheists Inc. will have as our honored guest, Carolyn Gilman, who is not only a current member of the Board of Directors of NYC Atheists but was for many years also a member of Madalyn’s Board of Directors. Gilman knew Madalyn well, was trusted by her and worked closely with her.</p> <p><br/>Come hear Gilman discuss and reflect about Madalyn, her life and times, her loves, her goals, her raunchy longshoreman vocabulary, her peccadilloes, her courage, her foibles, her humor. We owe it to the Atheist movement to keep the memory of our heroes alive.</p> <p><br/>NYCA will also present some vintage videos we have acquired of Madalyn in action on the Johnny Carson and Phil Donohue shows. Come see how the confident, poised Madalyn was able to irritate Middle America by her in-your-face remarks about religion and its myths.</p> <p><br/>Learn how Madalyn, labeled ‘The Most Hated Woman in America’ by the media, the religionists and the fundamentalists—was, in the end… loved by those who knew her well.</p> <p><br/>EVENT SUMMARY</p> <p><br/>What: “Madalyn Murray O’Hair—American Martyr and The Woman I Knew”<br/>A discussion and recollections by Carolyn Gilman, current member<br/>Of NYCA Board of Directors and former Board Member of<br/>American Atheists.</p> <p><br/>WHEN: Sunday, April 19 at 12 noon</p> <p><br/>WHERE: The Press Box Restaurant &amp; Pub<br/>932 Second Ave. (bet. 49/50th Sts.)<br/>Second Floor</p> <p><br/>COST: Brunch, $20<br/>Includes Buffet entrees, coffee, tax, tip.<br/>No charge for seconds.</p> <p> FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT:</p> <p>Ken Bronstein, president<br/>New York City Atheists Inc.<br/>[masked]</p> <p>OR</p> <p>Jane Everhart<br/>Director of Communications<br/>New York City Atheists<br/>[masked]<br/>============</p> <p>New York City Atheists Inc. is a 501C not-for-profit educational association dedicated to the separation of church and state and to promoting the Atheists lifestyle and values.

10071213 12907 <p>For Immediate Release<br/>New York City Atheists<br/>Web: nyc-atheists.org<br/>Press Contact:[masked]</p> <p><br/>What Is the Deep Dark Secret Behind the Lure of Religion?</p> <p>Psychologist Analyzes How Religion Entraps You</p> <p><br/>Dr. Darrel W. Ray grew up in the belly of the beast—Wichita, Kansas, heart of the Bible Belt. His grandfather was a preacher in a country church; his parents became Christian missionaries. He thought he would go into the Christian ministry himself so he studied for a Master’s degree in religion. But something strange happened on the way to his becoming a minister: He lost his belief in religion.</p> <p><br/>Dr. Ray holds that losing one’s belief is not uncommon among clergy; but once they become preachers, they can’t easily get out of the profession. Luckily, he was in his 20s when it happened to him. He changed his field and, instead, got a doctorate in clinical psychology from Vanderbilt University. He is now a successful practicing psychologist whose team of five employees specializes in organizational psychology—coaching and counseling executives.</p> <p><br/>But what Dr. Ray learned in his year of studying religion—not to mention a lifetime of listening to fundamentalist preaching—stuck with him throughout his doctorate studies in psychology. Somewhere along the line, he saw the connection: that the church uses subliminal psychological techniques to ensnare and capture its victims. The result was his ground-breaking book, The god Virus: How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture, in which he analyzes how the church uses psychological techniques to lure and entrap the vulnerable.</p> <p><br/>Church Manipulates Emotions</p> <p><br/>“In my view, we atheists have missed the boat,” he says. ”Most of us think that logic is the way to combat religion. My thesis is, logic is NOT the way to combat religion.</p> <p><br/>“We have to learn to understand how religion manipulates people emotionally,” says Dr. Ray. “If we just argue logically with it, it’s not going to go away. The more you argue with it, the stronger it gets. We need to look at the emotional exploitation that the church engages in and understand it.”</p> <p><br/>Dr. Ray holds that religion uses guilt, fear, rhythmic sing-song cadences, music and hypnosis-like techniques to inculcate religion. At the Thursday, April 30th NYC Atheists meeting, he will demonstrate how the guilt cycle works—“You weren’t born guilty,” he contends. “You have to learn to feel guilty.”</p> <p><br/>He will start his presentation by doing a demonstration of typical fundamentalist preaching. “I’ll do about 60 seconds of hellfire and brimstone,” he says, “because I want to show how the verbal cadences and the music give a subliminal message about guilt.”</p> <p><br/>New Group for Ex-Believers</p> <p><br/>Dr. Ray has recently started a new initiative called “Recovering From Religion” or RR, in which he hopes to create face-to-face meetings in every city in the nation of people who are trying to get out of their religion. “I’m trying to do the same thing as Alcoholics Anonymous but for people who are trying to get out of religion,” he notes.</p> <p><br/>Come, hear this fascinating, pioneering psychologist and author who has taken time from his busy schedule to advance his belief that science tops religion and to show to the world how insidiously religion uses old and new psychological techniques to bait the unwary.</p> <p>EVENT SUMMARY</p> <p><br/>WHAT: “How Religion Uses Psychology to Entrap Its Victims,”<br/>a talk by Dr. Darrel W. Ray of Kansas City, KS,<br/>psychologist and author of The God Virus.</p> <p><br/>WHEN: Thursday, April 30th at 6:30 P.M.</p> <p><br/>WHERE: SLC Conference Center<br/>352 Seventh Ave. (bet. 29th &amp; 30th Streets)<br/>16th Floor</p> <p><br/>COST: FREE.

10071361 430073 <p>We're very excited to be welcoming our next speaker, Melinda Turner, at our April 29th meetup. She'll be speaking on "Streamlining Drug Development with Accelerator Mass Spectrometry."</p> <p>There will be <i><b>limited space</b></i> for this meetup, so be sure to RSVP early, and if your plans change please be sure to update your stuats!</p> <p><b>Synopsis:</b><br/>Drug development statistics show that the number of molecules approved by the FDA is decreasing while the time and costs required to develop a drug continues to rise. In response to this crisis, many alternative strategies and technologies have been suggested to increase success rates of drug approval. One of these technologies is accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), which can be used to de-risk early development programs and increase their value to investors and potential partners. Xceleron is a pioneer in accelerator mass spectrometry, having been the first commercial organization to apply this technology to biomedical research and helping to shape US and European regulatory agencies’ positions on the use of AMS within drug development. This presentation will provide an overview of the traditional early drug development strategy and introduce the AMS technology. We will review a few case studies demonstrating the practical application as well as the financial and scientific benefits of the use of AMS in early drug development.</p> <p><b>Outline:</b><br/>Overview of drug development<br/>FDA’s critical path initiative<br/>eIND guidance<br/>MIST guidance<br/>AMS technology<br/>Applications of AMS (high-level)<br/>Case studies (focus on financial benefits, de-risking, partnerships)</p> <p><br/><b>About Melinda Turner:</b><br/>Melinda Turner works closely with pharmaceutical and biotech companies to provide solutions for early drug development. Throughout her career, Melinda has gained a firm knowledge of the drug development process from medicinal chemistry through early clinical development. Her practical understanding of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics helps to guide potential partners and clients during the critical phases of selecting the appropriate clinical candidate.</p> <p>After receiving her degree in biochemistry from Villanova University and completing some graduate coursework at the University of Pennsylvania, she began working in the preclinical drug development arena for Absorption Systems, a small contract services company. During her time at Absorption Systems, Melinda gained an understanding of early drug development and the driving factors of candidate selection and preclinical drug development. Melinda moved on to lead the US business development team at Cyprotex, a UK-based drug discovery company, where she developed partnerships with pharma and biotech to shape drug discovery efforts through lead optimization. She is continuing to expand her experience throughout the drug development paradigm while working with Xceleron, where she provides an opportunity for biotech and pharma to streamline late preclinical and early clinical development of drugs.</p> Meet other people interested in discussing various topics in the growing pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Discuss ideas for providing better products and services to society and how firms could deliver them more quickly and with better communication to their customers.
100714562 463260 <p><a href="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/2/c/8/event_197841192.jpegThe" class="linkified">http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/2/c/8/event_197841192.jpegThe</a> Blackhawks–Red Wings rivalry is the most intense in the Central Division.[1] It has existed since 1926–27 and continued ever since through the Original Six days into the present. These two clubs have faced each other in more regular season games than any other two clubs in NHL history, except for the total number of regular season and playoff matches in the Bruins–Canadiens rivalry. Early HistoryThe rivalry began on November 24, 1926, when the NHL's two Midwest expansion teams met for the first time, and the Detroit Cougars (they didn't become Red Wings until 1932) earned a 1-0 victory against the Chicago Black Hawks (they didn't become Blackhawks until 1986) at Chicago Coliseum, the arena that preceded Chicago Stadium, the "Madhouse on Madison." In that game, Frank Frederickson of the Cougars scored the only goal with five minutes remaining in the third period, assisted by defenseman Hobie Kitchen, and goaltender Hap Holmes recorded the first shutout of his rookie season. It was the first win in Detroit franchise history, and the first loss in Chicago franchise history.</p> <p>We are a group of unbelievably fun friends that meet regularly at different places around the burbs.

100714612 1811919 <p>This group offers support for men and women who are 50+ and thinking of separating and divorcing or are already in the midst of a divorce or are dealing with post-divorce.  Every phase of life brings different issues and questions and all people do not fit into a one-size-fits-all mold.</p> <p>If you are considering (or are in the midst of) a divorce after the age of 50, your concerns are different, as are your potential risks and possible mistakes and so here's a group created just for you.   Life has given us a different perspective than when we were younger and you know that no one can be an expert on every topic but you learn to get the information needed when it is required.  This group is here to make that information-gathering process easier and it will also be a comfortable place get all your legal questions answered and meet some other people going through a similar situation at the same time as you.</p> <p><b>Some of the issues that will be discussed that may be unique to our phase of life are pensions, retirements, maintenance, social security, the adult children, maybe there are grandchildren and the house.  We hope you will join the next group meeting.</b></p> <p><b>This group is combined with the Separation and Divorce Legal Group to increase the likelihood of group support and we also try to promote it via calendar of events in the community. As this group grows, we will separate the groups -- this way works best for now.</b></p> <p><b>Bring your questions for an even livelier discussion. We look forward to seeing you then.</b></p> <p><b>If this date is not good for you, this group meets on the first and third Thursday of every  month. We also offer a free consultation appointment in our office at a time that is convenient for you -- you can make that appointment whether you attend this group meeting or not.</b></p> <p><b>You can also visit www.lawjaw.com for more info about our law firm.</b></p> <p><b>Meeting is from 6:00pm to 7:30pm.  Please call the office at[masked] if you cannot arrive by 6:30pm.</b></p> <p> </p> <p>We decided to start this group because the life stage of people divorcing over 50 is different than those under 50 but most of the advice and divorce support groups seem to be directed to those under 50 -- and sometimes way under 50. The purpose of the group is to provide members of the local community with legal information and to answer legal questions about separation and divorce in a comfortable environment. Anyone 50+ who wants to learn more about the separation and divorce process, issues and procedures that relate more specifically to their age group should join.</p>

Plus, we are going in peak season for the very best weather!</p> <p>This 10-day trip will take us from Stockholm, Sweden to the best Fjords of Norway with plenty to see in between. We have group air from LAX to Stockholm, Sweden where we have the next 3-days to tour and explore. <img src="http://www.singlesinparadise.com/single34.jpg" /></p> <p>Stockholm, one of the most beautiful capitals in the world, is built on 14 islands connected by 57 bridges. The beautiful buildings, the greenery, the fresh air and the proximity to the water are distinctive traits of this city. The <a href="http://www.visitstockholm.com/en/To-Do/Attractions/royal-national-city-park/1165">Royal National City Park</a>, (the first National City Park in the world), is a green space that breathes for the city, and a constant presence in the crush of the city.</p> <p>With its 750 year history and rich cultural life, Stockholm offers a wide selection of world-class museums and attractions. Most of the city's <a href="http://www.visitstockholm.com/en/To-Do/Attractions/royal-national-city-park/1165">attractions</a> can be reached on foot, and there’s a good chance of experiencing a lot of things in a short time. Experience big-city life, the history of civilization and natural scenery, all in the course of the same day.</p> <p>Visit Stockholm City Hall. Climb the City Hall tower for a fantastic view of Stockholm. Don't miss <a href="http://www.visitstockholm.com/en/To-Do/Attractions/gamla-stan/1856">Gamla Stan</a>, Stockholm's<img src="http://www.singlesinparadise.com/single35.jpg" /> oldest attraction and one of the best preserved medieval city centers in the world. Walk through small winding streets lined with stores full of handicrafts, antiques, art galleries and cafés. The Royal Palace and Stockholm Cathedral where the royal wedding took place in 2010 are also located in Gamla Stan.</p> <p>The green island of Djurgården is home to some of the city's most popular attractions. Visit the world-famous warship the Vasa, the world’s oldest open-air museum Skansen, or Astrid Lindgren’s Junibacken. And don't miss the chance to see Stockholm from the water. Naturally a city built on fourteen islands offers marvelous views over the water. There are many different sightseeing tours to choose from. And if fourteen islands aren’t enough, Stockholm offers a wonderful archipelago with 30,000 islands, islet rocks and skerries.</p> <p>Our hotel, The waterfront, 4-star Radisson Blu (see links below) lies in the heart of the city on Sweden's east coast, where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea at the Riddarfjärden Bay. We will have a 3-hour panoramic tour set up and a visit to the <a href="http://www.vasamuseet.se/en/The-Ship/">Vaca museum,</a> a famous warship that sank in 1628 that was highly recommended for a tour. We will have info. on other optional tours as we get closer to the trip such as a bike tour of the city.</p> <p>Then we will fly to Oslo, Norway.</p> <p>Oslo is located innermost in the 100-kilometre-long <b>Oslofjord</b>, which is home to 40 islands. Over half of <a href="http://www.oslo.kommune.no/english">the municipality of Oslo</a> is covered by forests and parks, making Oslo a truly <b>green city</b>. Oslo hosted the 1952 <b>Winter Olympics</b> and the 2<a href="http://www.singlesinparadise.com/09norway1.jpg011" class="linkified">http://www.singlesinparadise.com/09norway1.jpg011</a> <b>FIS Nordic World Ski Championships</b>. Top attractions in Oslo include Vigelandsparken Sculpture Park, the Opera House, and the Holmenkollen Ski Jump. Locals are active year-round, enjoying the public parks and numerous waterways, even in winter. One can’t help but notice that everyone walks, bikes or takes the train/subway everywhere. Maybe it’s the unique topography of Norway that lends itself to this. Fjords, those majestic inlets created by glaciers, surround so much of the country. The scenery is breathtaking but the terrain can be tough to traverse if you aren’t careful, making driving a bit hazardous as times. Thus, this isn’t a car-crazy city. Most residents don’t have one car, much less two or more and the rail and bus system is so efficient that getting around is a breeze</p> <p>Our hotel, the 4-star Thon Bristol is only a short walk from Oslo's main street, Karl Johans gate, the Royal Palace, museums and the waterfront area Aker Brygge and most of Oslo's other attractions. Our included tours here will be a 3-hour panoramic sight seeing tour by coach and a visit to the <a href="http://www.visitoslo.com/en/product/?TLp=181482">Viking Museum</a>. There are a number of other attractions that you will have the option of visiting on our 2-day visit to Oslo. The <a href="http://citysightseeing.no/">Hop on/ Hop off bus</a> has also been a popular way for us to start off as a group and see the places that appeal to us most.</p> <p><a href="http://www.singlesinparadise.com/alesundedit.jpgNow" class="linkified">http://www.singlesinparadise.com/alesundedit.jpgNow</a> we are ready for the Fjords and here's where our trip becomes the most active as well. We will have one night in Alesund, which is a must see and one night at the Gierangerfjord, a World Heritage Site before heading to Bergen for our final 3-nights. After studying the Fjords with the help of the experts that I am using, I did not want to miss Gierangerfjord which is a must see, World Heritage Site. We will fly from Oslo and will spend one night in Alesund named Norway’s most beautiful city.</p> <p>Just look at this photo below and you will understand that we needed to include this stop in our itinerary. The city of Ålesund is known for its<img src="http://www.singlesinparadise.com/single36.jpg" /> architecture in Art Nouveau style, its surrounding fjords and the high peaks of the Sunnmøre Alps. The meeting between mountain and fjord in the Alps of Sunnmøre and in Geiranger is equally spectacular in summer and winter. There is probably nowhere else in the world with this unique combination. The snow clad mountaintops, the sharp, clear winter air, the views and the nature experience refresh both body and soul!</p> <p>We will only have the afternoon to spend here so there are no planned tours as you will enjoy the time to browse and take photos. Check out hotel listed below, located right on the water with great views!</p> <p>The next morning we will depart on our journey to the Geirangerfjord, so unique it has been included on <b>UNESCO’s world heritage list.</b> The deep blue Geirangerfjord is surrounded <a href="http://www.singlesinparadise.com/single41.jpgby" class="linkified">http://www.singlesinparadise.com/single41.jpgby</a> majestic, snow-covered mountain peaks, <b>wild waterfalls</b></p> <p> </p> <p>and lush, green vegetation.

Bergen is known for Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf, the Fish Market, and surrounding mountains and fjords, such as the Hardangerfjord and Sognefjord.</p> <p>Bergen's first buildings were erected along the old Hanseatic wharf, <b>Bryggen</b>, which has been a lively and important part of the city through the centuries.

Plus, we are going in peak season for the very best weather!</p> <p>This 10-day trip will take us from Stockholm, Sweden to the best Fjords of Norway with plenty to see in between. We have group air from LAX to Stockholm, Sweden where we have the next 3-days to tour and explore. <img src="http://www.singlesinparadise.com/single34.jpg" /></p> <p>Stockholm, one of the most beautiful capitals in the world, is built on 14 islands connected by 57 bridges. The beautiful buildings, the greenery, the fresh air and the proximity to the water are distinctive traits of this city. The <a href="http://www.visitstockholm.com/en/To-Do/Attractions/royal-national-city-park/1165">Royal National City Park</a>, (the first National City Park in the world), is a green space that breathes for the city, and a constant presence in the crush of the city.</p> <p>With its 750 year history and rich cultural life, Stockholm offers a wide selection of world-class museums and attractions.

Naturally a city built on fourteen islands offers marvelous views over the water. There are many different sightseeing tours to choose from. And if fourteen islands aren’t enough, Stockholm offers a wonderful archipelago with 30,000 islands, islet rocks and skerries.</p> <p>Our hotel, The waterfront, 4-star Radisson Blu (see links below) lies in the heart of the city on Sweden's east coast, where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea at the Riddarfjärden Bay. We will have a 3-hour panoramic tour set up and a visit to the <a href="http://www.vasamuseet.se/en/The-Ship/">Vaca museum,</a> a famous warship that sank in 1628 that was highly recommended for a tour. We will have info. on other optional tours as we get closer to the trip such as a bike tour of the city.</p> <p>Then we will fly to Oslo, Norway.</p> <p>Oslo is located innermost in the 100-kilometre-long <b>Oslofjord</b>, which is home to 40 islands. Over half of <a href="http://www.oslo.kommune.no/english">the municipality of Oslo</a> is covered by forests and parks, making Oslo a truly <b>green city</b>. Oslo hosted the 1952 <b>Winter Olympics</b> and the 2<a href="http://www.singlesinparadise.com/09norway1.jpg011" class="linkified">http://www.singlesinparadise.com/09norway1.jpg011</a> <b>FIS Nordic World Ski Championships</b>. Top attractions in Oslo include Vigelandsparken Sculpture Park, the Opera House, and the Holmenkollen Ski Jump. Locals are active year-round, enjoying the public parks and numerous waterways, even in winter. One can’t help but notice that everyone walks, bikes or takes the train/subway everywhere. Maybe it’s the unique topography of Norway that lends itself to this. Fjords, those majestic inlets created by glaciers, surround so much of the country. The scenery is breathtaking but the terrain can be tough to traverse if you aren’t careful, making driving a bit hazardous as times. Thus, this isn’t a car-crazy city.

Power. Inspiration</p> <p>Mission<br/>Our mission is to stop child sex trafficking by interrupting a culture that sexualizes children and regards the human body as a commodity, and to transform that culture into one that treats all people with honor and respect. We use popular vehicles of education and entertainment, such as comic books, to educate at-risk children about the danger of sex trafficking and empower them to protect themselves and live lives of courage, power, and inspiration.<br/>Description<br/>Our current project, ABOLITIONISTA, is a manga comic book with captivating narratives and artwork that responsibly educates children about the dangers of child sex trafficking and empowers them to protect themselves and their peers. We believe that an educated and empowered child is the most practical and immediate deterrent to the atrocity of child sex trafficking.</p> <p><br/>HOSTED BY -<br/>-------------------</p> <p>Maytee Martinez - International Model/Actress - (Vogue Italia/Mexico, Victoria's Secret, Betsey Johnson,Mercedes Benz Fashion week,Model Latina South Beach -TV Show, Top Model of the World Cuba 2013, (Americas Next Top Model )</p> <p>Jocelyn Cattley - Ralph Lauren, NY Times, Fashions Night Out</p> <p>Ashley Rose - Fashion Editor, Latino Show Magazine</p> <p>Asia Janina Dyrkacz - MAA Models Against Addictions <a href="http://www.modelsagainstaddictions.org/" class="linkified">http://www.modelsagainstaddictions.org/</a></p> <p><br/>Special Invited Guests<br/>--------------------</p> <p>Pamela Rose Rodriguez from NBC's the Voice</p> <p><br/>Fashion Presentation by<br/>--------------------</p> <p>Sheena Trivedi -Mercedes Benz Fashion Week<br/>Loraimy - New York Fashion Week<br/>Antoinette Karma</p> <p><br/>Dance Performance By<br/>---------------------</p> <p>Team 2.0 (as seen on Fox News!)<br/><a href="http://on.fox2now.com/8APywah" class="linkified">http://on.fox2now.com/8APywah</a></p> <p><br/>Our Fashion Week Giveaway!!!<br/>---------------------</p> <p>Guests of the event will receive FREE gifts courtesy of www.grandcentralbeauty.com and American Laser Skincare!!</p> <p><br/>VENUE<br/>----------------------</p> <p>SEA Meatpacking 835 Washington St NY NY<br/>11pm-4am.

It was the first win in Detroit franchise history, and the first loss in Chicago franchise history.</p> <p>Welcome to The PARK RIDGE Happy Hour group!

10072182 1404146 <p>WE WILL BE GATHERING AT THE MALL, NOT DEMONSTRATING THERE.</p> <p>There comes a time when individuals come together to support one another and spread the message that we don't work for the government, but that the government works for us. Propping up failed companies who are failing because of bad policies and bad debt by forcing americans to go into debt is not a solution for us or our children. Throwing out private enterprise for old, worn-out government schemes is not the answer. We must allow capitalism's best tool of "creative destruction" to do the work of rooting out malinvestment, so we can set ourselves aright and begin again to let freedom ring.</p> <p>Come join us to let Washington DC know that we are here. Come join us April 15th to let your neighbors know that is our responsibility as citizens to take back our freedoms. Come join us on April 15th!</p> <p><strong>The Rockville Centre Tea Party Patriots was founded on April 15th, 2009. On that day over 600 disgruntled residents joined together for Nassau County’s first official Tea Parties in Hicksville and Massapequa, NY.<br> We are non-partisan and do not support any political party. We will support candidates from any party that shares our views. We welcome all new members regardless of the town you reside.<br> <br> With few exceptions we hold our meetings the first Tuesday of the month at The American Legion Hall, 197 Maple Avenue Rockville Centre. Meetings run from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. We encourage you to attend and to bring a friend. All of our meetings are open to the public.<br> <br> Mission Statement and Core Values<br> The impetus for the Tea Party movement is excessive government spending and taxation. Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.<br> <br> Core Values:<br> • Fiscal Responsibility<br> • Constitutionally Limited Government<br> • Free Markets<br> <br> <br> Our Philosophy:<br> The Rockville Centre Tea Party Patriots as an organization believes in the Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government, and Free Markets. We are a non-partisan grassroots organization of individuals united by our core values derived from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill Of Rights as explained in the Federalist Papers. We recognize and support the strength of grassroots organization powered by activism and civic responsibility at a local level. We hold that the United States is a republic conceived by its architects as a nation whose people were granted “unalienable rights” by our Creator. Chiefly among these are the rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The Rockville Centre Tea Party Patriots stand with our founders, as heirs to the republic, to claim our rights and duties which preserve their legacy and our own. We hold, as did the founders, that there exists an inherent benefit to our country when private property and prosperity are secured by natural law and the rights of the individual<br> </strong></p> <p><br> Real Time US National Debt Clock<br> <a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html"></a><a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </p>

10072212 804121 <p><i>Gene is your host!</i></p> <p>Weekly social ice dance session in the city at the World Ice Arena.</p> <p><b>Time:</b> 5:00pm - 6:20pm, every Sunday</p> <p><b>Cost:</b> $20</p> <p><b>Location:</b> <a href="http://www.worldice.com">World Ice Arena</a> (2nd-to-last stop on the 7 train) <a href="http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2658192">[walking map from 7 stop]</a></p> <p><b>Description:</b> For those of you who've never done a social ice dance session, it's different from a normal practice session in that a CD is played and everyone skates the same dance at the same time, and everyone dances with everyone. It's ridiculously fun. If you know any of the compulsory dances (or knew them once upon a time) you should come.</p> <p><b>Experience:</b> You'll find a huge range of experience levels at an ice dance session. At a bare minimum, you should feel comfortable on the ice and be able to do forward crossovers -- it's hard to think about dancing when you're worried about standing up. The more you know, the more fun you'll have, but as long as you're not scared and you're willing to try, you should be fine. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.</p> <p><b>Mailing List:</b> There's a new <a href="http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/icedanceNYC/">mailing list</a> just for announcements about future sessions (e.g., last minute cancellations).</p> <p>Hope to see lots of you there,<br/>Alex</p> <p>ps- I'm not the organizer of the session, I'm just a New Yorker desperate for some social ice dance and very excited about this :)</p> <p>pps- For more information on social ice dance, about.com has a <a href="http://figureskating.about.com/od/icedancingandpairs/f/socialdance.htm">good introduction</a> (which I mostly agree with).</p> <p><b>DRIVING DIRECTIONS</b><br/>The best way to get to the rink is to take the LIE to College Point Blvd exit, North on College Point Blvd to Avery St. (Western Beef is on the corner) one block West on Avery and park under the Van Wyck Expressway.</p> <p><i>What People are Saying!</i><br/><i>We had a blast! It's a beautiful new rink with a great sound system, nice folks, everything a social ice dance session should be. We had a wide range of ice dance experience all the way from none up to national competitors. Two of the women said they had never ice danced before but by the end of the night they were getting the hang of it pretty well and I think they had fun too. I hope ice dance NYC is here to stay.

On that day over 600 disgruntled residents joined together for Nassau County’s first official Tea Parties in Hicksville and Massapequa, NY.<br> We are non-partisan and do not support any political party. We will support candidates from any party that shares our views.

Meetings run from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. We encourage you to attend and to bring a friend. All of our meetings are open to the public.<br> <br> Mission Statement and Core Values<br> The impetus for the Tea Party movement is excessive government spending and taxation. Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.<br> <br> Core Values:<br> • Fiscal Responsibility<br> • Constitutionally Limited Government<br> • Free Markets<br> <br> <br> Our Philosophy:<br> The Rockville Centre Tea Party Patriots as an organization believes in the Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government, and Free Markets. We are a non-partisan grassroots organization of individuals united by our core values derived from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill Of Rights as explained in the Federalist Papers. We recognize and support the strength of grassroots organization powered by activism and civic responsibility at a local level. We hold that the United States is a republic conceived by its architects as a nation whose people were granted “unalienable rights” by our Creator. Chiefly among these are the rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The Rockville Centre Tea Party Patriots stand with our founders, as heirs to the republic, to claim our rights and duties which preserve their legacy and our own. We hold, as did the founders, that there exists an inherent benefit to our country when private property and prosperity are secured by natural law and the rights of the individual<br> </strong></p> <p><br> Real Time US National Debt Clock<br> <a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html"></a><a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </p>

Would you watch Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter simply because a movie with that title must be awesome? Does your list of cinematic classics include things like Barbarella, Zardoz, and Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus?</p> <p>More importantly, do you want to get together with a room full of people who just said "yes Yes YES" to the above, and spend hours making fun of horrible movies and laughing your ass off?</p> <p>I've been running the Bad Movie Night meetup for two years - for the denizens of suburban California.

100732042 1810145 <p><b><img src="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/f/7/c/event_197877212.jpeg" /></b>review A bald-faced copy of Terminator mixed with bizarre Oriental legends and squirming sexual violence, this Indonesian oddity scores high for insane action and impressive chutzpah. After the prologue fills us in on the story of the evil Queen and the possession of Tania ("I'm not a lady, I'm an anthropologist!") is complete, the rest of Lady Terminator is pure plagiarism, right down to reproducing some of Terminator's scenes and dialogue. It's a rip-off on the cheap, as well, with certain sequences being used twice in order to bulk up running time. Luckily, the whole mess is just weird enough to work, blending Eastern and Western influences together into something far greater than its original intent. Make no mistake; this is nothing more than a cynical cash-in packed with as much nudity, explosions and blood squibs as possible, but fans of outlaw cinema will be thrilled by the sick surrealism on screen and the outrageous chicanery at work behind the scenes.</p> <p>In 1889, the vicious "Queen of the South Sea" collects men that she murders during sex, thanks to a magical eel that lives inside of her vagina and bites the penises off of those who can't satisfy her lust. Finally, one man pleasures her long enough to reach inside and pull out the creature, which instantly turns into a dagger. Furious, the Queen vows that she'll take her revenge on the man's great-granddaughter, and goes into the sea to wait for one hundred years. A century passes, and Tania, a plucky anthropologist, finds an ancient book on the legend of the Queen and decides to investigate. She charters a boat to take her to the area where the Queen is believed to have disappeared, but while skindiving, a tidal wave destroys the vessel and Tania suddenly finds herself tied to a bed in a mysterious room. When a mystical eel enters her, she is possessed by the spirit of the bloodthirsty Queen. After killing a pair of drunken punks in a lascivious manner, she sees the image of Erika, a pop singer, on television and recognizes her as the descendant of the man the Queen vowed revenge on a century before. Armed with machine guns and impervious to bullets, the female assassin starts cutting a bloody swath through the city in an attempt to murder Erika, taking out scores of innocent bystanders, policemen and soldiers on her way. Erika's only hope is to recover the magic dagger that her great-grandfather has bequeathed to her for just this sort of emergency.</p> <p>Mondo Culto is a thriving, obsessive, and elaborate "be-in" for friends of Cult Films and the stepping to the punk beat of the East Village: Ass Juice at the Double Down, Karoake at Planet Rose, Cheese Fries at Crif Dogs, and Midnight Movies at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema are just some of the staples of La Vida Mondo Culto. So if you like living after midnight and rocking till the dawn, The Mondo Culto Experience is for you!</p>

100737232 4527712 <p>In two super short parables, Kafka epitomizes a disturbing paradox of modern power: law that takes on a universal form often proves to be of no use when individuals seek recourse in the courts.</p> <p><a href="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/3/1/a/event_197893082.jpegThe" class="linkified">http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/3/1/a/event_197893082.jpegThe</a> universal form that is embodied in the law appears to be inadequate to meet particular needs. Instead of admitting its shortcomings, the power utilizes laws to suspend a decisive moment - be it a final judgment, acknowledgement, redemption or catharsis.</p> <p>Suspension rules through bureaucracy, paperwork, complications for no reason, endless appeals to higher courts, long waits for expert opinions, setting up investigation committees, etc.</p> <p>While containment of social unrest through suspension becomes a standard characteristic of modern power, we act as if a universal system could still somehow, eventually, recognize our unique existence and propose remedy.</p> <p>If anything, the bitter disillusionment comes about at a point where resistance has already vanished.

Since it's her birthday and all, she won't be cooking dinner - so this time we'll definitely be pitching in for pizza. Appetizers and things are still encouraged, and she'll be making some sort of dessert.</p> <p>We will be meeting at Marcia's condo on the North side of Rogers Park. Cozy, good booze (supplemented by what you bring!), music, we can order pizza, relax, and hang out. Please bring $5-$10 for pizza if you plan on eating.</p> <p>We will send her specific address out to players who have RSVPd as we get closer to the event.

We usually have a collection of sandwiches, cookies, veggies, and dips from all the nice folks who share.</p> <p>PPS ~ We are now charging a few dollars for the game... Marcia provides a LOT at these games - so we are requiring $3 now, please offer it up!</p> Just trying to get some regular card playing scheduled.

10073910 216810 <p>Come and meet fellow Asian professionals. This is a friendly, casual atmosphere to relax after work and meet some new people. There are no introductions or presentations, only an unstructured opportunity to mix and mingle.</p> <p>We will be meeting at mannahatta's new location (just a couple doors down from their old location).</p> <p>Hope to see you there!</p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong>NEW YORK ASIAN PROFESSIONALS MEETUP (NYAPM.COM)<br> Networking for Asians in the New York, NY Metro Area</strong></p> <hr> <p style="text-align : justify">The <strong>mission</strong> of the New York Asian Professionals Meetup is to connect Asian people in the New York metropolitan area: life is richer and business is better when you have more quality relationships! Come meet other Asians in a fun environment.<br> <br> The NYAPM is the largest of its kind -- in the WORLD. Once you <strong>join our group</strong> by clicking the big red "Join us" button, you're instantly connected to over 5,000 Asian professionals living and working in and around New York City. Organizers Richard Young and Tiffany Ma have been successfully connecting Asian/Asian-Americans socially and professionally in the tri-state area for the last decade.<br> <br> When you <strong>go to our events</strong>, you can mix &amp; mingle with the 200+ Asian professionals that typically attend. Many of our members have become good friends and now get together for fun and/or profit outside the Meetup -- and that's what this is all about: connecting with like-minded people in a casual, relaxed atmosphere.<br> <br> Our <strong>typical member</strong> is Asian and based in the NY metro area, and likely working in the finance, medical, legal, or technology sector. <em>But all ages and professions (and students) are welcome!</em><br> <br> Our <strong>typical event</strong> is at an upscale lounge or event space, usually with <strong>drink specials</strong> and sometimes with <strong>free food</strong>. Usually 200+ members show up, with an even amount of men and women. With no "60-second elevator speeches" or formal introductions, our events focus on the <strong>social side of networking</strong>. Our members are friendly and chatty, but if you do need an introduction, either of our Organizers would be happy to provide several for you.<br> <br> Our group and our events are <strong>not</strong> for non-Asians.<br> <br> <strong><em>If you're an Asian professional in the NY metro area, please join our group now!</em></strong><br> <br> We look forward to seeing you at our next event!</p> <p style="text-align : justify">Please note that, unless you are offering us a venue or sponsorship, <strong><span style="text-decoration : underline">ALL COMMERCIAL SOLICITATIONS ARE IGNORED</span></strong>.

10073983 344576 <p>We're going to try a new location for a spades game. Driftwood Bar hosts a lot of euchre events, and we're going to have a game of spades there now too!

We can hang out and play cards at tables just the perfect size and shape! Less expensive than Exchequer, too!</p> <p>I'll be there about 5:30 and it's a small place so easy to find me.</p> <p>Marcia<br/>[masked]</p> <p>FYI - this is a dog friendly bar!</p> Just trying to get some regular card playing scheduled.

10074157 1377720 <p>Josh Cough of both planetscala and ScalaTest fame - and probably one of the groups most experienced Scala developers - will be discussing "Testing with Scala" at our next meetup, April 27th at 6:30pm.</p> <p>Josh is working with Bill Venners to develop ScalaTest, a testing framework designed to facilitate different styles of testing, including some interesting behavior driven testing and more traditional JUnit/TestNG style testing. However, Josh wanted to emphasize his discussion will cover the many methods available for testing in Scala, not just ScalaTest. Quoting Josh directly:</p> <p>"I noticed that a lot of the people at the meetup were newcomers, both to our meetup and to Scala. To accommodate the them, the talk will be more of a gentle introduction than this past meetup (which wasn't an introduction at all). I think this approach meshes well with ScalaTest, which eases you into Scala by supporting many of the ways that Java developers are used to programming tests, including JUnit and TestNG. After the introduction we'll be cover more advanced features in ScalaTest, move onto Specs, mocking in Scala, and ScalaCheck, time permitting. The talk should have plenty enough content and gusto to captivate the more experienced Scala developers in the group. I'm really excited."</p> <p>Josh has shown great insight and experience with Scala at all of our meetings, and this should be a great presentation. Check out his blog <a href="http://jackcoughonsoftware.blogspot.com/"><a href="http://jackcoughonsof" class="linkified">http://jackcoughonsof</a>...</a> and get ready for a great meeting!</p> <p>Scala is a programming language with an advanced type system that compiles into bytecode for widely used virtual machines. We host technical meetups on intermediate and advanced topics in the language, as well as workshops for Scala Types of any skill level. Some of our past meetups appear on <a href="https://vimeo.com/channels/nyscala">our vimeo channel</a>.</p>

10074388 1232238 <p>Come to our weekly Women's Night at The Rock Club! Always fun, social, and a great workout.<br/>Beginners are always welcome!</p> It can be hard to find partners if your free time is during the day. Lets use this group not only for the regular meetings on Fridays, but as a gathering place for partner-finding. Take each others numbers, post on the discussion board, reach out and find each other! The great thing about climbing is that students, home-workers, and professionals ditching their lunchtime meeting can all climb together. I'm open to members self-organizing their own days. Beginners are always welcome! <p>Details:<br> Fridays 11am-1pm<br> Cost: There's no fee but you will need to pay for a day pass if you're not a member and rent equipment if you don't have your own.<br> Day pass: $15<br> Rental equipment: $4.50 for shoes, $4.50 for harness</p> <p>How it works: We'll introduce new people to the regular crew and get you climbing. If you know how to belay you can jump in and climb with anyone. If you don't know how to belay there will always be folks who are happy to belay you for a few climbs. If you love it (as we're sure you will!) you can sign up for a belay class.</p> <p>If you have any questions about the night or about climbing please send me an email and I'll be happy to help any way I can.</p> <p>I hope to see you at the gym soon!</p> <p>The Rock Club<br> 914-633-ROCK<br> www.ClimbRockClub.com</p>
10074394 563152 <p>The purpose of this group is to establish a safe place where people can deal with the pain and isolation brought about by the ending of a significant relationship. We are not a single group or a dating network. Instead, we are a family where it is safe to be ourselves. The goal of the meeting is to help members to develop into healthier, more complete, independent, loving men and women. We hope that by being together, listening to each other, and by sharing our experiences, strength and hope, we will learn to see the value of life in a new context. For the first hour of each meeting members share their experiences. The second half of the meeting is reserved for a guest speaker relating to either the legal or emotional aspects of separation/divorce. We meet every Monday eveing at the Church in the Highlands, 34 Bryant Ave. White Plains, New York. We are a mixed group of men and women. There are about 50 members, with approximately 20 attendees per meeting. There are no fees, new members are welcome, no reservation is necessary. We pass a basket at each meeting and suggest a three dollar donation per meeting to cover the cost of the meeting place and coffee/cookies served at the meeting.</p> <p>A 12 Step support group for people who are separating/divorcing or coping with the end of a long term relationship.</p>

It should be a continuous effort. Every moment one has to be alert, aware and meditative. But the mind has played a trick. You meditate in the morning and then you put it aside. Or you pray in the temple and then forget it. Then you come back to the world, completely unmeditative, unconscious, as if walking in a hypnotic sleep. This fragmented effort won't do much.</i></p> <p><i>Consciousness is a continuum. It is like a river, flowing constantly.

Meditation is the route to that knowing.It is a methodology of science of awareness.</p> <p>Many meditative techniques require one to sit still and silent. But for most of us accumulated stress in our bodymind makes that difficult. Before we can hope to access our inner powerhouse of consciousness, we need to let go of our tensions.</p> <p>Osho (1931-1990) is an enlightened mystic who has given many new techniques of active meditations for the inner transformation of the modern man. His active meditations like <strong>Dynamic meditation, Kundalini meditation</strong>, Nadabrahma meditation are scientifically devised to consciously express and experience repressed feelings and emotions, and learn the knack of watching our habitual patterns in a new way.You can find out the science behind some of Osho meditations by clicking <a href="http://www.meetup.com/oshonewyork/about/"><strong><span style="color : #ff6600">here</span></strong></a></p> <p>Osho's techniques give more freedom of expression. At our Meditation Studio , we dance, sing, relax, play, create, and celebrate life with the meditation techniques devised by Osho. And while we each can walk this journey of life, of meditation alone, it is more supportive ,more fun, more energetic and vibrant to share the process with others in a group.</p> <p><strong>Come share the cosmic dance....a dance where individual energies meet and unite with the cosmic energy !!!</strong></p> <p>For more information on osho meditations visit  below</p> <p><a href="http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Meditation&amp;Language=English"></a><a href="http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Meditation&amp;Language=English" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Meditation&amp;Language=English" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Meditation&amp;Language=English" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Meditation&amp;Language=English" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Meditation&amp;Language=English" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Meditation&amp;Language=English" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Meditation&amp;Language=English" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Meditation&amp;Language=English" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Meditation&amp;Language=English" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Meditation&amp;Language=English" target="_blank">http://www.osho.com/Main.cfm?Area=Meditation&amp;Language=English</a></p> <p>Listen 24/7 Osho Live at <a href="http://radio.osho.com/">http://radio.osho.com</a> , Iphone or Android Osho Apps available too.</p> <p>For Osho News :-  <a href="http://www.oshonews.com">http://www.oshonews.com</a></p> <p>Other Popular Sites :-</p> <p><a href="http://www.oshoworld.com">http://www.oshoworld.com</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.tapoban.com/">http://www.tapoban.com/</a></p>

This group is for people of all skill levels and of all kayaking types (recreational, touring, whitewater, surfing, etc.). We meet regularly for sea-kayaking in Stamford, Greenwich, and Rowayton, but also plan meetups in other areas, both on the Long Island Sound and inland in freshwater locations.</span></p> <p><span>If you are a beginner, this is the place to start. You will meet others who can give you advice before you buy any gear. If you are an experienced paddler, this group is an ideal way to meet other paddlers to talk about gear, local paddle spots, and to plan trips. Kayakers of all levels are welcome!</span></p> <p><span>SKG is a forum and a social network, not a club, training facility, or outfitter. All events are common adventures, are</span> <strong>non-autocratic</strong> in nature, and not for profit (unless hosted specifically by a business, institution, or outfitter following a different liability model). SKG, its organizers, and its members assume no legal and or civil responsibility for or to any individual or event.</p> <p><strong><span>We Encourage Safe Paddling</span></strong></p> <p><span>We suggest that everyone paddle in a pod of three or more for safety reasons. The forum makes it possible for novice, intermediate, and advanced kayakers to find each other and form safe paddle pods. The social nature of the group allows members to share safety tips and skills in a non-structured friendly format.  We also try to send information to the group about safe kayaking tips and training.  Occasionally we might have an event just to share and practice (but the group is not a certified kayak training school, vendor, etc).  Safety is your responsibility!</span></p> <p><strong><span>How We Set Up Events</span></strong></p> <p><span>SKG is not a leader-dictated Meetup group, but a member-driven forum. Kayakers are welcome to join the forum and suggest locations for common-adventure paddles.  All members can suggest a place, date, and time for a kayak event.  In fact, SKG relies heavily on individual members to put events on the calendar.</span></p> <p><span>You can schedule member-originated common-adventure paddles</span> in the following ways:</p> <p><span>Whenever you visit the SKG Meetup page</span>, you will see “<strong>+ SUGEST A NEW MEETUP</strong>” just below the word “<strong>Welcome</strong>”… this is the mechanism for scheduling member-originated common-adventure paddles.  Click here and you will be taken to a form that will prompt you to type in the event name, place, date, time, and details for your suggested meetup.  In the details please describe the type of water (protected, open-water, white-water, etc.) and be very specific about the kayak type, skill level, and pace of your suggested paddle (just so others know what to expect of you and the paddle).</p> <p><span>Alternately, you can view others SUGGESTED events to see if there is a suggested event that you might want to attend.</span> Often a member will throw out an idea but not include any details.  You can expand on their suggestion by specifying place, date, time, and details (including type of water) for the suggestion.</p> <p><span>SUGGESTED events become UPCOMING events when two other members decide to attend, making the minimum three person paddle pod. The suggestion moves to the calendar and is announced to the group as an Upcoming event.</span> Sometimes when an event is complete (i.e. name, place, date, time, and details are provided) one of the SKG moderators will announced it to the group with less than three people on the RSVP list to get the word out to all members sooner.  We will not announce suggestions without the basic details.</p> <p><span>Once it is on the calendar your idea is no longer a suggestion, but an event and it gets announced to the group by e-mail.  Whenever you visit the SKG Meetup page</span><span>,</span> <span>you should check the SUGGESTED events page to see if there is a suggested event that you might want to attend.</span></p> <p><span>Many people worry that if they suggest a paddle too many kayakers will show up and they would be responsible for a large group.  Most of the SKG</span> <span>e</span><span>vents attract about 1% of the members, which is about 3 to 6 kayakers. That is just the right size for a group paddle.  Members just need to be specific on the day, time, and place (as well as kayak type, skill level, etc.) when making a suggestion.  The events are common adventures, so you are not responsible for others, just yourself, but there is always safety in numbers.  However, you should be very specific about the kayak type, skill level, and pace (protected, open-water, white-water, etc.) of your suggested paddle.  It is not a good idea for kayakers of a single pod</span> <span>to have</span> <span>a mixed expectation of the paddle... it just leads to disappointment and a paddle pod break down.  In short, be clear in your suggestion description and others with like</span><span>-minded</span> <span>thinking will join you.</span></p> <p><span>SKG wants all its members to feel free to make paddle event suggestions. Such suggestions can be sit-on-top novice paddles in protected waters (i.e. lakes and marshes), intermediate-level day paddles, or advanced-skill sea-kayak paddles. Anyone can take the initiative to add paddle events to the calendar as discribed above... And, this is the best way to get events that work for your personal schedule and skill level so you never have to paddle alone.</span></p> <p><strong><br> </strong></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Please read the The Stamford Kayak Group disclaimer: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/StamfordKayakGroup/messages/boards/thread/3398196"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/StamfordKayakGroup/messages/boards/thread/3398196" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/StamfordKayakGroup/messages/boards/thread/3398196</a></p>
100744572 1706303 <p>WHAT:<br/>We've started a new location UPTOWN! Tired of commuting downtown to a meetup? Join other uptown writers for an hour of focused writing. You will see progress in your writing project by spending the minimum of a single hour per week on it. This is your practice/focus time, so I hope to see you there.</p> <p>WHEN:<br/>7:00pm - Introductions<br/>7:05pm - Shut up &amp; write!<br/>8:05pm - Brief Check-in<br/>8:06pm - People can continue to work, chat, or stick around for trivia night at Indian Road.</p> <p>WHERE: Indian Road Cafe, 600 W 218th St #3, 10034. Take the A or 1 train OR the BX7 or M100 bus.</p> <p>SOME TIPS:<br/>Indian Road is an uphill walk from the train/bus, so plan accordingly.<br/>There are two sections of tables - a large counter space with outlets, and a few high top tables just as you walk in.<br/>It can be dark at the counter tables, so be aware if writing by hand.<br/>If you come late, we might have already started.<br/>The music and occasionally nonmember conversation can be loud, so bring headphones too.<br/>WiFi is available WITH PURCHASE.<br/>Indian Road has delicious coffee, tea, &amp; snacks, so be sure to buy something as they are nice enough to host us.<br/>Please update your RSVP early if you have a change of plans, otherwise, you are taking a spot away from another potential writer.</p> <p>If you're spending too much time THINKING about writing, come and join us for a session of focused writing. It may just be "pipe-cleaning" for now, but you'll feel better showing up at the page. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice.</p> <p>Shut Up and Write! Meetup is a venue for writers to work in the company of other writers on a regular basis. Writing, whether approached as a profession or as an avocation, is an isolating activity. We provide this forum, writing resources and meeting times as a method of developing a community of creative people. We welcome people who are serious about &lsquo;writing down the bones&rsquo; and are looking for the companionship of other writers.</p> <p>Meetup Format <br />Making the time to write one hour per week is an empowering and ultimately rewarding experience but it needs to serve as the foundation of your daily discipline. If you RSVP that you are coming, then please arrive 10-15 minutes before the start of the Meetup. The facilitator will lead introductions and then the group will write for an hour. There will then be 15-30 minutes of social time to get to know each other and possibly discuss personal writing successes such as getting published or overcoming writing resistance in some small way. No critiquing, exercises, lectures, ego, competition or feeling guilty.</p> <p>Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else. <br />Gloria Steinem</p>

The story opens with the narrator’s birth, in the middle of a machine shop on a war-torn planet. Her parents, Alana, a winged soldier from the planet Landfall, and Marko, a horned former prisoner of war from Landfall’s moon, have been on the run from both of their military forces, which are on opposite sides of the never-ending galactic war. Betrayed, the family is almost destroyed just as it forms. Only sheer luck gives Marko, Alana, and their daughter a chance to brave the wilds and make their way in the worlds.</p> <p>Hope to see you all at Professor Thom's on the 24th!</p> <p>At least once a month, we vote on a graphic novel or trade paperback to read.<br> Then we get together to discuss. It's just like a book club, but with comics!</p> <p>From time to time, we'll also have other comic-related events to attend - movies, conventions, and anything else you can think of that might appeal to fans of sequential art.</p> <p>If you're on Facebook, you can join in the group discussion here:</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/NYCComicsAndGraphicNovels/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/NYCComicsAndGraphicNovels/</a></p> <p> </p>

100746332 582365 <p>John Barleycorn in Schaumburg, 7:30.</p> <p><strong style="font-size : medium">11/2/14 - Fall Back to Standard Time</strong></p> <p>We only play on the weekends due to daylight hours. We are still at the Higgins Rd. entrance for now since there are more options for fields &amp; better wind breaks.</p> <p>We have recently adjusted Saturday's time to start at noon.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="font-size : medium">Current Schedule</span></span></strong></p> <p>Saturday Pickup: Noon - around 3:30 PM...ish</p> <p>Sunday Pickup: Noon - around 3:30 PM...ish</p> <p><span>About us -</span> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/about/">http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/about/</a></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration : underline"><span style="font-size : medium">Main Description</span></span></strong></p> <p><strong>First thing, don't speed in the forest preserve</strong>. We've had a few individuals get pulled over / ticketed for going like 25 (the limit is 15).</p> <p><strong>More people show up than the number that RSVP!</strong> We usually have at least two games of 5-on-5 going, and almost, almost always have at least 7-on-7. (Winter games are the exception. We still play, but numbers are often weaker.)</p> <p>We are a pick-up game. Not any sort of championship game. Don't worry about "letting your team down" or anything like that. This is a great way to get outside, get in a good amount of running, and to meet new friends. On Sundays we typically play a little more structured, but it's still the same sort of friendly atmosphere.</p> <p><strong>All ages and ability levels are welcome ~ <em><span style="text-decoration : underline">we really mean this.</span></em></strong> Our youngest player was 10 (now 11 or 12), our oldest 69. We have a group of people that play multiple times a week in leagues, and then we have new players come who we teach to play on the field. Some of us are in really good physical shape - others get winded after a few runs up the field. It is a great time and you will fit right in!</p> <p>The most important thing - this is a pickup game. Our skill levels vary quite a bit. Again, we have league/club/college players and we have completely new folks. If you want to be competitive, match up against someone else playing competitively. If you're a beginner, match up against the other beginners <strong>(And ask questions!)</strong>. We enjoy learning strategy, playing a good game, and getting in a workout - but we are mainly out here to play and <strong>have fun.</strong></p> <p>We distinguish teams by "light" colors (usually white) and "dark" colors (usually everything else). Try to bring a WHITE and a dark (NOT GREY) to each game, so we can make teams even. At the very least, <span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>please don't wear grey.</strong></span> It's neither light nor dark and is really good at confusing people in the heat of the game.</p> <p>The games basically run themselves. So when you come, <strong>just jump in.</strong> Everyone is really friendly. We were all new to the group once before.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration : underline">Extra links:</span></p> <p>Some general tips about playing the game -  <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/ultimatefrisbee-166/pages/Some_Tips_(from_Caz)/</a></p> <p>Unsure of what to do during the "off-season?"

10074687 259030 <p>Hi Everyone,</p> <p>Philip has volunteered to be next-up to lead a ride, this time out of Blue Mountain. Since he doesn't really know the trails, we're going to make this an <b>advanced level only</b> ride. People who are good enough to ride over anything and are in good shape and are willing to explore. Currently, none of the organizers are going we will help manage the people driving/needing rides from the city. Blue Mountain is train accessible if you don't have a car.</p> <p>If you are driving from the city I would say to plan on meeting at 9:00 and be on the road no later than 9:15.</p> <p>As always in your RSVP Please leave the following comment:</p> <p>I am driving and can take ____ people with me<br/>I need a ride from ______<br/>I am driving myself but can't take anyone</p> <p>For those without a car, this place is train accessible.</p> <p>Here's a link with info on Blue Mountain:<br/><a href="http://www.nycmtb.com/trails/bluemountain.html"><a href="http://www.nycmtb.com" class="linkified">http://www.nycmtb.com</a>...</a></p> <p>How to get there:</p> <p>Metro North</p> <p>Train Schedule: <a href="http://mta.info/mnr/html/planning/schedules/pdf/Hudson%20S_S%20June%2011%20Final.pdf"><a href="http://mta.info/mnr/h" class="linkified">http://mta.info/mnr/h</a>...</a></p> <p>$5 Bike Permit for Metro North: <a href="http://www.mta.info/mnr/html/mnrbikepermit.htm"><a href="http://www.mta.info/m" class="linkified">http://www.mta.info/m</a>...</a></p> <p>Driving</p> <p>From south: Route 9A to 9 north. Exit at Welcher Avenue; turn right and follow to park entrance.</p> <p>From north: Route 9 south. Exit at Welcher Avenue; turn left and follow to park entrance.</p> <p>NYCMB is for anyone that shares a passion for mountain biking and trail riding. We are a fully volunteer/no charge/no profit like minded group of people who simply gather to share experiences, discover and explore all the wonderful bike trails in our area that nature has to offer and of course, make new friends.</p> <p>We try to plan different events for all levels of riders, so you don't have to be a downhill racer to be a part of this group. But we do have some pretty strong riders that definitely will make sure you have a great workout if that's what you're after.</p> <p>We ride as a group to enjoy the event together so no one gets left too far behind and no one is pushed beyond their comfort level.</p> <p>>>>We ride through woods on fairly rugged terrain so a true "fat tire" mountain bike, preferably with front suspension, is required.

The Hatchery provides a unique funnel for innovators to interact with a wide range of investors, present their plans, receive expert feedback, bring in strong leadership, and pave the way for them to receive angel and institutional funding. At the heart of The Hatchery's model is the Gauntlet, an interactive process that gives entrepreneurs 7 minutes to present their business models to a range of investors, followed by panel and audience Q&A/critique. Think of it as "American Idol meets Venture Capital."</p> <p>WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?<br> - Great early stage businesses who would like this priceless expert feedback and looking to meet investors.</p> <p>Are You Serious:<br> - 5 minutes to present your concept to the panel. 5 minutes of grilling to see if the concept holds.<br> - To submit to present: pitch@hatchery.vc</p> <p>Gauntlet:<br> see www.hatchery.vc</p> <p>Hatch Match:<br> Held once yearly during New York City's Internet Week</p> <p><a href="http://hatchmatch2010.eventbrite.com" target="_blank">http://hatchmatch2010.eventbrite.com</a></p>

10075118 463260 <p>Hey everyone...we had such a great turn-out for swing class again...We actually had more guys than gals...both classes. WAY TO GO GUYS !!!....so GALS get out and join us ....we want everyone. Add a fun slow dance to your repertoire: Another dance class is in the works. Let’s try a few Ballroom steps----you’ll be the envy of all your friends at the next dancing or wedding event. Ballroom will focus on the classics. We will start with the Fox Trot. It is a fun SLOWer dance that uses the same count as Swing.. So if you have been to the swing classes you already have the count mastered (remember: quick, quick, slow, slow). You can also take this simple step into the Latin Venue (for) with a little different ‘body language’ it becomes the Rumba.</p> <p>The Fox Trot lesson is from 4:30 to 5:30 with a 1 ½ hour dance after. So, plan to stay and practice what you have learned at the dance party until 7 PM. All levels are welcome, including complete beginners: don't feel intimidated if that’s you, the studio is here to help us learn. The instructors will be at the party so you can ask questions or just have fun with everyone there and ‘give it a spin’.</p> <p>GENTLEMAN, GUYS……. Always Remember: On the dance floor the MAN is in charge (by leading his partner). This is one of the few times YOU are in control!! Take advantage! It was fantastic to see so many men at the 1st swing class. Come out for the 2nd swing class AND come try Ballroom too. Don’t forget: women love a guy that will dance. Come and develop your dance skills and confidence: get those ladies following you on the dance floor. This is a great way to learn some dance basics, meet some ladies, make some new friends and ‘get in step’.</p> <p>We really hope to see everyone there! Get out-of-the-house, grab your favorite dance shoes (leather or smooth soles are the best-avoid traction gym shoes) and head out for a fun night of dancing and socializing. If you want to learn more about Studio Viva go to www.studioviva.com There will be no Meet-up fee for this event; the $10 fee is paid directly to Studio Viva.</p> <p>Note: This is usually a $15 class. Take advantage of this opportunity and be sure to sign up for this event. Because we have had so many sign up for swing we are getting a great deal. Please sign up early so we can plan for enough refreshments.</p> <p>If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Light refreshments will be provided.

Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

My question is this: What are people referring to when they say "ethnic food"?</p> <p> </p>

We see reliance on linear, mechanistic thinking, companies focusing more on stock price than delighting customers, and knowledge workers whose voices are ignored by the bosses who direct them. All these factors are reflected in the current economic crisis, increased inequity, bankruptcies and widespread disillusionment.</p> <p>There has to be a better way.</p> <p>We believe that we uncovered some of the common characteristics of that better way. For example, that organizations can become learning networks of individuals creating value and that the role of leaders should include the stewardship of the living rather than the management of the machine.</p> <p>It’s time for the next step in facilitating the tipping point in a radical shift in management thinking. After the initial Stoos meeting, which unsurprisingly took place in Stoos (Switzerland) in January 2012, we had the very successful Stoos Stampede. The first Stampede was held in ‘De Rode Hoed’ in Amsterdam in the summer of 2012. There, many leaders and change agents gathered to talk management and leadership. Also, the foundations for the Dutch Stoos Satellite were laid.</p> <p>Stoos Connect! is is that next step. In celebration of World Stoos Day the Stoos Satellite Netherlands will organise the Stoos Connect in Amsterdam, just like the Stampede. But, in contrast with the Stampede, the entire world can be audience to this fantastic event. We will set up live multimedia streaming so anyone, anywhere, can watch the sessions. This is exactly why this event is called Stoos Connect!</p> <p><br/>During this sizzling day, we will offer lightning talks from a wide spectrum of well respected thought leaders such as Steve Denning, Jurgen Appelo, Niels Pflaeging, Franz Röösli and Dawna Jones. They will make you think, inspire you and tantalize you. If you’re involved in (or impacted by) management in any way, you should attend. Open your mind and be inspired!</p> <p><span>Chicago Agile Open Space (CAOS) is a practitioner-driven community that gathers to share and learn. In the process, we explore a cross-cutting collection of Agile values, principles and practices.</span></p>
10075616 1302186 <p>Hello All,</p> <p>This is an event hosted by the Earth Spiritualists of Chicago but our group would be a welcome addition.</p> <p>Here are the details:</p> <p>Come join us in learning. Come join us in discovery. Come join us in fellowship.</p> <p>TAROT- Beginner's Meetup<br/>PLACE: OCCULT BOOKSTORE, 1164 N Milwaukee Ave Chicago, IL 60626<br/>TIME: 7:00-8:30 PM</p> <p>The first half will be a facilitated discussion on the tarot and its themes. The specific topics to discuss will be drawn at random from a tarot deck. This is a chance to casually learn about the tarot and meet others interested in Tarot.</p> <p>The second half will be a chance for people to practice readings with each other.</p> <p>Many changes are happening in the Wiccan and Pagan communities these days. Years ago, Covens were the main way to be involved with a few Solitary Practitioners to be found. As the Craft has "come out of the broom closet" more information is available than ever before. What does not seem to be there is the sense of Spiritual Community we had all those years ago. We have many wonderful social outlets these days. They serve a tremendous purpose and it is a blessing they exist.</p> <p>However, as times evolve, it seems fair to say our community can evolve as well. What we have created with this meet up is  "Congregational Wicca", a place where people can join together, learn and grow as individual spiritual beings while understanding the basics to build their own foundation. We hope that this idea will find others with a similar interest in joining in a spiritual community.</p> <p>Our meetup format is:</p> <p>-Meet and Greet<br> -Short grounding meditation<br> -Open discussion and Q&amp;A on the meet up topic<br> -Short break<br> -Circle based on the meet up topic (This is a learning circle where all of the steps and symbolism involved in the circle are explained).</p> <p>The discussions are founded in Wiccan teachings of many traditions as well as some philosophy and theology from Buddhism, Shamanism, Transcendentalism and wherever else we may find inspiration. Please join us on this journey.</p>

The event started as a showcase for aspiring rock bands in November 2006, with simple intentions. But after 4 major label artist signings from the first 6 shows, the event quickly became the industry's premiere showcase. Now with a partnership and sponsorship from Universal Motown Records, all performing artists at the showcases get a guaranteed look from Universal. Any record label A &amp; R departments, and the outside public, can come to enjoy the show, usually lasting 3-4 hours. Label staff from Columbia, Epic, Republic, Island, Virgin, Roadrunner, Motown, Atlantic and Verve have all attended previous shows.</p> <p>We are getting an insider's view of, and access to, this amazing event due to the NYC LIVE MUSIC MEETUP'S NEW ASSISTANT ORGANIZER, DREW BELANI!

The wall paintings define the campy, comfortable mood: In a shiny palette of primaries, they depict bikini babes, muscle cars, and portraits of '70s rock and movie icons. Tallbacked red patent leather booths are more than big enough to accommodate the large, loud groups that begin to fill up the space at around 10 p.m. Extra-sweet and solicitous bartenders guide patrons through the extensive and ever-changing roster of tap and bottled."</p> <p>PAPER MAGAZINE<br/>"The attractive happy-hour prices on beer ($3-$4) make it a good time to sample the dozen different ones on tap, from Old Speckled Hen to Hofbrau."</p> <p>THE ANTITOURIST<br/>"The art on the walls is breathtaking. The place itself, architecture wise, is breathtaking, as well.

100760282 608977 <p> </p> <p>**THIS IS AN ADVANCED HIKE ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED BACKPACKERS WITH ALL NECESSARY EQUIPMENT.**</p> <p>We'll be doing a three day, two night backpack in the heart of the Catskills. We'll meet Friday night for a fairly easy 1.5 miles and 750 foot climb to our campsite for the first night, Giant Ledge, which is said to have some of the best views in the Catskills. The next day we'll retrace our steps to the Phoenicia-East Branch trail, which we'll take to its terminus at Woodland Valley. From there we'll take the Wittenberg-Cornell-Slide trail over all three summits to the Curtis-Ormsbee trail, and back to the Phoenicia-East Branch trail and our second campsite near the Neversink River, totaling approximately 14 miles and 4000 feet of elevation. For the final day, we will take the Peekamoose-Table trail over both summits, which is approximately 7.5 miles and 2000 feet of elevation.</p> <p>This is a tough hike loaded with quite a bit of elevation, but includes some of the nicest views in the Catskills. Expect difficult scrambling on sections of the hike and plenty of extended climbs.</p> <p>Giant Ledge At Sunset</p> <p> <img src="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/1/d/0/event_121793712.jpeg" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Giant Ledge</p> <p><img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/3/6/a/event_121794122.jpeg" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Gear List:<br/>Boots<br/>Wicking clothing (no damn cotton!!)<br/>Raingear and proper layers<br/>Tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad<br/>Backpacker stove and water purification method<br/>Food - 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 2 dinners, snacks<br/>First aid kit and personal supplies<br/>Headlamp<br/>Hiking poles (helpful)<br/>Catskills Map #143</p> <p>MEETUP LOCATION: Peekamoose-Table trailhead located on Rte. 42 near Sundown, NY.</p> <p>Disclaimer:<br/>I am not a professional guide and you are at all times responsible for your own safety.

100761832 3351752 <p>Well, it was definitely a close vote, with Little Bee beating out Knitting Under the Influence by two votes, so I will throw that one into next month's round. So it seems that the consensus is that Sunday works best.</p> <p>If anyone is interested in knowing more about the book, here is a link: <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/24/AR2009022403232.html" class="linkified">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/24/AR2009022403232.html</a></p> <p>Happy reading!</p> <p>I decided to start the group because I cannot find a book club that assigns books that are more to my liking. So I am hoping to find other girls who will enjoy the type of books I love to read. I read both fiction and non fiction, but my main interest is stories that touch upon specific things: feminism, sexuality, mental health, etc. So join my group if you are looking to stay local in Brooklyn, like to drink and like to read.</p>

100763552 47098 <p>For Levels 2-4. This is the sequel to Keep of the Everflame<br/>Razmir the Living God used his power to conquer an entire country; now he and his mask-wearing priests enforce peace and generosity—though some say their tools are intimidation and fear. His worshipers preach charity and self-worth, blaming rival faiths for crafting lies about the glories of the Living God. Now the cult has come to the city of Tamran, feeding the poor and promising happiness to those who serve Razmir. Yet ugly rumors persist of bribery, extortion, and strange disappearances associated with the new temple. Are these stories just gossip and lies spread by rival faiths? Or is the church of the Living God more than it seems?</p> <p>Welcome to the NYC D&amp;D Meetup Group!</p> <p>Dungeons and Dragons is <em>the</em> most popular tabletop role-playing game of all time. The game is played with about 6 players. One person takes the role of storyteller, AKA the Dungeon Master, and narrates the story in a medieval fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, romance, intrigue, and adventure. The rest of the players take on the roles of individual fictional characters and explore that world, often becoming heroes in the story. The story is like a completely interactive "choose your own adventure" book. Different shaped dice are used to determine the outcome of attempted actions.</p> <p>Scheduling games of D&amp;D is a little more complicated than just showing up for a game. There are three different ways people assemble to play D&amp;D.</p> <ol> <li>We have the "open to all" meetups that are on the first Saturday of the month in Manhattan and the third Sunday of the month in Brooklyn.</li> <li>We have the RPGA Organized Play meetups which are every Tuesday night.</li> <li>We have "Campaign Gaming" where DMs run longer adventures that span several weeks.</li> </ol> <p> <strong>Please read</strong> this&nbsp; <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYC-DND/messages/boards/thread/4217607">http://www.meetup.com/NYC-DND/messages/boards/thread/4217607</a> on the message board for more clarification.

Our goal is to make this a light-hearted social group in which to meet professional people with similar interests and, most of all, have fun!</p> <p>Our group activities may include events such as--but are not limited to--getting together for dinners, happy hours, picnics, live music/concerts, festivals, night life, dancing, etc. This group is about meeting new friends with similar interests,  socializing and basically just having a great time. We welcome single, not-so-single, divorced, married, partnered, etc., individuals.  Although a lot of our events take place in the Woodridge/Lisle/Downers Grove areas, we do have many friends who live in the immediate surrounding areas--and beyond. <span style="text-decoration : underline">Living in the aforementioned towns is not a requirement of the group.</span></p> <p><strong>In order to join the group, we request that you post as your main photo in your profile a recent--last year or two--close-up facial photo of yourself only in which you are clearly recognizable.  Unless you and another person are joining the group as a couple, it's preferable that you are the only adult in the photo.  It's important that organizers and event hosts--and even the other group members--be able to recognize and properly greet and remember new people at events; we are not able to do that if we don't know what you look like.</strong></p> <p><strong>Acceptance into the group will not take place unless this photo requirement is met. A clear, recognizable picture must remain up as the main picture in the profile throughout membership, or the profile will be taken down as soon as it is noted.</strong></p> <p>We recommend that people list only their first names in their profiles, or their first name and their last-name initial.  While some members do include their complete names, it is not necessary.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>Please don't join this group to:</strong></span></p> <p>1. Promote within our group your own Meetup group or other events and try to recruit members, either at the events, on the message boards or in individual e-mails to members. Anyone who joins our group and attends events solely to promote their own Meetup agenda will be removed from the group.</p> <p>2. Push a political or religious agenda.</p> <p>3. Directly sell or promote a business, products or services at an event, on the message boards, in greeting areas or through individual e-mails to members. Anyone who violates this rule will be banned from the group.</p> <p>4. Blatantly pursue dating opportunities, either at the events,  through the message boards and greetings areas, or in personal e-mails to other members. Posting inappropriate comments on the message boards or in members' personal greetings areas or through e-mail (i.e., rude comments toward other members, invitations for dates, etc.), will not be tolerated and will result in removal from the group.</p> <p>If your only interest in joining this group is to "hook up," then this is not the right group for you. Just a reminder that this is a social group and NOT a singles/matchmaking group. If you hit it off with someone in the group and strike up a relationship that's great, but blatant attempts at hitting on group members who are not receptive to or who are made uncomfortable by those types of advances won't be tolerated.</p> <p>Also, if you network and find someone who performs a service based on their job that is great as well, but our events are not meant to be places where you can come with the intent only to promote a product, a business or a service.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
10076514 1422140 <p>Important updates!!</p> <p>Event will now be starting at 12PM and meeting at the Clam Hut restaurant parking lot</p> <p>Lunch before ride!!</p> <p>Reasons for changes: Traffic delays due to road construction at the park entrance and a big party at the Clam Hut starting at 1PM. I've spoken with the owner and they can get us in before the hamburger/hot dog crowd arrives so we'll be meeting for lunch before the ride and parking in The Clam Hut parking lot. So no traffic issues (fingers crossed!).</p> <p>The weather is looking a little messy with possible thunderstorms so bring a rain jacket if you mind getting wet.

10076529 539939 <p>For April, we're reading <i>The Last Single Woman in America</i> by Cindy Guidry. Remember, if you click to Amazon from the link on <a href="http://www.meetup.com/womensfictionornot/about/">our About Us page</a> and make a purchase, we receive a percentage of the sale!!</p> <p>From Amazon.com:<br/>Realizing she is the only single woman during the bouquet toss at her friend's wedding, Guidry, a former Hollywood film executive, deems herself The Last Single Woman in America. Along with being 40-something and unwed, she had just lost her job and her boyfriend; however, she remains in good humor and believes that with a handful of Dave Matthews CDs she'll be okay. Guidry offers her view on men (feminism has encouraged women to be easy, therefore men no longer appreciate the value of women), the perks of knowledge (why take advanced yoga when you know all the moves in the beginning course) and her take on the Internet (the overconnected Web population is limiting face-to-face contact with such tools as Internet dating), all the while hurdling the obstacles facing single women. If 40 is the new 20, Guidry does a good job portraying this by exhibiting the maturity level of someone half her age, making it hard to believe her anecdotes. At one point, she attacks her mother at a dinner party by questioning whether she slept with a leprechaun to produce her son, Guidry's always lucky brother. While amusing, Guidry barely offers deeper insight than thoughts on bikini waxes and acupuncture sessions for her pet.</p> We are a group of Chicago women in our 20's and 30's looking to read good books, and MOST importantly socialize with other interesting, friendly, and fun women. Please see the "About" link for more information. UPCOMING BOOK SELECTIONS (if chosen): under the "About" link

10076651 136329 <p>There are now enough of us in Queens that we will begin holding regular meetings in Queens as well as in Manhattan. This will be our first meeting in Queens, on the third Thursday of April. (However, after this meeting, we will go back to meeting once per month, on the first Thursday of the month, alternating between Queens and Manhattan locations, both convenient to subways and other public transportation.)</p> <p>For now, both the Queens and Manhattan meetings will just be informal get-togethers for Satanists, Luciferians, "Dark" Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" occultists of all law-abiding kinds, plus open-minded people interested in learning about the many forms of Satanism, Luciferianism, "Dark" Paganism, and LHP occultism. (The organizer is a non-LaVeyan theistic Satanist.)</p> <p>We'll be meeting at a diner in Forest Hills, on Queens Boulevard, near the 71st and Continental Avenue subway station on the E, F, G, and R subway lines. Nearby bus lines include the Q60 and the Q64. We are also near the Forest Hills station on several Long Island Railroad Lines. (From the LIRR station, ask for directions to the subway. We're right next to one of the subway entrances.)</p> <p>Ask a waiter for "Diane Vera's meetup." We will probably be in the FRONT section of the diner (where the tables are). Look for a group of people of whom at least one or two (though probably not all or most of us) will likely be wearing black shirts and/or point-down pentagrams. (However, since Queens folks tend to be more conservative than Manhattan folks, we ask that people not be TOO eye-catchingly dressed at our Queens meetings.)</p> <p>Newcomers are welcome. Diane Vera, the organizer, will make a point of welcoming all who arrive and encouraging all attendees to tell the rest of us a bit about themselves and their beliefs, to facilitate conversation. Although our meetings are informal, we do aim to have substantive conversation about our beliefs and practices, rather than just random chit chat.</p> <p>Please RSVP as soon as you can, with at least a "maybe" if you can't yet say "yes" or "no." The more people RSVP early, the bigger and better our meetups will be, because a reasonably large number of early RSVP's will let other visitors to this site know that we are indeed a live group where they will actually meet some people.</p> <p>If you RSVP "maybe," we would appreciate it very much if you could then change your RSVP to a "yes" or "no" by no later than at least a few days before the event, so that we can have a better idea how big a table to reserve. DV will be calling the diner to reserve a table two or three days before the event.</p> <p>As we grow bigger, we may eventually begin holding more formal meetings with specific topics for discussion, in addition to the informal social gatherings we are holding now.</p> <p>As our group continues to grow, hopefully some of us can eventually organize congregations that get together for rituals. DV would like to form a local congregation of the Church of Azazel ( <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/"><a href="http://www.theisticsa" class="linkified">http://www.theisticsa</a>...</a> ). Others may wish to form congregations centered around other paradigms.</p> <p>Diane Vera, the organizer, is a non-LaVeyan theiistic Satanist. She maintains <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/">a website on theistic Satanism</a>, including the page <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/nyc/">Attention, New Yorkers! (for theistic Satanists in and near New York City)</a>.</p> <p>The NYC Satanists/LHP Discussion Group, also known as New York City Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" Occultists, is one of only a very few Satanist/LHP groups in the entire world that hold regular meetings open to the general public.  We are the oldest such group (founded in 2003) and the easiest way to meet Satanists, LHPers, etc. in NYC.</p> <p>We hold open discussion meetings and informal social gatherings in Manhattan.  We welcome Satanists, Luciferians, "dark" Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" occultists of all law-abiding kinds, theistic or nontheistic.  We also welcome open-minded people interested in learning about the various forms of Satanism, Luciferianism, "Dark" Paganism, and "Left Hand Path" occultism.</p> <p>Our founder, Diane Vera, is a non-LaVeyan theistic ("traditional") Satanist.  She has a <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/" target="_blank">website on theistic Satanism</a>, including a <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/nyc/" target="_blank">page for theistic Satanists in or near New York City</a>, and aims also to build a <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/local/nyc.html" target="_blank">New York City proto-congregation</a> of the <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/" target="_blank">Church of Azazel</a>.  However, this Meetup group (NYC Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists) is NOT just for prospective Church of Azazel members, and not just for theistic Satanists, but aims to welcome all kinds of Satanists, Luciferians, dark Pagans, and Left Hand Path occultists on an equal basis.

10076659 523869 <p>From 1001 Books:<br/>"This is a novel about art, love, race, class, family, England and America, and the beautiful and the ugly. The plot turns around the relations between the Kippses and the Belseys, two families who have directly opposing views on art, politics and religion. The Belseys are a secular ramshackle of a family, anti-war, anti-state religion, anti the idealization of art. The Kippses are right-wing Christians, impassioned by traditional family values, devout in their belief that art is a gift from God. The tension between these two familes, crystallizes around a disagreement about Rembrandt, as both Howard Besley and Monty Kipps are academics writing books about the painter.</p> <p>The beauty of this novel is that, whilst it is organized around a set of apparently stable oppositions, Simth's prose is subtle and nuanced enough to seek out those places where such oppositions are unsettled. At the heart of the novel is a moving relationship between two women, the wives of the egotistical academics Howard and Monty. Their relationship stretches across all of the divides that the novel charts, but they find, to their own constant surprise, that they are able to find some common ground. This novel is a virtual rewriting of Forster's <i>Howard's End</i>, a work in which Forster urges us to "only connect." In rewriting Forster for the new millenium, Zadie Smith has given us some new ways to connect, some new ways to reconcile the differences that separate and define us."</p> <p>I've never read her work before and am really looking forward to this one.</p> <p>If you would like to read those books that you feel you ought to have read but have never gotten around to it, then this is the group for you. Book selections will be chosen from "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die," edited by Peter Boxall. The list of books, which comprises selections in many genres from the 1600s-2000s, is in the Files section. We try to have two meetings per month. The main meeting, which I organize, is dedicated to a more modern classic (post-1900) while the second meeting, led by an assistant organizer, will discuss an older book (pre-1900). Our reading list of past and future book selections also can be found in the Files section. Hope you can join us.</p>

10076719 523869 <p>From Amazon.com:<br/>"First published in 1931, this classic psychological melodrama has been viewed as more of a social document in his tragic legend of the South than mere story. From Popeye, a moonshining racketeer with no conscience and Temple Drake, beautiful, bored and vulnerable, to Harace Benbow, a lawyer of honor and decency wishing for more in his life, and Gowan Stevens, college student with a weakness for drink, Faulkner writes of changing social values and order. A sinister cast peppered with social outcasts and perverts perform abduction, murder, and mayhem in this harsh and brutal story of sensational and motiveless evil.</p> <p>Students of Faulkner have found an allegorical interpretation of "Sanctuary" as a comment on the degradation of old South's social order by progressive modernism and materialistic exploitation. Popeye and his co-horts represent this hurling change that is corrupting the historic traditions of the South, symbolized by Horace Stevens, which are no longer able to protect the victimized Negro and poor white trash due to middle-class apathy and inbred violence.

10076861 523869 <p>From 1001 Books:<br/>"<i>Wide Sargasso Sea</i> is Jean Rhys' literary response to Charlotte Bronte's 1847 novel, <i>Jane Eyre</i>. Rhys takes as her starting point Bronte's animalistic, sexualized depiction of Bertha Mason, Edward Rochester's dangerously insane first wife. In rewriting this literary classic, Rhys allows Antoinette to speak (Bertha is revealed as Rochester's imposed name for his wife) and also explores the uneven desires and fears that have dominated relationships between the Caribbean and Europe. The novel is divided into three parts: in the first, Antoinette gives an account of her unhappy childhood, in the second, Rochester describes his uneasy first marriage, and in the third, we are witness to the confused dreams and thoughts of Antoinette after she has been imprisoned in England. This structure allows Rhys to make explicit connections between the story of <i>Jane Eyre</i> and the violent colonial history underpinning it. Rhys sets the events in <i>Wide Sargasso Sea</i> against slavery's ending in the Caribbean and positions Antoinette - whose mother was from Martinique - between the black and European communities. Her social vulnerability is used by Rhys to explore the colonial relations of desire and identity that Bronte could only imply. The doomed arranged marriage between Antoinette and Rochester is sexually charged and yet profoundly precarious because of the incomprehension and mistrust that both bring to it. In this parallel narrative, Antoinette is no longer merely an insanely vengeful wife, but a tragic victim of a complex historical moment."</p> <p>If you would like to read those books that you feel you ought to have read but have never gotten around to it, then this is the group for you. Book selections will be chosen from "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die," edited by Peter Boxall. The list of books, which comprises selections in many genres from the 1600s-2000s, is in the Files section. We try to have two meetings per month. The main meeting, which I organize, is dedicated to a more modern classic (post-1900) while the second meeting, led by an assistant organizer, will discuss an older book (pre-1900). Our reading list of past and future book selections also can be found in the Files section. Hope you can join us.</p>

100769782 1590195 <p>It's been awhile since we've gotten together, and we've had several new members join over the last couple weeks, so hopefully this is a good chance to get everyone together and Two Door Tavern seems like a great place!</p> <p> </p> <p>If you read a little a<a href="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/f/e/e/event_197960462.jpegbout" class="linkified">http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/f/e/e/event_197960462.jpegbout</a> the place, I think there's a little something for everyone.</p> <p>"At Two Door Tavern we get back to the basics: great food, solid drinks, and take no guest for granted.

10076998 523869 <p>From 1001 Books:<br/>"In a writing career that produced many masterpieces, <i>Murphy</i> is perhaps the most continuously delightful and engagingly disengaged Beckett wrote. Almost a conventional novel, lacking the rigorous austerity and reflexivity of Beckett's later novels, <i>Murphy</i> is closer in spirit to the play and psuedo-erudition of <i>Tristam Shandy</i>, with more than occasional hints of Joycean wit and Rabelaisian materialism. From the off, the novel takes lapidary strikes at the lazy pomp of the omniscient narrator. Dead phrases are turned over with amused scorn - "And life in his mind gave him pleasure, such pleasure that pleasure was not the word." Between arcane referentiality and lexical flicks, the jokes come thick and fast, so fast that thick is not the word.</p> <p>The novel tells of the adventures of Murphy in London, with a particularity of unspecified urban geography unusual in Beckett's work. Aspiring to freedom and a quality of stillness in a rocking chair. Murphy variously attempts to avoid getting caught up in anything resembling a plot, but nevertheless finds himself propelled into misadventures with sundry implausible creations. Among other escapades, Murphy runs away from his betrothed, shacks up with a prostitute, and finds relatively gainful employment in a mental institution where he plays a peculiar brand of pacifist chess. Murphy dies in an accident, the revelation of which would only spoil what little suspense and final uplift the novel can offer. Notably buoyant among many bits of bravura narration is the description of Murphy's "mind," but perhaps the most lasting glow to emanate from this comic romance is the brio with which it resists the temptations and literary tedium of its darker leanings. A great way into Beckett, and a great way out."</p> <p>We had to do Beckett, en route to Joyce at some point. Don't worry this and "Ulysses" some time in the late summer are going to be the only ones where I'm asking you all to stretch it a bit. Most of the rest of the picks for the year are going to be more conventional narratives.</p> <p>And remember the key is: "A great way into Beckett, and a great way out."</p> <p>If you would like to read those books that you feel you ought to have read but have never gotten around to it, then this is the group for you. Book selections will be chosen from "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die," edited by Peter Boxall. The list of books, which comprises selections in many genres from the 1600s-2000s, is in the Files section. We try to have two meetings per month. The main meeting, which I organize, is dedicated to a more modern classic (post-1900) while the second meeting, led by an assistant organizer, will discuss an older book (pre-1900). Our reading list of past and future book selections also can be found in the Files section. Hope you can join us.</p>

10077093 421614 <p>This meeting's agenda will be: (1) To share information about the religious right wing's activities here in New York State (including New York City) and New Jersey. (Diane has been researching this recently.) (2) To brainstorm ways we can educate NYC-area gays, Pagans, atheists, etc. about the religious right wing.</p> <p>Too many New Yorkers, including gays, Pagans, atheists, etc., are ignorant about the religious right wing. Many people assume -- wrongly -- that the religious right wing is dead or dying. Hence too many people assume, for example, that it's a foregone conclusion that the New York State same-sex marriage bill will pass in the State Senate, and that we, the people, don't have to do anything to help make it pass -- or to keep it in place once it is passed. In fact, as recently as November 2008, the religious right wing had sufficient muscle and money to scare the Californian populace into voting for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_8_(2008)">Proposition 8</a>, an anti-gay amendment to the California state constitution. Since then, the religious right wing is now focussing on New York State.</p> <p>How can we make people more aware? Let's brainstorm ways to do this.</p> <p>Our meeting, over dinner, will be preceded and followed by some time for informal socializing.</p> <p>We welcome all who oppose the religious right wing. We especially welcome people who can inform us about issues affecting their own particular minority group or subculture.</p> <p>We'll be meeting at a diner on 23rd Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, closer to 7th. (The exact address will be visible to you once you join this Meetup group.) The nearest subway stop is 23rd Street on the 1, 2, and 3 lines (7th Avenue). Other nearby subway stops are 23rd Street on the F line (6th Avenue), and 23 Street on the E and C lines (8th Avenue).</p> <p>Ask a waiter for "New Yorkers Against Religion-Based Bigotry."</p> <p>We'll be at a table (or possibly a booth) near the BACK of the diner. There will be some NYARBB literature on the table.</p> <p>By "religion-based bigotry," we mean both (1) bigotry against people because of their religion (or lack thereof) and (2) bigotry rooted in or excused by religion, e.g. bigotry against gays. NYARBB aims to oppose the religious right wing on many different fronts. For information about New Yorkers Against Religion-Based Bigotry, please see the NYARBB main website ( http://nyarbb.com/ ) and the NYARBB blog ( http://blog.nyarbb.org/ ). See especially the main site's "About NYARBB" page ( http://nyarbb.com/about.html ). In addition to our own meetings, this Meetup site will also contain announcements of some non-NYARBB events that look interesting. These will be listed on the calendar as "Notes" rather than as "Meetups." If our next meeting is more than a week in the future, please scroll down below "Our next Meetup" to "More upcoming Meetups," where there will likely be notes about upcoming events that are scheduled sooner than our own next meeting. Occasionally you may see "Our next Meetup: None scheduled," below. If so, please look further down this page to "More upcoming Meetups," where there will probably be some notes announcing other events. (And there WILL be more meetings of our own scheduled in the future, even if there isn't always a meeting announced here.)</p>

100775322 360241 <p>JUMP, JUMP AROUND! JUMP UP AND GET DOWN!</p> <p>Well after talking to a few people this weekend I found that a few others were interested in checking out the trampoline park in Carol Stream, “Xtreme Trampoline”. The idea is to go, practice jumping around and get comfortable with being in the air and practice spinning or any other snowboard related moves in a safe environment. I have never been so I don’t have too many details and have never done this before but it was an idea I had recently to try it out. I know they have a bunch of trampolines and even a foam pit to jump into so there should be a lot of things you can try and practice.</p> <p><br/>Xtreme Trampolines</p> <p>485 Mission Street, Carol Stream, IL</p> <p>(630)[masked] () · xtremetrampolines.com</p> <p>Boarders welcome!!! Even though the resorts near Chicago never break the top 100 places to board in US, we're just glad the winter is cold and long.  We are a fun group of shredders, ranging from beginners to national competitors so you'll always be able to find someone to shred with.  Membership is free but the meetup site does cost money so we do encourage members to show support by purchasing WCB bandanas, stickers or shirts.</p> <p>You may also be wondering what we'll be doing off season. Well, some of us get together to longboard, inline skate, bike, play beach vball, and most importantly PARTY!! Everyone's welcome! (even skiers!)</p> <p>If you are looking for some Gear check out<br> http://windycityboarders.spreadshirt.com/</p> <p>MEETUP Guidelines</p> <p>1. Please use your real name. If worried about privacy or whatever, use only your first name because some stores ask for the list of the members for special benefits.</p> <p>2. We also have a facebook group and facebook page if you have a facebook account.  Search for "Windy City Boarders".  Discussions/Conversations are much more active on Facebook, however all the official meetups will still be scheduled on meetup.com.</p> <p>3.

10077664 1331477 <p>This loop hike encircles the Watchung Reservation, passing ruins of an old mill, an historic village, a cemetery dating to the 1700s, a scenic gorge and an attractive lake.The Length is about 8.5 miles and the<br/>Difficulty is easy to moderate.<br/>While there are playgrounds,golf courses, stables and a museum within the reservation, much of the 1,945 acre (7.8 km²) parcel is forested, and managed for the preservation of its natural resources. The most popular recreational activities in the reservation are hiking and horseback riding on its many trails. The county-owned Watchung Stables are located on a large cleared area in the eastern end of the park, and at the center is the Trailside area, a large park with picnic tables and playground equipment. The Trailside Museum and Nature Center is at the southern edge, along Coles Avenue in Mountainside. Climbers within the state have been drawn to the bouldering opportunities on the cliffs along the brook and Diamond Hill Road at the Watchung's western boundary, although that is not permitted and indeed actively discouraged by the county.<br/>The land in the reservation has never been pristine and undeveloped either before or after the reservation's establishment. An entire village, Feltville, once existed in the woods in the northwestern quadrant. One popular hike in the western reservation goes through a pine plantation left by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.<br/>Twice higher levels of government have taken land in the reservation, over heavy public protest, for their own purposes. The first time was in the late 1950s when the U.S. Army built a Nike missile base and operated it between 1957 and 1963; it is today the site of the stables. A lasting effect on the reservation came in the 1980s when, following years of litigation and public activism, the New Jersey Department of Transportation got approval for the completion of Interstate 78 through the northern fringe of the reservation. Land bridges were built to allow wildlife to travel between both parts of the Watchung unmolested, though in the end they were not used by animals.</p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">Come have a good time and meet other local outdoor enthusiasts.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">We focus on having a good time and being kind to our shared lands!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">All day hikes are free!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">We are always looking to introduce experienced hikers to novices.

The year was 1977: the city was in the suffocating grip of a heat wave, nerves were rattled due to the energy crisis, and the social unrest was growing. But when the sun went down over the city, the nightlife flourished. The discos were paced, cocaine was all the rage at Studio 54, and over at CBGB the punks were smashing it up. Inspired by the open sexuality in gay clubs all across town, Larry Levenson hatched the idea to open a club where people could have sex freely, without shame or threat of lawful consequences. On the surface Levenson appeared to be just your average family man, but by night he would leave his wife at home to live it up at local swingers clubs. It was with the help of some particularly shady investors, as well as his girlfriend Mary and a series of steamy public access commercials, that Levonson made his dreams of opening an extravagant, heterosexual sex club a reality. There were no inhibitions at Plato's Retreat, as highlighted by the numerous vintage clips showing the swingers paradise in its heyday. But while the city ultimately failed in their efforts to pass ordinances that would close Plato's Retreat, the club flourished until the closing it's doors on New Year's Eve 1985, an erotic casualty of the growing AIDS crisis. Interviews with Melvin Van Peebles, Ed Koch, as well as other journalists, celebrities, and actual club employees paint a vivid image of the carefree era before sexuality was a matter of life and death. - Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide</p> <p>THEN AFTER THE MOVIE:<br/>THOSE WHO WANT TO COME WE ARE GOING TO<br/>CAFE WHA!!

100780642 2091921 <p>All righty. A Friday evening of Boggle at a popular midtown restaurant that serves good food and breakfast 24/7.  You should order something, even coffee or a dessert is fine. We'll be in the back section. Hope you can make it. </p> <p>This is a group for fans of the word game Boggle. We play Big Boggle with the 5 X 5 grid and the new SUPER BIG BOGGLE with a 6 X 6 grid and a four minute timer. We are NOT endorsed or sponsored by Hasbro, Parker Brothers or any other game company. Meetups will take place in Manhattan, afternoons on weekends, evenings on weekdays. </p>
10078086 136329 <p>Informal get-together for Satanists, Luciferians, "Dark" Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" occultists of all law-abiding kinds, plus open-minded people interested in learning about the many forms of Satanism, Luciferianism, "Dark" Paganism, and LHP occultism. (The organizer is a non-LaVeyan theistic Satanist.)</p> <p><b><i>Note our venue, new as of several months ago</i>.</b> (Name and exact location further down on this page.) Still a diner, with similar pricing, but somewhat better food and close to more subways. It's on 23rd Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, closer to 7th. (The exact address will be visible to you once you join this Meetup group.) The nearest subway stop is 23rd Street on the 1, 2, and 3 lines (7th Avenue). Other nearby subway stops are 23rd Street on the F line (6th Avenue), and 23 Street on the E and C lines (8th Avenue).</p> <p>We'll be meeting at a table in the BACK of the diner. Please ask a waiter about "Diane Vera's meetup." At least one or two of us, though probably not most of us, will be wearing black shirts and/or point-down pentagram pendants of some kind. (If you arrive early and are the first to arrive, please have a seat in the BACK of the diner and let the waiter know that you are here for "Diane Vera's meetup.")</p> <p>Newcomers are welcome. Diane Vera, the organizer, will make a point of welcoming all who arrive and encouraging all attendees to tell the rest of us a bit about themselves and their beliefs, to facilitate conversation. Although our meetings are informal, we do aim to have substantive conversation about our beliefs and practices, rather than just random chit chat.</p> <p>Note: The diner where we're meeting now charges a $5 per person mininum.</p> <p>Please RSVP as soon as you can, with at least a "maybe" if you can't yet say "yes" or "no." The more people RSVP early, the bigger and better our meetups will be, because a reasonably large number of early RSVP's will let other visitors to this site know that we are indeed a live group where they will actually meet some people.</p> <p>If you RSVP "maybe," we would appreciate it very much if you could then change your RSVP to a "yes" or "no" by no later than at least a few days before the event, so that we can have a better idea how big a table to reserve. DV will be calling the diner to reserve a table two or three days before the event.</p> <p>As we grow bigger, we may eventually begin holding more formal meetings with specific topics for discussion, in addition to the informal social gatherings we are holding now.</p> <p>As our group continues to grow, hopefully some of us can eventually organize congregations that get together for rituals. DV would like to form a local congregation of the <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/">Church of Azazel</a>. Others may wish to form groups centered around other paradigms.</p> <p>Diane Vera, the organizer, is a non-LaVeyan theiistic Satanist. She maintains <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/">a website on theistic Satanism</a>, including the page <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/nyc/">Attention, New Yorkers!

100780982 1688640 <p>“A turned-on woman ignites other women. She refuses to deal in the accepted inter-female commerce of one-downmanship, publicly cataloging all the ways her life isn’t going well to make other women feel safe. She understands that while she may find comfort in processing and commiserating with her sisters, soothing and colluding with them, such comfort is not her aim. A world of turned-on women is her aim. The generous step is to point other women evermore in the direction of wakefulness, using her own turn-on to foster genius in those around her. She is not afraid to stand alone if necessary. She knows the value of solitude and is not afraid of loneliness when the turn-on of other women is at stake”</p> <p>The Turned-On Woman’s Manifesto<br/>www.turnedonwoman.com</p> <p>Girls just wanna have fun... and you have more fun when you're with your girlfriends.  Meet new girl (and guy) friends at events like:</p> <ul> <li>Cocktail Parties</li> <li>Fashion Shows</li> <li>Rooftop Parties</li> <li>Party Cruises</li> <li>Broadway Shows</li> <li>Singles Nights</li> <li>Girls Night Out!</li> </ul> <p> </p>
100780992 1061636 <p>Meditations are highly beneficial to do in a group on full moon days. Please join us for this free one hour event on the full moon evening. Learn tools for improving your health, increasing your energy and feeling more joyful. Experience gentle stretching, energizing and relaxing breathing techniques and a group guided meditation.</p> <p>More reasons to join us for this event......</p> <p>The mind and the moon are connected, and on full moon days the mind is very light. Meditating on full moon nights brings emotional stability and a sense of peace and calmness.</p> <p>The moon has a strong influence on the huge oceans, whose tides rise and fall according to the lunar cycles. In the same way the moon has a sway on the human body, which is made-up of 60 percent water. The moon has also an influence on the mind. In ancient texts, the mind is connected with the moon and the full moon is a symbol of completion and pinnacle of celebration.</p> <p>Full moon meditation is best done after moon rise - directly or indirectly one should feel the moonlight falling on themselves, on your face...let your mind absorb the light of the full moon.</p> <p>Hosted by the Art of Living Foundation, an international non-profit organization founded in 1982 that has helped millions of people in over 150 countries dramatically improve the quality of their health and their lives!<br/>This event is FREE but RSVP is a must!<br/>Thank you for your interest!</p> <p>If you are looking to explore Yoga and/or Meditation...

10078195 136329 <p>Our regular monthly dinner gathering in Manhattan. Approximately half the meeting will be devoted to a specific topic: the future of Satanism. All those attendees who have opinions on this matter will be invited to share and discuss them. Diane, the founder of this group, will also give a brief overview of the history of Satanism these past several decades.</p> <p>Are there any specific ways you would like to see the Satanist scene change in the future? Would you like to see it grow? Should we care about whether it grows or not? (Some Satanists think we shouldn't.) For those of us who would like to see it grow, are there any ways that the Satanist scene needs to change in order to grow? If so, what kinds of changes are needed? Different kinds of Satanists are likely to have very different opinions on these matters.</p> <p>The remainder of the meeting will be our usual informal get-together. We welcome Satanists, Luciferians, "Dark" Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" occultists of all law-abiding kinds, plus open-minded people interested in learning about the many forms of Satanism, Luciferianism, "Dark" Paganism, and LHP occultism. (The organizer is a non-LaVeyan theistic Satanist.)</p> <p>We meet at a diner, conveniently located in Manhattan, near lots of subways and only a 10-minute walk from Penn Station. (Name and exact location further down on this page.) It's on 23rd Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, closer to 7th. The nearest subway stop is 23rd Street on the 1, 2, and 3 lines (7th Avenue). Other nearby subway stops are 23rd Street on the F line (6th Avenue), and 23 Street on the E and C lines (8th Avenue). For those coming from outside the city, the diner is also near the PATH train station at 23rd Street and 6th Avenue, and it is approximately a 10-minute walk from Penn Station.</p> <p>We'll be meeting at a table in the BACK of the diner. Please ask a waiter about "Diane Vera's meetup." At least one or two of us, though probably not most of us, will be wearing black shirts and/or point-down pentagram pendants of some kind. (If you arrive early and are the first to arrive, please have a seat in the BACK of the diner and let the waiter know that you are here for "Diane Vera's meetup.")</p> <p>Newcomers are welcome. Diane Vera, the organizer, will make a point of welcoming all who arrive and encouraging all attendees to tell the rest of us a bit about themselves and their beliefs, to facilitate conversation. Although our meetings are informal, we do aim to have substantive conversation about our beliefs and practices, rather than just random chit chat.</p> <p>Please plan to spend a minimum of $5 (per person) for food and/or drinks, so that the diner where we meet will continue to welcome our business.</p> <p>Please RSVP as soon as you can, with at least a "maybe" if you can't yet say "yes" or "no." The more people RSVP early, the bigger and better our meetups will be, because a reasonably large number of early RSVP's will let other visitors to this site know that we are indeed a live group where they will actually meet some people.</p> <p>If you RSVP "maybe," we would appreciate it very much if you could then change your RSVP to a "yes" or "no" by no later than at least a few days before the event, so that we can have a better idea how big a table to reserve. DV will be calling the diner to reserve a table two or three days before the event.</p> <p>As we grow bigger, we may eventually begin holding more formal meetings with specific topics for discussion, in addition to the informal social gatherings we are holding now.</p> <p>As our group continues to grow, hopefully some of us can eventually organize congregations that get together for rituals. Diane Vera, the organizer of this Meetup Group, is also in process of forming the <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/local/nyc.html">local NYC proto-congregation</a> of the <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/">Church of Azazel</a>.

100782262 455483 <p>What is a TurnOn Event?<br/>TurnOn: [turn on] v. sensations occurring in the body</p> <p>Increased body heat<br/>Tingling and chills<br/>Flushing cheeks<br/>Feeling of being awake and alive<br/>At OneTaste, we believe TurnOn is the ignition that leads to a more of what we really want in life. It is the first step to knowing what's possible. And, it comes when we get real about the powerful stuff of relationships, Orgasm, intimacy, desire, etc.</p> <p>So, we started an evening event designed specifically to give people the opportunity to feel TurnON in themselves. It's an evening where, through only talking, we begin to experience these exhilarating, energizing, often ignored feelings -- referred to as TurnON. A room of people (cool, fun people) engage in honest, humorous, playful conversation around topics we mostly only consider having in our head.</p> <p>Through 3 guided, round-robin style games, express yourself and gain new (and maybe surprising) insight into yourself and others. Fear, longing, taboo, love... Be with others who are willing to express it openly and be seen for who they really are. It's like a giant exhale when the rest of the world is asking you to hold it in.</p> <p>For a taste of the evening's games, check out this clip from a recent episode on the Chopra Network:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OWkv9zms4E&amp;list=SPF72E690B227EFAC1&amp;feature=player_embedded" class="embedded">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OWkv9zms4E&amp;list=SPF72E690B227EFAC1&amp;feature=player_embedded</a></p> <p>TurnOn leads to authenticity AND authenticity leads to the kind of connection we hope for around the globe. Come feel it for yourself!</p> <p>Doors close at 8:15pm! Please arrive by 8pm.<br/>$10 at door (no one turned away for lack of funds)</p> <p>For questions feel free to contact Andrea Marz at [masked] or[masked]</p> <p>Having a human life is rare; It's like choosing one speck of sand from the trillions of grains on the beach and saying you will know what it is to exist. You will be selfaware, and you will have the uniqueness of language.</p> <p>With the sibling rivalries, controversies between co-workers, hating our boss, bitter disagreements with, and dissapiontments from our parents, our friends, etc.... We miss this piont.</p> <p>Happiness, anger, love, hate, compasion, jealousy, forgivness, vengfulness, etc... can all be experienced in the context of Joy.</p> <p>So what is Joy. You can have joy by making room for all of this to happen. To be willing to be with and experience the ups and downs of life. Life is a roller coaster, and is never a striaght line. Going through, and working with our emotions (ironically) is the only way to get past them. Unfortunately, we (human beings) hardly ever do that. Instead, we eat too much, we drink too much, we never have enough sex, we watch too much TV, we take drugs, we smoke, we neglect our responsibilities, we pretend it's not happening, etc... anything to get away from our socalled negative emotions.</p> <p>Joy is not having to avoid our feelings, or people, or places. Joy is being able to embrace life with all its complexities. Until we learn to do this, life will continuously shrink us, and as we age, it will only get worse. We get locked into our patterns of avoidance.</p> <p>This group is designed to help realize the path of Joy which is the ultimate key to enlightenment.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

We'll then split up and the experienced riders/skiers will join me as we head up the mountain for a few hours of fun.</p> <p>At midday, we'll all meet at the lodge for lunch to laugh about how our mornings went and to nurse our bruises. After lunch I'll join the beginners on the slopes for a bit to help them out with their newly learned skills while the others can spend a few more hours exploring the mountain before we call it a day.</p> <p><b>Then Important Stuff ...</b></p> <p>The regular cost for an adult weekend lift ticket at the mountain is $72.00 but special pricing of <b>$39.95</b> is available for this date through <a href="http://www.potterbrothers.com/p-933-windham-mountain-flex-1.aspx"><i><b>Potter Brothers Ski Shop</b></i></a>. The discount lift ticket <b>MUST</b> be purchased either online and mailed to you, or purchased at one of their stores in the upstate NY area -- there is one on the way to Windham if you are driving.  <i>If you plan to buy online, do so in enough time for the pass to get to you by mail.</i> Rentals on mountain for Skis and Snowboards start at $40.00 for the complete package. If you only need to rent certain pieces of gear, prices vary. Group lessons are $34.00 for one hour and forty-five minutes of instruction. If you don't have your own gear, there is a group lesson package for $89.00 that includes everything you need including a lower-mountain lift ticket. The first class is at 10:00 AM and I definitely recommend you take one if you are a beginner or want to brush up on your skills -- the learning curve is reduced dramatically and the fun factor increases with a little bit of professional instruction. Bus operators offer packages that include transportation, lift passes, equipment rentals and lessons, often at a lower combination price.  Please visit the tour operator's websites below for details and costs. RSVP <b>only if you seriously plan to attend</b> as space is limited. If you RSVP and I notice you have a number of no shows or a history of last minute cancellations, you will be removed. Rain cancels the meetup. <b>How To Get There ...</b></p> <p>By Bus:</p> <p>There are numerous companies that operate bus trips to Windham Mountain and have pick up locations in Manhattan and other areas of the city. Trips usually include transportation and lift ticket, but many operators offer packages that also include equipment and lessons.</p> <p>Click the following tour operators to take a look and see what package best suits you: <i><b><a href="http://www.urbansherpatravel.com/">NYC Ski and Board</a>, <a href="http://www.emiliosskishop.com/">Emilio's Ski and Snowboard</a>, <a href="http://www.bladesnyc.com/">Blades NYC</a>, <a href="http://www.islandskitours.com/">Island Ski Tours</a>,</b></i> and <i><b><a href="http://www.newyorkmountaintours.com/trips/winter.html">New York Mountain Tours</a></b>.</i></p> <p>After you plan your trip, make a comment under your RSVP to let others know so you can have a little company for the ride.</p> <p>Driving:</p> <p>From Exit 21 on I-87/New York State Thruway, Windham is 23 miles on state highway Route 23 (which is a well-maintained route all year round).</p> <p><i>If you plan to drive and are willing to carpool, please post in your RSVP where you are leaving from and how many people you can carry. If you'd like to carpool with someone please post your request and where you are located. Please don't wait to be offered a ride, BE PROACTIVE and contact any drivers directly to work out transportation details. As  courtesy, passengers should pick up tolls and gas.</i></p> <p>The mission of this group is exactly what the name implies, we want to provide good company and a positive atmosphere to experience those things that, for whatever reason, you either weren't able to do before or don't get to do often enough. To work toward that, we try to offer a wide variety of things for you to do with us. We try to cater to the interests of as many people as possible. But we are few and you are many, and this means to do what we want as well as possible, we need your help. Feel free to email me with any suggestions you might have. We won't do everything, but I can promise that we'll give everything fair consideration. This group is special because of its members, and I look forward to meeting and building new experiences with as many of you as possible. Hope to see you soon!</p>

Yum.</p> <p>In New York Magazine's <i>Where to Eat 2013</i>, Adam Platt highlighted Empellon Cocina in the brunch section saying:</p> <p><b>The focused brunch menu contains exotic delicacies like slow-poached eggs with challah toast and green-chorizo gravy, and a delicious version of chilaquiles chopped into crunchy little squares and topped with black beans and two sunny-side-up eggs. Most exotic of all, though, is the lobster dish, which Stupak serves as a kind of communal fondue made with chunks of fresh Maine lobster and melted Spanish tetilla cheese, with a stack of warm hand-rolled flour tortillas on the side.</b></p> <p> </p> <p>I don't know about you - but my mouth is already watering!</p> <p> </p> <p><b>As always, please take your RSVP seriously. I will ask that you confirm your attendance at least 48 hours before the meetup.</b></p> <p>New York City is home to a neverending list of lovely restaurants and dining locales. It is also home to an amazingly diverse group of smart and interesting people. The purpose of this group is to bring these two things together. The agenda? It is simple - 1. We'll pick the restaurant (requirements: in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens with delicious food and an enticing cocktail menu). 2. We'll make a reservation for 6. 3. 5 people sign-up (requirements: ages 21-35 and loves to eat, drink, and talk!) 4. We dine (and drink!) Once you RSVP yes, it means you are committing to attending the meet-up. 36-48 hours before each meetup one of the organizers will request that you will once more confirm your attendance. No-shows will be removed from the group.</p>
10078272 136329 <p>There are now enough of us in Queens that we will begin holding regular meetings in Queens as well as in Manhattan. Meetings will be held on the first Thursday of the month, alternating between Manhattan and Queens.</p> <p>For now, both the Queens and Manhattan meetings will just be informal get-togethers for Satanists, Luciferians, "Dark" Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" occultists of all law-abiding kinds, plus open-minded people interested in learning about the many forms of Satanism, Luciferianism, "Dark" Paganism, and LHP occultism. (The organizer is a non-LaVeyan theistic Satanist.)</p> <p>We'll be meeting at a diner in Forest Hills, on Queens Boulevard, near the 71st and Continental Avenue subway station on the E, F, G, and R subway lines. Nearby bus lines include the Q60 and the Q64. We are also near the Forest Hills station on several Long Island Railroad Lines. (From the LIRR station, ask for directions to the subway. We're right next to one of the subway entrances.)</p> <p>Ask a waiter for "Diane Vera's meetup." We will probably be in the FRONT section of the diner (where the tables are). Look for a group of people of whom at least one or two (though probably not all or most) will likely be wearing black shirts and/or point-down pentagrams. (However, since Queens folks tend to be more conservative than Manhattan folks, we ask that people not be TOO eye-catchingly dressed at our Queens meetings.)</p> <p>Newcomers are welcome. Diane Vera, the organizer, will make a point of welcoming all who arrive and encouraging all attendees to tell the rest of us a bit about themselves and their beliefs, to facilitate conversation. Although our meetings are informal, we do aim to have substantive conversation about our beliefs and practices, rather than just random chit chat.</p> <p>Please RSVP as soon as you can, with at least a "maybe" if you can't yet say "yes" or "no." The more people RSVP early, the bigger and better our meetups will be, because a reasonably large number of early RSVP's will let other visitors to this site know that we are indeed a live group where they will actually meet some people.</p> <p>If you RSVP "maybe," we would appreciate it very much if you could then change your RSVP to a "yes" or "no" by no later than at least a few days before the event, so that we can have a better idea how big a table to reserve. DV will be calling the diner to reserve a table two or three days before the event.</p> <p>As we grow bigger, we may eventually begin holding more formal meetings with specific topics for discussion, in addition to the informal social gatherings we are holding now.</p> <p>As our group continues to grow, hopefully some of us can eventually organize congregations that get together for rituals. DV would like to form a local congregation of the Church of Azazel ( <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/"><a href="http://www.theisticsa" class="linkified">http://www.theisticsa</a>...</a> ). Others may wish to form congregations centered around other paradigms.</p> <p>Diane Vera, the organizer, is a non-LaVeyan theiistic Satanist. She maintains <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/">a website on theistic Satanism</a>, including the page <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/nyc/">Attention, New Yorkers! (for theistic Satanists in and near New York City)</a>.</p> <p>The NYC Satanists/LHP Discussion Group, also known as New York City Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" Occultists, is one of only a very few Satanist/LHP groups in the entire world that hold regular meetings open to the general public.  We are the oldest such group (founded in 2003) and the easiest way to meet Satanists, LHPers, etc. in NYC.</p> <p>We hold open discussion meetings and informal social gatherings in Manhattan.  We welcome Satanists, Luciferians, "dark" Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" occultists of all law-abiding kinds, theistic or nontheistic.  We also welcome open-minded people interested in learning about the various forms of Satanism, Luciferianism, "Dark" Paganism, and "Left Hand Path" occultism.</p> <p>Our founder, Diane Vera, is a non-LaVeyan theistic ("traditional") Satanist.  She has a <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/" target="_blank">website on theistic Satanism</a>, including a <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/nyc/" target="_blank">page for theistic Satanists in or near New York City</a>, and aims also to build a <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/local/nyc.html" target="_blank">New York City proto-congregation</a> of the <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/" target="_blank">Church of Azazel</a>.  However, this Meetup group (NYC Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists) is NOT just for prospective Church of Azazel members, and not just for theistic Satanists, but aims to welcome all kinds of Satanists, Luciferians, dark Pagans, and Left Hand Path occultists on an equal basis. (See <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/bgoat/essays/What-Is-S.html" target="_blank">What is Satanism?</a> for the most general definition of "Satanism.")</p> <p>Our <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/events/calendar/">calendar page</a> lists not only our own meetings, but also some other events <strong><em>not</em></strong> sponsored by this group <em>per se</em> but organized by regularly-attending members of our group.  (In the past, such events have included music concerts by one of our members -- see our page <a target="_blank">To musicians, artists, writers, etc.</a>.)</p> <p>At some point we may begin (again) holding private meetings (as we did briefly in summer 2009 and winter/spring 2010) as well as open meetings.  To become eligible to be considered for full active membership and thus be welcome at private meetings, a person must either (1) attend (and RSVP for) three of our open meetings or (2) be recommended by at least two of our members who have gotten to know the person outside of meetings.</p> <p>Note that active membership, as defined above, is not the same thing as membership in this Meetup group.  Anyone may join this Meetup group.  All who wish to attend our open meetings should join this Meetup group and RSVP for the meetings.</p> <p>Please note:  The "Latest activity" feed on the front page of this Meetup site is set up <strong><em>not to display</em></strong> member joins, member greetings, or  RSVP's.  However, member profiles <strong><em>are</em></strong> displayed in the <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/members/" target="_blank">Members</a> area of this Meetup site.  If you want other members to contact you via Meetup, please fill out your profile, which will move automatically to the top of the list every time you visit this Meetup site.  If you want to participate in this Meetup group in a manner that will appear on the front page, not just on the Menbers page or on the pages of events that you RSVP for, please participate in discussions on our <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/boards/" target="_blank">message board</a>.</p> <p>Please note also:  This group is not a dating service.  When writing your member profile, please refrain from making it sound like a personal ad.  However, if one of your aims here is to find a potential spouse, life partner, lover, or playmate, you are welcome to post a G-rated personal ad in the <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/messages/boards/forum/1410675" target="_blank">Services for our members -- ads, announcements, and recommendations</a> section of our message board.</p> <p>Our message board has the following sections:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/messages/boards/forum/1410673" target="_blank">Announcements</a>:  News about this group.

Join Swami X as he guides you through a hatha yoga class where we explore our unique expression of yoga. Become a yoga rebel-utionary and not just a part of another army of fools. The class is by donation, no minimum, no maximum.</p> <p>This will be an outdoor class, so dress in layers, bring water, bring a mat if you'd like (sometimes early there is dew.) I "may" push the time back if I find in my scouting that the morning dew doesn't dry enough but doubtful. And I will give my cel number to anyone who rsvp's yes, so in case there is difficulty in finding the location I can do my best to guide you. Once 10:00 hits, the cel goes off and I leave for the location to play yoga. SHOW UP ON TIME.</p> <p>Bringing yoga out of the studio, not just physically but the principles as well. Various outdoor yoga locations, occasional musical guests, yoga hikes, vegan potlucks and other outdoor yogic playing. Nature will be the main setting but there may be some "urban" settings as well. A vinyasa-based asana session with storytelling and jokes and practical spiritualism will be thrown into the pot. Various workshops will also be offered.</p>

And in reality, the glaciers will be gone in just a few years due to global warming.</b> So you're probably thinking what made me pick this national park over others to spend a week long vacation here with all the grizzly bears and big horn sheep? (And nope, I'm not wrestling them!) My mind was actually made up while on top of Observation Point in Zion National Park in Utah. During my lunch break, I ran into an older couple in their late 60's that just reached the viewpoint. They were passionate nature hikers and after a lengthy discussion about all the majestic places they've seen, they said one of the most beautiful parks they've hiked was Glacier in Montana. For them, it was the combination of mountains, glaciers, abundant wildlife and the rugged landscape that made it so special. My mind was then made up. The must-sees we're Glacier and Zion... Luckily, the HOAGIES will try to do both parks in 2013!</p> <p><b>Glacier National Park is where everything bright and strong and never tamed comes together on high:</b> wolves, white-tailed ptarmigan, storms that hit the Great Divide like tsunamis with golden eagles surfing the wind waves, twisted trees 200 years old but scarcely tall enough to hide a bighorn sheep, impatient wildflowers shoving through snow to unfurl their colors, alpenglow on ancient ice, and great silver-tipped bears. Hiking trails allow those who venture on them to steal glimpses of the heart of this majestic wilderness and its abundant wildlife, including bears, elk, moose and bighorn sheep.</p> <p><b>The Montana refuge is part of Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park—1,800 square miles of what naturalist John Muir called “The best care-killing scenery on the continent." Multihued summits—whittled by ancient glaciers into walls and horns—rise abruptly from gently rolling plains.</b> Some 762 lakes, dozens of glaciers, and innumerable waterfalls glisten in forested valleys. A scenic highway crosses the park, making much of its beauty accessible to the casual visitor. More than 700 miles of trails await hikers and horseback riders.</p> <p><b>Landscapes so big and open and rugged that they stretch your soul. Craggy peaks jutting into the sky and the resident mountain goats to match.</b> A gravity defying two-lane road named, appropriately enough, the Going-to-the-Sun Road. With wildflowers, alpine vistas and waterfalls along the way, this will be an experience that you won’t forget.</p> <p><b>I'm coming to Montana to enjoy the scenery, so we'll definitely take the time to experience it while hiking... Most of the hikes I'll be doing will be between 10-18 mile day hikes. It would be a shame to rush through everything!</b></p> <p><b>RSVP STATUS:</b></p> <p>Please only RSVP if you are serious about attending! Anybody that has a history of high maintenance, flaking or bad attendance will be moved off this event unless I get a call from you... Veteran and regular members will get preference. If I'm going to be hanging out with you in the woods for 9 days, I should not have a secret desire to strangle you because you want to hike in flip flops and cover yourself in bacon grease so the grizzlies can eat us...</p> <p><b>Tentative Schedule: (Subject To Change)</b></p> <p><b>Day 1: (July 19)</b></p> <p>Closest airport is Kalispell. We'll rent a car and drive to the park. (45 minutes)<br/>Looking at campground and cabin options. (Leaning towards cabins since we can party at night, without being bothered by rangers or bears!) <b>Days 2-8: (July 20-27)</b></p> <p>8 Days to explore and hike as much of the park as we can! I already have a list of the top hikes in the area that I wanted to do. Hikes are mostly intermediate-strenuous. (10-18 miles with[masked] elevation gain) I'll send an email to everyone with the list of hikes and information. <b>Day 9: (July 28)</b></p> <p><b>Arrive back in NYC!</b> <b>YELLOWSTONE SIDE TRIP:</b></p> <p>The plan is to spend 8 days here, hiking every single trail in the park that we can and maybe make a stop at Yellowstone for even more exploring if we have time.</p> <p><b>AIRFARE:</b></p> <p>You will be responsible for your own airfare!! Please indicate in your RSVP if you have a confirmed ticket.  Prices range from $700-$800 as of now.</p> <p><b>LODGING:</b></p> <p>Campgrounds or cabins. The prices look great to rent cabins for 10-12 people so far... We might be looking at just $200 each person for 8-9 nights split between all of us. After I buy my ticket, I will work on the lodging and update this event. On a side note, there is a good possibility of coming here again with a small group for a long backpacking trip the next year after... :)</p> <p><b>Disclaimer:</b></p> <p>Participation in activities is strictly voluntary and group members assume all risks in connection with activities; per Meetup.com's Terms of Service Agreements, organizers and hike/trip leaders are released from any and all forms of liability related to events.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>If you are looking for some adventure and variety in your life, want to challenge yourself, conquer your fears or just try things you've never done before... then you've come to the right place!</strong> This group is for people in New Yory City that like to stay fit, be active and have fun at the same time. Events range from hiking, camping, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, ziplining, obstacle course mud runs, downhill skiing, cross country skiing, skydiving, hang gliding, mountain biking, trail running and every other outdoor activity I can think of. I also didn't forget I'm born and raised in NYC, so we'll also have urban and social activities planned for the group too. This includes running, parkour, urban exploring, dodgeball, flag football and a wide variety of other activities.<br> <br> <strong>Going on trips with like-minded friends is always more fun, and you'll find them here. You'll find we are a friendly, outgoing and quirky bunch who like to challenge ourselves and have a good time while doing it.</strong> Group sizes tend to be smaller here compared to other meetups, but you get to know people better as a result. Its easier to talk to people in a smaller group, the comraderie, conversation and the jokes are just better! lol<br> <br> <strong>We do our best to keep our calendar busy with random and fun trips. <a href="http://www.nychoagies.com/#calendar">Click Here to check out our Events Calendar</a></strong>.

10078660 1336605 <p>Cafe 28<br/>245 5th Ave (28th street)<br/>New York, NY 10016<br/>(212)[masked]<br/><b>Meeting time is confirmed at 1:00 PM</b></p> <p>This is a Delicatessen with a second floor seating area. That is where we'll meet. I know a few other meetup group also uses this venue. Therefore some of you would have an idea what to expect there.</p> <p> This is a monthly meetup session where members presents and critiques on each others photographs.</p> <p>How this work is that each member attending will need to bring with them 2 to 4 photographs that they want reviews and critique on. Each member will get a chance to show their photos. However, I'm <b>NOT</b> really looking for spectacular or finished photographs. I'm looking for straight out of the camera kind photo quality, without cropping, straightening or editing. A photograph that you would want some opinions on how to shoot/re-shoot or edit it to be a better photograph. Trouble photographs, such as photos that didn't came out the way you want and not sure how to fix it.</p> <p>I also don't need great printout or photo paper. Just a simple 8.5 x 11 (letter size) black and white laser or inkjet printout will be enough. This is because I will be making all kinds of marking and comments right on the printout.</p> <p><b>Please write on the back of each photo the following information:</b><br/>ISO setting<br/>F-stop<br/>Shutter Speed<br/>Focal Length</p> <p>The propose of this exercise is to give you a better understand on how to POST edit any photograph to achieve a better composition after you taken the picture. You will also learn to judge what makes a subjective, suggestive photograph vs. a straight forward photograph.</p> <p><b>Your photographic subject matter can be:</b><br/>Portrait/People<br/>Pets<br/>Flowers<br/>Landscape/Cityscape<br/>Art<br/>Stock photo<br/>Anything with a specific subject</p> <p><br/>Please call me at[masked] the day off to find me.<br/>Contact me at [masked] if you have any questions prior to the workshop.<br/>Looking forward to meeting everyone!</p> <p>:Request:<br> Digital Photography Workshop is looking to expand the diversity of its workshop by incorporating Models in the events. On that note we are opening our membership to recruit professional or amateur models and Make-up artists to join this group for its upcoming event.  This will definitely help those looking to build their portfolio.</p> <p>=================================================<br> This Meetup will be educational.</p> <p>We'll discuss:</p> <p>–Classical techniques for taking better photographs.<br> –The fundamentals about photographic composition.<br> –Digital SLR and Point-and-Shoot camera.<br> –How to effectively utilize the manual functions on a SLR camera such as the aperture shutter speed.<br> –Other basic, technical aspects of photography.

There is <b>such a variety of professions and businesses</b> available in our group, that there is <b>ALWAYS the possibility of a connection between two or more members</b>.</p> <p>Please, do not think that attending just once, will be enough to get your and your business name out there. Each month new people attend and besides that <b>the more we see you, the more we remember you ;-)</b> J</p> <p><b>THURSDAY April 30th is the next meeting (at Runyons in East Meadow)<br/></b><br/>Sign In at the front table as you enter. Our agenda is to start with a round of introductions. A RAFFLE with little gifts is always included. One of the members will hold a workshop. At the end of the meeting, after the workshop, you will have plenty of time to mingle and network amongst each other. So, don't run out after the last speaker has told his/her story.</p> <p><b>WORKSHOP April 30<br/>Sherri Gillespie of MRG MARKETING CORP - [masked] - will talk about Marketing materials.</b></p> <p>Any one who feels he/she has something to teach us, an interesting subject to talk about or a business we should know more about, feel free to email me. These workshops are NOT sales talks. I expect you to provide general information on a subject that is interesting to the group and on which you are an expert. I will give you 15 minutes to educate us.</p> <p><b>What should you bring?</b> First and foremost, prepare a 30 to 60 second commercial about you and your business. The intention to have fun and meet good people. And Business cards, lots of them (at least 50!!).</p> <p>If you want to OFFER A <b>RAFFLE PRIZE</b> for the monthly drawing, you will get your name and your website listed on all 3 main MEETUP group web pages. You can donate a product, but also a service or a discount on your service.

100794042 1705299 <p>A great session for becoming familiarized with FMA from both a cultural and practical basis. Upon a brief workout, participants will become familiar with FMA via; concepts, techniques, and self defense applications. These being but some of the material to be covered at this informative FMA session. Attendance is limited. RSVP only, thank you.</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : 13px">This group began as a way to introduce the diverse, practical and<br />beautiful martial arts of the Philippines. It provides a venue where<br />people can explore and learn the systems and methods that make up the<br />Filipino Martial Arts. People into dance, theater, music, physical<br />fitness, weight loss, health practice, etc. are among the many that<br />can benefit from the practice of FMA. Awakening to the physical,<br />mental, and spiritual levels of the body and its energies are but some<br />of the faculties that can be cultivated during FMA practice. Vital<br />strategies for dealing with everyday life situations are also<br />enhanced. No prior martial knowledge, experience or equipment is<br />necessary to partake of what FMA has to offer.</span></strong></p>

100794822 1519929 <p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>I will send out a few emails in the coming days about miscellaneous items but I wanted to send this one out to announce our next outing.</p> <p>I realize we've done a great variety of location in Manhattan but one of the parts that we are missing to do more of is upper Manhattan.</p> <p>We've done Washington Heights but one area that we are missing is the area along the Harlem River from around 155th Street to the High Bridge/Park. This area is mainly recreational but it provides an interesting look at the neighborhood, views of the Harlem River and the Bronx as well as a close up visit to High Bridge and the Water tower. This area makes for an interesting walk and moves us a little away from the very active streets of Washington Heights (the west side)</p> <p>We will meet at Penn Station to take the train from there to 168 Street. We will walk from there along the east side and end up at one of my favorite places for Dominican food... unless of course you prefer Salvadorian. Final decision will be made on the road.</p> <p> </p> <p>See here for a rough map of the area and the walk: <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=204008971682293897154.0004d3dcd33173a6fbef9&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=40.843684,-73.93786&amp;spn=0.018505,0.038495&amp;iwloc=1476251229011218323" class="linkified">https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=204008971682293897154.0004d3dcd33173a6fbef9&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=40.843684,-73.93786&amp;spn=0.018505,0.038495&amp;iwloc=1476251229011218323</a></p> <p>I hope to see you Saturday morning at 9.30am at Penn Station (31st &amp; 7th Avenue).</p> <p> </p> <p>best!</p> <p>Gus</p> <p>Just a way to get everyone that is interested in discovering New York City (which also includes outside Manhattan) through the LCD screen, view finder or lens of their camera. I have tons of photo outing ideas and hope that together, we can come up with more!</p> <p>If you're looking for a good way to combine photography, city hikes, great convesrsation and NYC's foodie scene, join us! Our average Outing combines a city walk through different and interesting neighborhoods anywhere in the 5 boroughs (and sometimes beyond) with photo opportunities and a different culinary experience. It's a few hours at a time but they are sure to be fun!</p>

10079790 1349407 <p>Basic Pranic Healing</p> <p>Join us in learning the ancient art of Pranic Healing. Learn to heal your self, your loved ones and even remote healing.</p> <p>Pranic Healing</p> <p>Everyone has the innate ability to heal and relieve pain. With PRANIC HEALING, you can easily learn to cultivate and awaken this power within you to help yourself and others in a very short time. It is easy to learn. Any relatively healthy person with average intelligence, the ability to concentrate, that has an open but discriminative mind and a certain amount of persistence can learn PRANIC HEALING.</p> <p>What is PRANIC HEALING?sm<br/>PRANIC HEALING is a revolutionary and comprehensive system of natural healing techniques that utilizes ìpranaî to treat various illnesses. Prana is a Sanskrit word literally meaning "life-force", the invisible bio-energy or vital energy that keeps the body alive and maintains a state of good health. The Japanese call this subtle energy "Ki", the Chinese "Chi", while the Greeks refer to it as "Pneuma". In Polynesian it is known as "Mana", and in Hebrew, "Ruach" - meaning "Breath of Life." As an art and science, PRANIC HEALING was widely practiced in ancient civilizations in China, Egypt and India.</p> <p>Using a "no-touch" methodology, PRANIC HEALING utilizes prana to initiate specific biochemical changes to accelerate the body's innate ability to prevent, alleviate, and heal a whole spectrum of physical, emotional, and mental ailments. The methods are simple and fairly easy to understand; anyone can learn and apply PRANIC HEALING in no time at all. Physical touch in not necessary because the practitioner applies PRANIC HEALING on the Energy Body rather than on the physical body.</p> <p>PRANIC HEALING is currently being taught to doctors, nurses, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, shiatsu practitioners, and many others in the healing field. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible. These professionals find PRANIC HEALINGsm very effective and easy to apply.</p> <p>In the palm of your hands are energy centers called chakras. Through a simple exercise, taught by Mr. Co, these chakras will be activated. Once activated, these chakras will become sensitive to feeling other's energy. You can scan that energy field to locate blockages and be able to cleanse, energize and revitalize the area with new prana. You will also learn techniques to stop the drain of energy on your body that many health practitioners experience while working on others. You will actually energize yourself while your are healing someone else!</p> <p>This is an experiential workshop. During class time, all the principles will be explained thoroughly and the techniques practiced exhaustively so you will be confident in your ability to produce positive results when you finish the course.</p> <p>Just Some of What You Will Learn:</p> <p>* Energetic Anatomy - you will work with each energy center to accelerate the healing processes of the physical organs they control<br/>* Preventative healing- remove the negative energetic patterns of a disease to prevent it from fully manifesting as a sickness<br/>* Self PRANIC HEALING - applying techniques to accelerate your own healing<br/>* Step-by-step techniques for ailments related to:<br/>Respiratory (e.g. asthma)<br/>Circulatory ( e.g. heart ailments)<br/>Gastrointestinal (e.g.irritable bowel syndrome)<br/>Musculoskeletal (e.g. arthritis and back pain)<br/>Migraine headaches<br/>sinusitis<br/>Reproductive (e.g. menstrual problems)<br/>and other common illnesses<br/>* Distant Healing to heal as effectively at a distance as when your subject is present and more</p> Experience the soothing benefits of a Pranic Healing session and enjoy our 'Planetary Peace Meditation'. Each session is followed with a discussion on how to integrate these techniques into your life to reduce stress and find your path. Learn how to meditate, experience healing, getting off the roller coaster. Hope to see you there.

As tentatively announced last time, Simon will be holding a talk about the new shard allocator.</p> <p>Retresco can't host us this time, so we'll return to the very beginning of the group and meet at the office space of SysEleven who kindly offered their conference room.</p> <p>See you all next week.</p> <p>Elasticsearch is the new kid on the block. A search engine built from the ground up to be distributed. This meet-up is for Elasticsearch enthusiasts willing to share experiences, knowledge and war stories about it.</p> <p><span>If you use it, or want to learn about it - you are very welcome.</span></p> <p><span>We meet monthly every last Tuesday at 7 pm at the coworking space co.up (<a href="https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zd1xF18xwRyM.kQ_z7sJSrlB0">Adalbertstr. 8, 10999 Berlin</a>), if not announced otherwise.

100804392 184599 <p>A couple of us new people are going to try and get an "every other Tuesday" game session going. We'll be mixing up what we play. Tonight we're going to meet at All in One to figure out what we are going to start with. Anyone interested, stop on in (even if it's just to met the new folks).</p> The Garden State Gaming Society is a group of local adults (age 18+) who share the common interest for a variety of genres for role-playing games as well as board and non-collectible card games. We meet almost every week to play, discuss and test games of all kinds. It's a great way to meet new friends with similar interests.

10080522 1422140 <p>The <a href="http://www.delawareriver.net/del_ra_canal.php">Delaware &amp; Raritan Canal State Park</a> is absolutely beautiful; it has a nice stone packed trail, beautiful scenery and mountain, hybrid and road bikes can all be used (road bikers, be aware there are areas of erosion and loose gravel).</p> <p>It's not a technically difficult ride but it'll be a great way to get back onto your bike and to meet your fellow Meet Up members!

The trail continues down to Scudder Falls so if you'd like to lengthen your ride, feel free.</p> <p>After our ride, we'll head over to <a href="http://www.cocinadelsolnj.com/">Cocina del Sol</a> in Frenchtown, a delicious authentic Mexican food restaurant.

Our group includes singles, couples, friends and people who are out for a good time, so please join us for a pedal, or a hike, anyone and everyone is welcome.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
100805222 1755448 <p>MoMath's next "Math Encounters" public lecture. From their description: " Have you ever wondered how Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher made his intriguing tessellations? Did you know that homemaker Marjorie Rice found tessellating pentagons that mathematicians missed? Neither was a mathematician, but each was challenged by a mathematical problem, and each found a way to solve it. Listen as mathematician Doris Schattschneider describes how diligence and creativity yielded both mathematical and artistic wonders. Doris will be introduced by Dr. Robert Fathauer, mathematical artist, puzzle designer, author, and curator.."</p> <p>This is a free event hosted by MoMath, the newly formed Museum of Mathematics. You must register on the MoMath website to attend, just RSVPing on meetup isn't enough. Previous events in the series have filled up quickly, so I recommend registering early if you'd like to attend. <a href="https://in.momath.org/civicrm/event/register?id=58&amp;reset=1">You can sign up here</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p>Math is the original liberal art, the first stop on any intellectual journey to understand a little more about the world. It's about trying to answer questions, not because they've been assigned out of some dusty textbook, but because the question itself is interesting and the attempt is more interesting still. It's about learning for the sake of learning, studying for the sake of studying. This group is about math for math's sake.</p> <p>The School of Mathematics was founded to cultivate a natural and stress-free environment where anyone can study, discuss, explore, and experience mathematics. No prior knowledge is assumed. Whether you are an avid student of mathematics or have always shied away saying "math is not for me", you are welcome. Our approach allows anyone to naively discover mathematics. All studies at the school are free of charge.&nbsp;Philosophically, we share much in common with the vision of mathematics education Paul Lockhart outlines in his wonderful essay <a href="http://thewe.net/math/lockhart.pdf">A Mathematician&rsquo;s Lament.</a></p> <p>Curious? Take a look at some of our <a href="http://thewe.net/math/past">past topics</a> or just stop by a meetup.</p>

10080694 1422843 <p>An entry level discussion and demonstration of frame selection, budgeting, part amassing, frame prep and bike assembly. Followed by a ride in Prospect Park</p> <p>This discussion will include assembling a complete bike during our session. Its not as hard as you might think, and certainly not as intimidating. I specialize/am interested in restoring steel road frames from the 70' and 80's, and I will show what I have learned these past few years. I began selling these (<a href="http://www.718c.com">www.718c.com</a>) as I had no room or need for multiple bikes, and struck on a very enjoyable and profitable business model. This session, and this group in general, will lean more towards the fixed gear variety of bikes.</p> <p>I will do a session on frame prep and painting/finishing in the future</p> <p>My workshop is in a shed in my backyard, so (weather permitting) we will be outside in the yard building a bike. Beer will be served.</p> <p>This group will hopefully serve to attract people interested in bike building and riding (and hopefully ride what you build). There are ALOT of people out there who can build cooler bikes than me, but its my nature to share, teach and collaborate...(in addition to my day job as an architect, I teach design at Pratt) I am hoping that this would be a great way to contribute to NYC's rich cycling heritage.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope this becomes a resource for information, tools, techniques, rides etc. If someone sees something useful on ebay/Craigs list, they could flash it around to the group...collaboration is a powerful thing, I hope we can use the message boards to their fullest.</p> <p>Check out my website at: www.718c.com</p>
100807912 2220381 <p>Hey girls. I am finally ready to start using my gym membership, and would love some company trying out this class. I have never tried it before so I am not sure what level of fitness it is appropriate for, but I am assuming since it is at the gym they will have lower impact moves too. Also for non-members you can always go on the website and get a guest pass that I believe is good for 3 days. See ya soon.</p> <p>This group is focused on women who want to get healthy, but can feel self-conscious going to a gym or group exercise class by themselves for any number of reasons. Maybe you don't think you're fit enough? Maybe you want a slower pace? Maybe you want friendly easy going gals to get you there and through the class?.</p> <p>Let's get a group together to exercise together, relieve any intimidation you may feel about doing certain activities alone, with the additional accountability that comes with making a commitment to meeting people there!</p> <p>Here are some things we do in this group!</p> <p>1) Long walks in the parks, along the lake or in a specific neighborhood</p> <p>2) Dance fitness classes like Nia, Zumba and Bollywood</p> <p>3) Beginning yoga for every body type</p> <p>4) Small group personal training</p> <p>5) Set up gym buddies for those who belong to a specific gym for support and motivation.</p> <p>Our events are primarily within the city of Chicago.   If you are interested in organizing event in your area - please contact me!</p> <p>Please take time to read our <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Chicago-Curvy-Girls-DIY-Fitness-Club/messages/boards/thread/25826362">No Show Policy</a> to be sure you are participating as a responsible group member:</p> <p>I am not affiliated with any fitness group or weight loss service of any kind. Just a regular 9-5 working gal wants to be more active and would love to meet other ladies who seek the same.</p>

She has been awarded many honorary awards, including Metropolitan Opera’s Beverly Sills Award, given to an American singer for outstanding leading roles at the Met.</p> <p>“She simply stood there—then opened her mouth and, seemingly without preparation, began to spin out a golden, utterly perfect melodic line.

A simple vacation cruise suddenly becomes an evolutionary journey. Thanks to an apocalypse, a small group of survivors stranded on the Galapagos Islands are about to become the progenitors of a brave new, and totally different human race. Here, America's master satirist looks at our world and shows us all that is sadly, madly awry -- and all that is worth saving.</p> <p>"Vonnegut is a postmodern Mark Twain... Galapagos is a madcap genealogical adventure."</p> <p><b><i>This seems to be one of his more polarizing books - receiving both extraordinary praise and staunch criticism from all sides - which if nothing else, should make for a great discussion!</i></b></p> <p><b>NOTE: I WILL BE EMAILING MEMBERS ASKING YOU TO CONFIRM YOUR "YES" RSVP THE WEEK BEFORE THE MEETUP, NO LATER THAN THE FRIDAY BEFORE SO WE CAN GET A PRETTY ACCURATE HEADCOUNT.

10080950 1299276 <p>The time has come to try out this ny institution, katz deli and have their delicious pastrami sandwich. The sandwich itself is big, so unless you guys and girls plan to share, prepare to come hungry. In addition to pastrami sandwich you could also have other goodies like corned beef and hot dog, but pastrami in my opionion is the best, especially when it comes on rye with mustard and delicious half sour pickles.</p> <p>If you have never been there it is located on houston st between A and 1 avenue on the south side of the street.

Hope to see you there!</p> Hello 1001ers I thought it would be really fun to put together a list of 1001 really special "NYC" only activities that are true to the character of this city. Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest.

As modern-day abolitionists we are informed and strengthened by our knowledge of other liberation movements. The abolition of slavery in the United States did not begin or end with the Emancipation Proclamation, but it was a critically important turning point. On the 150th anniversary of this famous document, come learn more about how it came to pass...</p> <p><img src="http://www.nypl.org/sites/default/files/imagecache/sidebar_square/lincoln_1.jpg" /></p> <p><b>Author @ the Library:<a href="http://www.nypl.org/events/programs/2013/03/04/lincolns-hundred-days-emancipation-proclamation-and-war-union-louis-p-m-3?pref=node_type_search%2Fevents">"Lincoln's Hundred Days: the Emancipation Proclamation and the War for The Union" with Louis P.

Which floor should be posted by the elevators by the NYPL staff. </p> <p> At the sesquicentennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, this visual presentation seeks to restore the document’s reputation by exploring its evolution.</p> <p>The author tells the full story of the critical period between September 22, 1862, when Lincoln issued his preliminary Proclamation, and January 1, 1863, when he signed the final, significantly altered, decree.</p> <p>He presents a fresh portrait of Lincoln as a complex figure who worried about, listened to, debated, prayed for, and even joked with his country, and then followed his conviction in directing America toward a terrifying and thrilling unknown.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong><span style="font-size : medium">WHY FIGHT?... for 27 MILLION REASONS!</span></strong></p> <p style="text-align : center"><strong><span style="font-size : medium"><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/e/f/e/event_65200702.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px"></span></strong></p> <p style="text-align : center"><em><span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong><span>"Freedom is not a gift from heaven... we must fight for it every day!" ~</span> Simon Wiesenthal</strong></span></em></p> <p><strong>Few people in the developed nations have a grasp of the magnitude of human trafficking.</strong> Fewer still take action. Welcome to Fight Slavery Now! Thank you for choosing to make a difference.</p> <p><strong>We are an all volunteer grass-roots organization of regular folks like yourself.</strong> Most of us initially knew little about this subject, or else believed that incidents were few and far away. But when we learned the truth, we knew we had to try to do something about it. We used Meetup.com to come together seeking a course of action. Though we are diverse in our backgrounds, outlooks and ages... we have become united in our outrage.</p> <p><strong>Founded at the end of 2008, we are still a fledgling group.</strong> This is a very exciting time to become involved as we are actively seeking new ideas and approaches as we continue to learn. Your participation will be highly valued. Additionally we are encouraged that the political climate has become somewhat more receptive, both locally and on the international stage, to addressing this debasing crime.</p> <p><strong>The sex trafficking industry overwhelmingly preys on young women and children.</strong> The slave labor markets rely on a ready supply of men and women fleeing desperate circumstance. Threats, trickery and false promises are the essential tools used by traffickers. Once under their control, victims find only abuse, humiliation, and endless exploitation. This is the face of modern-day slavery.</p> <p><strong>Because of its low visibility, too little is being done to combat this crime.</strong> Reliable statistics are scarce, but estimates run as high as 27 million people currently in some form of slave bondage. Not all trafficking is across borders. Many people are trafficked right here within the United States. Specific laws against Trafficking in Persons were formulated only in this decade, and in New York State only in 2007.</p> <p><strong>Meet other local people who are interested in the fight against modern-day slavery.</strong> Discuss how we can best educate ourselves and others, what actions individual citizens can take, and how we can join with others to end this abuse flourishing in our midst.</p> <p><strong><em>This movement needs all the help and all the talent it can muster. We need speakers and writers, doers and dreamers. We need wit and reason, passion and caring. People wise in the ways of politics. People with business savvy. People with organizing skills. We need artists and singers, poets and preachers. We need everyone who cares, all the men, women, and children who are willing to work to end slavery in our generation.

100816982 1848391 <p>For all the spontaneous ones around:</p> <p>I am going to C/O Berlin on Thursday for the Exhibition and Awards Show “Vattenfall Photo Prize 2012”.</p> <p>We can meet in front of the entrance at 7.30 pm, have dinner or drinks somewhere around the corner and come back for the opening at 9 pm.</p> <p>You are very welcome to join me.</p> <p>Verena</p> <p>(just in case - my number[masked])</p> <p>--------</p> <p>Exhibition and Awards Show<br/>Vattenfall Photo Prize 2012<br/>Awards Show and opening 24 January 2013 . 9 pm</p> <p>The winners<br/>1. Prize: Stephanie Steinkopf<br/>2. Prize Hajime Kimura<br/>3. Prize Karina-Sirkku Kurz<br/>Best Single Photo Philipp Plum</p> <p>Danger: High Voltage! Whether we encounter it in storms, thrillers, sports, games, electricity, conflict, or love—our lives are full of tension. Tensions arise in all forms and levels of intensity: they can tickle our nerves or engulf us in stress; sometimes they can even be deadly. Tension is invisible yet real and tangible, and it influences our decisions and actions. This makes visualizing tension a great challenge. What shapes can it take? How does tension arise, and how is it released? And how does it interact with its opposite, relaxation? Young and emerging photographers were invited to interpret the theme of this year’s competition, “tension”, freely and also metaphorically.</p> <p>With the Vattenfall Photo Prize, C/O Berlin and Vattenfall intend to support narrative photography and to present talented young photographers to a broad audience. The winners will not only receive prize money but also have their work shown in a solo exhibition from 25 January to 24 February 2013. With a total of 27,000 euros in prize money, the Vattenfall Photo Prize is one of the most generous awards for emerging photographers in Germany: the first prize is 10,000 euros, the second prize is 8,000 euros, and the third prize is 6,000 euros. There is also a 3,000 euro special prize for the best individual photograph. More than 300 photopraphers applied this year. Entries were judged by a professional jury. Ingo Taubhorn, Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Stephan Erfurt, C/O Berlin, Robert Lebeck, photographer, Rainer Knauber, Vattenfall GmbH, Isabelle Meiffert, Vattenfall Collection selected the three strongest bodies of work from the entries submitted.</p> <p><br/>Contexts for the presentation of classic documentary photojournalism have been declining over the last decade with the digitization and restructuring of the print media market. It has become almost impossible for young photographers today to shoot their own stories and find venues to publish them. With the Vattenfall Photo Prize, C/O Berlin and Vattenfall intend to support narrative photography and to present talented young photographers to a broad audience.</p> <p>Vattenfall is one of the largest producers of power and largest producer of heat in Europe. Social engagement is an essential component of Vattenfall’s corporate philosophy. Through its commitment to the promotion of culture, Vattenfall recognizes outstanding artistic accomplishments by individual artists and art projects.<br/>Organizer Vattenfall . C/O Berlin .

100817492 3495952 <p>I'm planning to head up to <a href="http://capricon.org/capricon33/">Capricon</a> on Friday. Smaller local con, but still supposed to be a fun place to hang out and be geeky. Looks like lots of panels, costumes, and art.<br/>I figure I'll be leaving in the morning and heading back in the evening, but timing is flexible.</p> <p>Sometimes being a geek woman is a lonely experience. It's hard connect with other women when they're staring at you funny because you're trying to explain your theory that the nature of a child's mutation stems partially from genetics as seen in Polaris and Magneto, but mostly from some sort of trauma before puberty - the time in which most mutants first exhibit abilities. Ex: Nightcrawler wanted to disappear because of his demonic appearance, and he did. You flashed 'em a little bit of your geek, and people just sidle away cautiously.</p> <p>Not at this meetup. We LOVE your inner geek. We want you to pull it out of it's hiding place, doll it up and make it sing for our amusement. This is a place where you can meet women who share your interest/s, socialize, have fun and not feel ostracized.</p> <p>Our main focus is to provide a safe social setting for geek women of similar interests to meet and interact and hopefully create bonds of friendship that will last a long time. Our secondary focus is to have a blast! Geek women of all ages, shapes, ethnicities, interests are welcome! --------------- This group is women only. It is NOT a singles group. Thank you for respecting that!------------</p>

100821892 1730008 <p>Wikipedia states:  “Cloud computing refers to the on-demand provision of computational resources (data, software) via a computer network, rather than from a local computer. Users or clients can submit a task, such as word processing, to the service provider, without actually possessing the software or hardware.”</p> <p>Anthony F. Voellm, a.k.a. Tony, a member of the Cloud Security, Performance and Test Team, defines Cloud Computing as “An elastic set of programmable computing resources that can be used on a pay-per-use basis over a network that allows the user to control the computation and focus on the problem being solved and worry less about the physical hardware, software systems, and location.”</p> <p>The world of building software is undergoing rapid changes with the shift from desktop applications to highly connected and ubiquitous applications served from the Cloud. The shift to the Cloud poses new challenges (eq: how do you run xUnit frameworks on PAAS?) and opportunities on how to test while also creating whole new ways of testing in general (eg: fuzz testing on hundreds of machines for little cost).</p> <p>The Google Cloud Platform allows you to build applications and websites, store and analyze data on Google’s infrastructure.  In this talk, Tony will provide an overview of the Google Cloud Platform, give a demo of the Google Cloud, and also discuss unique strategies for ensuring that is fully tested and functional.</p> <p>Tony currently leads the Google Cloud Test team and has a wide range of experience from kernel and database engines to graphics and automated image and map extraction from satellite images. Anthony is an avid inventor with 7 technology patents issued. He is focused on delivering Performance, Reliability, and Security to existing products like Google Cloud Storage and Dremel while also innovating new offerings.</p> <p>----------</p> <p>The agenda for this event is:</p> <p>5:30 - 6:30 pm: Attendees Register / Networking<br/>6:30 - 6:35 pm: Welcome &amp; Intro<br/>6:35 - 7:35 pm: Presentation<br/>7:35 - 8:00 pm: Q/A</p> <p>Please note the <b>venue entrance</b> is on the <b>8th Avenue side of the building</b>. If you mistakenly go to the 9th avenue entrance, building security will ask you to walk around the building (on the outside!) to the 8th Avenue side. The A,C,E trains stop on the 8th Avenue side of the building.</p> <p>The RSVP name will be provided to the building security in advance - so please do register with your real name as this will significantly speed up registration. To allow all participants in the community to get clear visibility into their schedules, for all upcoming talks, we will make seating reservable a week prior to the event.</p> <p>Google volunteers will also be present at the event to answer any questions you may have, look for people who are wearing "Google Wear".</p> <p>This talk will be recorded, and made available publicly a few weeks after the event.</p> <p>See you there!</p> <p> </p> <p>Welcome engineers and technologists in the New York area. Whether you are a hands on software engineer, quality engineer, or a person just interested in advanced technologies, you will enjoy these meetups.</p> <p>Hosted monthly at Google's NYC offices, these talks will cover a variety of topics of strong interest to the NYC technology community. Speakers will be enlisted from the local community (including, but not limited to, Google engineers).</p> <p>Topics will range across the spectrum of computer science and software engineering, including information retrieval, user interfaces, programming languages, and computer security. In particular, there will be a track devoted to best practices for quality engineering and automation / engineering productivity (e.g. automated testing, building testing frameworks, etc). There will also be talks on business topics that are highly relevant to software engineers (e.g. entrepreneurship, future of publishing, social capitalism, etc).</p> <p>If you have recommendations for future topics, feedback for the events team or are interested in future events and jobs at Google, please fill out our <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHJIcE9UeEJqRGo2VlNrSU9PNUdJR3c6MA#gid=0">interest form</a>.</p> <p>Past meetups are generally <a href="http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=AD8A7B6D66DDD297">recorded</a> - enjoy!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

100822682 1596068 <p><b>Surpassing FAST - Examining the New Search Core in SharePoint 2013</b></p> <p>Much has been written about Search in SharePoint 2013 - and rightly so. But if you think the airtight FAST integration is all there is...think again! New cutting-edge technology has made its way into the platform, promising more flexibility, better performance and richer functionality. But how is it different? What can we use it for? And how does all of this affect capacity planning, deployment, and day-to-day maintenance like resizing, coping with HW failures and keeping up the seemingly always-changing business requirements? In this session we'll explore all of this and more!</p> <p><b>Speaker Information<br/></b><b>Marcus Johansson</b> is a Senior Consultant at Comperio. He's spent the last 6 years working exclusively with search technology, both in academia and by implementing Enterprise Search solutions for companies around the globe. He's been with Comperio for 4 years and has previously worked for FAST Search and Transfer in Boston and at CERN in Geneva. Marcus is also a co-author of the book, "Working with Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint." </p> <p><b>Agenda<br/></b>6:00pm - Food/Networking</p> <p>6:15pm – News &amp; Updates &amp; Member Q&amp;A</p> <p>6:20pm – Sponsor Segment</p> <p>6:30pm –<b><i> Marcus Johansson's Presentation</i></b></p> <p>7:15pm – Q&amp;A</p> <p>7:30pm – Raffle/Closing</p> <p><br/>*Please answer the questions prompted after your RSVP.  If we do not have your full name, we can not include you on the list to Building Security, which will stall your entry.* </p> <p>The Enterprise Search User Group is a SharePoint based community with a focus on Enterprise Search aimed to provide valuable and timely information to its members. Its primary goal is to provide a forum that encourages disparate practices and business groups to come together and share thoughts, ideas, successes and failures, to cultivate a borderless body of knowledge.</p>

Thus within this colorful keepsake box the purchaser will find a fully-apportioned variety of reading material ready to address virtually any imaginable artistic or poetic taste, from the corrosive sarcasm of youth to the sickening earnestness of maturity—while discovering a protagonist wondering if she’ll ever move from the rented close quarters of lonely young adulthood to the mortgaged expanse of love and marriage. Whether you’re feeling alone by yourself or alone with someone else, this book is sure to sympathize with the crushing sense of life wasted, opportunities missed and creative dreams dashed which afflict the middle- and upper-class literary public (and which can return to them in somewhat damaged form during REM sleep).<br/>A pictographic listing of all 14 items (260 pages total) appears on the back, with suggestions made as to appropriate places to set down, forget or completely lose any number of its contents within the walls of an average well-appointed home. As seen in the pages of <i>The New Yorker</i>, <i>The New York Times</i> and <i>McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern</i>, <i>Building Stories</i> collects a decade’s worth of work, with dozens of “never-before-published” pages (i.e., those deemed too obtuse, filthy or just plain incoherent to offer to a respectable periodical).</p> <p>Remember when you were a kid and comics were awesome? Well they still are. Actually, they're much better now. If you don't already know that then you need to come to the next Meetup. We're going to use this group to explore all genres for comics, trade paperbacks, and graphic novels and then discuss them over a few drinks.</p>

Really, every moment is a new moment and opportunity to choose with right mind, but we are happy to take advantage of traditions such as the celebration of the new year to bring people together to remember.</p> <p>It has been our tradition to offer to greet the new year with an extended meditation on New Year's Eve. However, as New Year's Eve falls on a Wednesday this year, we have decided to stick with our usual Tuesday schedule but extend the meditation. As usual, please be sure to arrive by 6 pm as we will not let anyone into the building between 6 – 7 pm while the meditation is in progress. Healing clinic will be offered from 7 pm.</p> <p><strong>Tu 6:30 – 7 pm Guided Meditation (Free) at CRS</strong></p> <p>Please join us in the sharing of miracles! Here, your mind can come to rest and you can remember true peace. No experience with meditation is required, and everyone is welcome.</p> <p>Please arrive for Meditation before 6:30 pm as we don't let people in once the meditation is in progress.</p> <p>We at CRS are dedicated teachers and students of <em>A Course in Miracles</em> (ACIM) who are waiting to share miracles with you through our ACIM Healing. We ask the Holy Spirit to bring us directly to whatever seed thought is causing your current issues and we share forgiveness and bear witness to the miracles that are happening in your life. Each week I will share with you a different inspirational message from Holy Spirit: a creative visualization exercise, or instruction about the nature and purpose of meditation, our true nature, and our relationship to ourselves, to one another, and to the world.</p> <p>Also, please feel free to stay afterward for our <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ACIM-healing/">Spiritual Healing Clinic</a> from 7 – 7:50 pm or try our more in-depth <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ACIM-class/">Meditating with A Course in Miracles</a> class on Monday nights from 8 – 9:30 pm.</p> <p><strong>About Me</strong></p> <p>I have been teaching <em>A Course in Miracles</em> and offering spiritual counseling and healing since 1999.

Only the mind is in need of healing."</em><br> —"PSYCHOTHERAPY: Purpose, Process and Practice," Supplements to <em>A Course in Miracles</em></span></p> <p>Hello, all miracle workers &amp; seekers! We are dedicated teachers and students of A <em>Course in Miracles</em> (ACIM) who are waiting to share miracles with you through our ACIM-based Healing. We ask the Holy Spirit to bring us directly to whatever seed thought is causing your current issues and we share forgiveness and bear witness to the miracles that are happening in all areas of your life. Bring any issue you are facing right now — physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or whatever — or just bring your shining spirit, and receive a short session of energy work.</p> <p>You will experience healing by the Holy Spirit through our healers' hands. Together, we create a Holy Triangle, consisting of the Holy Spirit and two brothers (you and a healer), to be the witnesses of miracles together. Together, we can help each other to accept God’s love! After your healing we might whisper to you a brief message that we receive from the Holy Spirit about what is going on in your energy field. Otherwise, we don't talk or discuss ACIM during this meetup event. We share healing quietly instead and provide you with an opportunity to come to rest, reflect, and remember who you truly are, in a supportive, non-judgmental, meditative environment.</p> <p>So, rather than offering your advice, we'd like to offer you an opportunity to experience stillness of mind and peace so that you can return to harmony with your true nature and purpose. Then you will find that rather than needing "solutions" to "problems" you will realize that you have no problems except those that you project. We call this spiritual healing but it is not religious nor connected with any church or group. It is simply a practice of meditating together on our true nature and connecting with universal spirit/energy or what you will.</p> <p><strong>Schedule:</strong></p> <p>Mondays from 7 – 7:50 pm<br> Tuesdays from 7 – 7:50 pm<br> Thursdays from 11 – 11:50 am <br> Suggested donation $20. No one is turned away.</p> <p><strong>Location:</strong></p> <p>CRS (Center for Remembering &amp; Sharing) <br> 123 4th Ave, 2nd FL (between 12th &amp; 13th Streets) <br> Manhattan <br> <a href="http://www.crsny.org" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.crsny.org" target="_blank">http://www.crsny.org</a><br> 212-677-8621</p> <p><strong>A Note About the Role of Words in Healing:</strong></p> <p>"Strictly speaking, words play no part at all in healing. The motivating factor is prayer, or asking. What you ask for you receive. But this refers to the prayer of the heart, not to the words you use in praying. Sometimes the words and the prayer are contradictory; sometimes they agree. It does not matter. God does not understand words, for they were made by separated minds to keep them in the illusion of separation. Words can be helpful, particularly for the beginner, in helping concentration and facilitating the exclusion, or at least the control, of extraneous thoughts. Let us not forget, however, that words are but symbols of symbols. They are thus twice removed from reality...." — <em>A Course in Miracles</em> Manual for Teachers, Section 21</p>

We read sequentially through the book, stopping as people have comments or questions, and we are able to experience together the book's life-affirming message of Sonship with God, as well as the wealth of details on such subjects as: the possibilities that exist for an individual after physical death; what the soul is; how life developed on earth over time; a description of the various orders of divine and semi-divine beings; and a year-by-year account of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, also referred to in the book as the Creator Son of our local universe.<br> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> This takes place in New York City on West 18th Street in a studio.

It is an easy trail with low hills that have a maximum elevation of 90 feet. Hunter Island was once a true island but sunken barges and dredged sand joined it, and Twin Island, to Orchard Beach. You can easily walk to Hunter and Twin from Orchard Beach.</p> <p><b>This hike is usually a longer one - plan on at least 5 hours for that Sunday</b></p> <p> </p> <p><b>Please note - This will be a winter walk - nothing strenuous (almost all walking will be on flat land, with a few small hills to climb), but we will be outside for at least 3 1/2 to 4 hours - DRESS ACCORDINGLY. Feel free to bring lunch, water, a thermos with hot coffee/tea is recommended if you have one. Wear warm socks/shoes/boots -  waterproof if you have them. I will send an update as we get closer to the hike day. we will walk in light snow or if there is light snow on the ground.</b></p> <p> </p> <p><b>GETTING THERE</b> - you will need a metro card with at least $4.50 on it or have an unlimited weekly or monthly card.</p> <p>2 options -</p> <p>1) Meet between <b>10:45am and 11:00 am</b> in front of <b>Piper's Kilt</b> (East side on Broadway, just north of 207th St. in Inwood) to catch the BX-12 SelectBus to Pelham Bay Subway Station. <b>We will catch the bus at approximately 11:15am.</b> Travel time is roughly 40 minutes to Pelham Bay - assuming there are no delays along the way. You must buy the ticket for the bus at the Select Bus ticket machine at the bus stop. Your metro card will have a transfer on it that's good to get on the local bus to City Island in the Bronx. (getting to Piper's Kilt - A train or 1 train to 207th St.)</p> <p><br/><b>or</b></p> <p>2) Travel to Pelham Bay Subway Station (either by car - I don't know of parking availability in the area, local bus or #6 subway to Pelham Bay). Wait for the group at <b>11:50am</b> in front of the CVS on Bruckner Blvd (just a few stores down from Dunkin Donuts), to meet the group coming by BX-12 bus from Inwood. Please note that the BX-12 bus may have a unforseen delay, <b>so please wait past 11:50am</b> (Again, you will need a Metro Card for round trip travel by local bus).</p> <p><b>***If you will meet the group in Pelham Bay -please email me so we can exchange cell #s to coordinate***</b></p> <p>Once the group is together at the Pelham Bay Subway Station, we will catch the local bus (BX-29) to City Island. It's about a mile to a mile and a half walk from the bus stop in City Island over to the beginning of the nature trail on Hunter Island, along the way we will cross over the City Island bridge, walk through woods and along the Orchard Beach boardwalk - nice and scenic!</p> <p>We won't stop for lunch, but will snack on the way. After exploring Hunter, we may take a quick walk over to Twin Island and after that walk along the beach back to the bus stop to travel back to Pelham Bay Subway Station.</p> <p>Remember your camera for this unique winter walk.</p> <p><br/>Once back at the Pelham Bay Subway Station you can catch your mode of transport back.</p> <p>We will walk in light snow, or if there is a few inches on the ground. I will send an update a few days before the hike.</p> <p>Please note - I reserve the option to cancel the hike a few days before Feb. 3rd if there are only a few RSVPs (around 5 or so). No shows are always a problem with meetup events. I may cancel if I expect low RSVPs will result if no one showing up! Hopefully though, many troopies will sign up. :)</p> <p><br/>$4 fee to cover meetup and organizing costs.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>Liability Waiver:</b></p> <p><b>Hiking or outdoor activities have inherent risks. Your participation in our events could be dangerous and can result in serious injury, medical emergency, even death.</b> Make yourself aware of your surroundings and trail conditions at all times.

NoMO is both a social group for northern Manhattanites and others to get together in a relaxed venue and an 'outdoors' group, for all New Yorkers who enjoy hiking, birdwatching, stargazing, kayaking, especially in and around northern Manhattan.<br> Many of the activities are designed to bring together northern Manhattan, New Jersey and Bronx neighbors to enjoy the parks and trails up here in Washington Heights, Inwood, the Bronx and Jersey. Other activities may include day hikes upstate in Harriman or Bear Mt. Park, a bald eagle watch on the Hudson in Manhattan, hiking in Cold Spring, bird watching, coyote watching in Central Park, excursions to Wave Hill, the Bronx Zoo, the Bronx Botanical Gardens or the Brooklyn Gardens (Hanami in the Spring!).</p> <p>Both the area and the community of upper Manhattan are the main focus of this group, however all are most welcome!</p>

Attending sessions to learn how to solve your startup’s challenges and making friends will. There will be plenty of that.</p> <p><b><i>Education</i></b>: There will be lots of targeted, expert to founder education. There will be tutorials, trainings, hands-on with the actual product designers, ideation around the next big thing, Q&amp;A on targeted topics. There will be the best networking possible. You might not make a lot of contacts, but you’ll make plenty of friends.</p> <p><b><i>Travel</i></b>: We want entrepreneurs from all around the world to attend. Phase 1 tickets will cost a few hundred dollars, and we’re holding it in February because flights to International airports like SFO and SJC are at their lowest point of the year.

10083244 1245291 <p>This will be the first meeting for this group. I'm trying to get a mix of people together for a number of reasons:<br/>1. Lead sharing - allows sales executives to share networking ideas and potential customers because word of mouth is the best way to market<br/>2. IT Professionals and Telecom directors: For those who handle this responsiblity, we can look to talk about new technologies and review how to leverage technologies today to increase effectiveness without hurting bottom line. WE also review what other businesess are doing.<br/>3. Small Business Owners or New Business Entrepreneurs: If you are starting a business or looking to enhance your business we can help review technologies and programs that might enhance your company. Image is everything and leveraging certain programs and technologies can help generate businesses.<br/>4. Marketing: Review what types of business generation marketing is working.<br/>5. How to make some additional money by speading word of mouth: For sales professionals we can share notes on businesses that are moving, business contacts, businesses looking for support services, and more. We want to build a dynamic group of people that help other sales professionals be an extra set of eyes and ears.<br/>6. Careers: We can talk about careers offered in different industries. The organizer of this event is the CTO of Converged Systems and helps with placement for IT and telecom professionals. We work with all industries and can be an extra set of eyes and ears to help.<br/>And more<br/>Sponsored by:<br/>Kevin Rubin<br/><a href="http://www.convergedsystems.com/"><a href="http://www.convergeds" class="linkified">http://www.convergeds</a>...</a><br/>krubin@convergedsystems.com<br/>8474408622</p> <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RwwyJICbnE4?rel=0" width="470" height="264" style="margin : 5px ; max-width : 700px ; max-height : 700px"></iframe> <p> </p> <p>The purpose of this MeetUp is to encourage business interaction among members and to improve networking skills through idea sharing and social interaction.</p> <p>The goal is to build a network of energetic business members who participate actively on a regular basis and who have a genuine interest in helping one another explore business ideas, solve problems and expand networking opportunities for the purpose of professional growth.</p> <p>Strategy is to have fun, meaningful, scheduled, monthly meetings and adjunct activities that help members meet their individual professional objectives.</p> <p><strong>About Business Card to Business MeetUp.</strong></p> <p>The name Business Card to Business is intended to establish the fact that this is a face-to-face networking opportunity with the purpose of positioning its members to be in contact with one another. Business cards are the traditional symbol of establishing business contact. This MeetUp is organized by Reno Lovison, owner of Reno Lovison Marketing and author of the book “Turn Your Business Card Into Business.” Reno has been an entrepreneur for over 25 years in the Chicago area and is an enthusiastic advocate of face-to-face networking.</p> <p><strong>Details</strong></p> <p><strong>What:</strong> Business Card to Business MeetUp</p> <p><strong>Where:</strong> Roots Room - Artist Development Center</p> <p>5203 N Kimball - Chicago ( Just off Foster Ave.)</p> <p><strong>When:</strong> Last Tuesday of every Month unless otherwise indicated.</p> <p><strong>Time:</strong> 6:00 to 8:00</p> <p>Scheduled presentations and activities to be scheduled between 6:30 – 7:30.</p> <p><strong>Fee:</strong> FREE.</p> <p>There is a $25 one time charter membership fee option established to encourage members to make an investment in the activity and to defray some “hard-costs” related to the organization. For charter members this fee will include participation in all regularly scheduled monthly meetings for 12 months. After that there will be an annual renewal. Each charter member will receive a copy of “Turn Your Business Card Into Business” ($17.95 Value).</p> <p><strong>Premise:</strong> All businesses can benefit from face-to-face networking. Most small businesses are local service providers who derive the majority of their clientele from their local geographic area. In short, if you’re in the business of providing a particular service and you are located in Chicago, chances are the majority of your clients are also located in and around Chicago. Therefore one of the least expensive and most effective ways to grow your business is through personal face-to-face networking. This tactic allows business owners (or their agents) to build a personal relationship with prospects, and others who are in a position to refer prospects, as the need for a particular business solution is identified. There are a number of enterprises that have no geographic boundaries and who provide products and services on a national or international basis. These businesses often provide services to local service providers and can also benefit from networking locally and building outward. Face-to-face networking is an efficient way to create contacts and build relationships. It allows potential business allies to understand what you have to offer and to get a sense of your business philosophy. Most business relationships go beyond the need to simply solve a problem. People are more inclined to award business opportunities to those they like and trust. Personal interaction allows you to establish the necessary rapport that makes others comfortable introducing you to their network of business contacts and allies. Ultimately excellent networking is achieved when people see you not only as a personal resource but a resource for their network as well. When this happens your business grows exponentially.</p> <p> </p>
10083312 1336605 <p><b>The Queens Botanical Garden</b><br/>The reason why I choose this location over the other 2 bontanical garden is because it's a fairly small park. Just enough for all of us to find each other without getting lost. Besides, good photographs are the products of a good photographer, not so much as the location anyway.</p> <p>Aside from that, we will be meeting at 2:00 pm on April 18.

100833932 3867642 <p><i>Please join us for an afternoon of meditation as we take your mind through a transformational process called "unclutching" and give you practical techniques to quiet the mind and increase concentration. Our minds are so often cluttered with unwanted thoughts, so when it comes to fulfilling important tasks or concentrating on anything, be it a book, project, or whatever it may be, it becomes increasingly more difficult to find that place of stillness and peace of mind. <b>No experience with meditation necessary!</b></i></p> <p> </p> <p>This guided meditation is an effectively proven method designed by Swami Nithyananda. An enlightened Guru from India who has transformed the lives of millions of people from across the world, this specific meditation, if practiced regularly, is guaranteed to change the way you live. We are lucky to have Ayelet Shimron guiding this meditation after returning from her stay at an ashram in South India where she spent time learning techniques directly from Swami Nithyananda himself.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>THE TECHNIQUE</b></p> <p>This meditation process is a technique called "unclutching." Unclutching means experiencing the neutral space that exists between any two thoughts in our mind. That neutral space, that silence that exists between two thoughts, is peace and bliss. For more information watch this short video describing how the brain works and how unclutching meditation helps transform your mind: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jnEx1YrwaI&amp;playnext=1&amp;list=PL6ABCEB0CD88F0608&amp;feature=results_main"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jnEx1YrwaI&amp;playnext=1&amp;list=PL6ABCEB0CD88F0608&amp;feature=results_main" class="embedded">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jnEx1YrwaI&amp;playnext=1&amp;list=PL6ABCEB0CD88F0608&amp;feature=results_main</a></a></p> <p> </p> <p><b>About Ayelet:</b></p> <p><i><b>Ayelet Shimron</b> is a transformational life coach, relationship/sex consultant, motivational speaker, meditation instructor and writer.

10083469 1020990 <p>Financial advisors are finding social networking sites and blogs can be used to generate business, keep in touch with clients, and network with other professionals, all of which are increasingly critical in this environment. But such new technologies are deemed “advertisements” under rules written decades ago, prior to the proliferation of the internet and electronic communications, and are therefore subject to specific yet outdated rules.</p> <p>The instant communications can be a powerful marketing tool but it is the responsibility of the firm and its agents to comply with applicable rules and regulations. Additionally, due to the open nature of blogs and networking sites, they are subject to scrutiny by regulators from the comfort of their own offices. Of course, beyond regulatory compliance, advisors must remain mindful of liability concerns when broadcasting their thoughts.</p> <p>Join MarketCounsel’s Brian Hamburger and Dan Bernstein for a Friday afternoon conversation about how financial advisors can effectively leverage these tools and avoid pitfalls along the way. MarketCounsel is the leading business and regulatory compliance consulting firm, delivering trusted counsel and extraordinary service, to some of the country’s preeminent entrepreneurial investment advisors.</p> <p>CFP attendees are eligible for one CE credit.</p> <p>The Financial Crisis Webinar Series is a free educational service for advisors sponsored by Advisor Products Inc. Sessions are every Friday at 4 p.m. EST.</p> <p>Please RSVP for this meetup, then register at: <a href="https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/939489166"><a href="https://www1.gotomeet" class="linkified">https://www1.gotomeet</a>...</a></p> <p>Women Entrepreneurs Unite!

There will be tutorials, trainings, hands-on with the actual product designers, ideation around the next big thing, Q&amp;A on targeted topics. There will be the best networking possible. You might not make a lot of contacts, but you’ll make plenty of friends.</p> <p><b><i>Travel</i></b>: We want entrepreneurs from all around the world to attend. Phase 1 tickets will cost a few hundred dollars, and we’re holding it in February because flights to International airports like SFO and SJC are at their lowest point of the year.

10084044 1020990 <p>The paradox of tougher economic times is that customers demand more value, not less, at exactly the moment companies are looking for more cost-effective ways to deliver service. Web and mobile technologies provide important avenues to both savings and quality but the key to success remains knowing more about your existing and potential customers than your competitors do. To win the business of today's mobile, tech-savvy, product-educated, value-conscious customers you have to dig deeper, think harder, and truly understand their preferences and behavior. You have to deliver a customer experience that is superior to one they can get somewhere else or you'll lose their business.</p> <p>In this webinar our panel of experts will discuss how technology can not only help you provide an experience that customers will love, but cut costs and help you differentiate your communications strategies from your competition.</p> <p>Tune in to a live interactive discussion with a panel of sales experts, and get your questions answered. Don't miss your chance to hear from:</p> <p>Dave Schrader<br/>TeraData</p> <p>Lisa Loftis<br/>CRM and BI Expert</p> <p>Curtis Rapp<br/>Air2Web</p> <p>Rebecca Bucnis<br/>Teradata</p> <p>Register now and get your questions answered:</p> <p>How is the current economy changing customer expectations?<br/>How does the digital era change the way customers engage with your company?<br/>How does one balance the need to control and cut costs with the need for more customer insight and improved experiences?<br/>Where do I start? What are some of the must-have processes and technologies for engaging with customers?<br/>Everyone who registers will also receive a free copy of "Ringing in the Customers: Harnessing the power of Mobile Marketing," a whitepaper by Lisa Loftis, as a gift from us!</p> <p>Please RSVP for this meetup, then register at: <a href="http://smartdatacollective.com/client/sdc/1/"><a href="http://smartdatacolle" class="linkified">http://smartdatacolle</a>...</a></p> <p>Women Entrepreneurs Unite!

100845932 1327312 <p>One of my favorite NYC events &amp; experiences every year is the TD Bank Five Boro Bike Tour. This is an invigorating ride filled with amazing scenery - zipping on the loop in Central Park, heading south along the East River on the FDR, cruising on the Gowanus Expressway, and navigating the monstrous Verrazano Narrows Bridge into a Fort in Staten Island...all car-free! This 42-mile ride is obviously a big draw - about 30,000 cyclists participate - but, it is not a race...and that is what makes it such a great experience. You get to ride at your own pace &amp; take it all in!</p> <p>I have participated in this event for the past several years &amp; suggest you explore this opportunity as well. Registration opened TODAY. If it sounds interesting to you, sign up now (TODAY), because this Bike Tour always sells out in a day or two...well before the May 5th event date. Tickets are $86. Check out the site for all details including a map of the course.</p> <p>Do you bike? It would be cool to ride among a group of NYC Dads in our group...</p> <p>*Cost is $86 - sign up online at their website - <a href="https://cui.active.com/event-reg/select-race?e=3246704&amp;mailingId=&amp;recipientId=&amp;style=active" class="linkified">https://cui.active.com/event-reg/select-race?e=3246704&amp;mailingId=&amp;recipientId=&amp;style=active</a></p> <p>*Bike tour Starts at 8am &amp; takes about 4 hours to complete. Then, you hang out at the finish line party at the fort in Staten Island before taking the SI Ferry back to Manhattan. *This Bike Tour sells out very quickly. Seriously, Register online now as it is usually sold out in a day or two.</p> <p>Please only RSVP For this event AFTER you have registered for the event</p> <p>Meet other New York City Stay At Home Dads, Part-time at home dads, work from home dads, freelance dads, working dads, and <strong>involved fathers</strong> in and around NYC to socialize and interact with other guys who enjoy spending quality time with their kids during the day.</p> <p>Our primary goal is to form an inclusive &amp; active community of involved dads during the week while the rest of the world is working, so we can take advantage of what the city has to offer without the crowds &amp; within a tight budget. This still enables us to have ample time in the evenings and weekends for our family bonding.</p> <p>Organized meet up events are offered several times per week at a local park/playground, museum, playgym, children's venue, parent &amp; me class, zoo, restaurant, or someone's playroom/lounge in their building.</p> <p>There are not enough resources, support groups, or services for dads in NYC.

100846992 709584 <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p><b>PRE-PAYMENT IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND.</b></p> <p><b>Please disregard what the Meetup RSVP reminders/confirmations state. You are NOT confirmed for this event unless you pre-pay. RSVPing along does not hold a spot for you.<br/></b></p> <p><b>See payment link below in red font.</b></p> <p><br/><b>We do not accept payment at the door for these events. No exceptions.</b></p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p>Aren't you tired of emailing back and forth with that person from Match.com or OKCupid only to end up being blown off or disappointed? Here's a fun and easy way to cut to the chase, save time and have fun all at the same time.</p> <p>Show up and enjoy happy hour as all guests arrive and check in. Grab a drink and nibble the appetizers while you get ready to meet your matches.</p> <p>Join other single professionals for an early evening happy hour, topped off with about* 7-10 rounds of "mini-dates." You'll meet each member of the opposite sex for 5-7 minutes each (depending on the size of the event), turn in your dating card and then we'll send you the contact info of your mutual matches 48 hours later. On average, 80% of those who attend end up with at least one or two mutual matches.</p> <p>Why only 7-10 rounds? The more choices in front of someone, the less likely they are to  choose and focus on one specific person. We like to avoid replicating the "shopping cart" mentality that occurs with online dating.</p> <p>We intentionally keep our speeddating events limited to 7-10 dating rounds. That way , between the pre-event happy hour and the dating rounds, you can spend more time with each participant and try to determine compatibility. <b>(SEE MORE FAQ's BELOW)</b></p> <p><i><b>If you don't get any matches, you'll receive a promo code so you can try another event at half price!</b></i></p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p><b>APPETIZERS SERVED DURING CHECK IN<br/></b></p> <p><b>PAYMENT POLICY:<br/>$30 (MUST register with code ATWYS7 - codes can not be applied after registration)</b></p> <p><b>$25 IF YOU PREPAY WITH A FRIEND<br/></b></p> <p><b>REGISTER AND PAY HERE:</b> <a href="http://atwysnycspeed2013.eventbrite.com/"><a href="http://atwysnycspeed2013.eventbrite.com/" class="linkified">http://atwysnycspeed2013.eventbrite.com/</a></a></p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p>Absolutely no refunds to cancellations or no-shows.</p> <p>(This policy is to help us ensure a close to even as possible gender ratio.)</p> <p><b>Here's why you should try speeddating:</b></p> <p><b>1. You Improve Your Flirting &amp; Communication skills -</b> You went out, you interacted with people, you worked your flirt a bit. One's inability to interact or communicate effectively is one of the biggest hurdles when it comes to dating.</p> <p><b>2. You Hone Your Dating Instincts -</b> The more exposure you have to such different types of people, the quicker you learn to spot and avoid red flags or incompatibility. You become better at picking up clues and signs.</p> <p><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></p> <p><b>FAQ'S</b></p> <p><b>The Organizer RSVPD with X amount of people. What does that mean?</b></p> <p>That number represents the RSVPS (not registrations) that have come in through our other pages listed below. It is NOT the total number of people pre-paid. The typical number of people per event is 16-20. <b><br/></b></p> <p><b>What should I wear?</b></p> <p>Business casual attire is perfect. No sneakers or athletic wear, please.</p> <p><b>What if I want to give someone my contact info at the event?</b></p> <p>Go for it! That's the whole point. Do whatever you are comfortable doing.</p> <p><b>Can I see photos of other attendees?</b></p> <p>Most people do not RSVP on meetup for privacy reasons. They only pre-pay and therefore do not share their photo.</p> <p><b>Where are all the RSVPs?</b></p> <p>About 50% of the registrations come through Eventbrite and our <a href="http://andthatswhyyouresingle.com/">main events website</a>. They are not Meetup members. Many people prefer not to post their Meetup profile or photo for privacy reasons. We often remove the event from the calendar once it has started so that people can't contact attendees without the attendee's expressed permission.</p> <p><b>What's The Refund Policy?</b></p> <p>Since we need to try and ensure a gender ratio as close to even as possible, our policy is that all registrations are final. We can not offer refunds or transfers to last minute cancellations. However, if you notify us at least 3 days in advance, we can give you a credit to another event.</p> <p><b>Can I bring a friend for moral support?</b></p> <p>You'd be surprised how many people arrive alone. We actually prefer that guests do not bring friends or "spectators." It makes the other attendees uncomfortable. Fun fact: The people who sign up and arrive alone tend to get more matches than those who attend with friends.</p> <p><b>Will there be equal numbers of men or women?</b></p> <p>That's the goal. We constantly monitor registrations and amp up promotion to try and ensure and equal gender ration. Sometimes there's 1 or 2 more men or women. Sometimes it's even numbers. This is heavily dependent on the age range and weather. <i>We will NOT host an event if there isn't AT LEAST 7 of each gender registered, and we will NOT let there be an excessive (more than 3) amount of one gender versus the other.</i></p> <p><i><br/></i></p> <p><b>PLEASE</b> <b>REMEMBER:</b><br/><i>* We run 3-5 Meetup Groups, plus maintain our own outside <a href="http://www.andthatswhyyouresingle.com/">Dating Advice &amp; Events Website.</a> We advertise on Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, etc. Most registrations come through our outside events website, not Meetup. Therefore the number of RSVPs reflected here are NOT the total number of men or women registered.</i></p> <p><i><b>*This is not a guaranteed number of dates.<br/></b></i></p> <p><i><b>See other RSVPS posted on our other groups. Please note that many people opt NOT to RSVP through Meetup for privacy reasons.</b></i></p> <p>Our events are targeted to upscale/polished professionals ages 21-55 who are looking to make new social contacts.

100851012 405957 <p>Two short plays written and directed by Oriza Hirata and in collaboration with Dr. Hiroshi Ishiguro, a leading international researcher on robotics and director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at Osaka University in Japan. In the first play, "Sayonara" (android and human actors), an android is bought to console a girl suffering from a fatal illness, but when its mechanics go awry, the meaning of life and death is questioned. In the second play, "I, Worker" (robots and human actors), a husband's struggle to cope with the loss of his child is juxtaposed with the malaise of one of his robots. This double bill will be performed by Hirata’s Seinendan Theater Company, in English and Japanese with English subtitles. Three performances scheduled, February 7-9 at 7:30 pm.</p> <p>TICKETS<br/>$28/$25 Japan Society members</p> <p>For more information, please visit: <a href="http://www.japansociety.org/" class="linkified">http://www.japansociety.org/</a></p> <p><span>We meet informally to share information about robotics technologies, projects, resources, and opportunities.

The game is played with about 6 players. One person takes the role of storyteller, AKA the Dungeon Master, and narrates the story in a medieval fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, romance, intrigue, and adventure. The rest of the players take on the roles of individual fictional characters and explore that world, often becoming heroes in the story. The story is like a completely interactive "choose your own adventure" book. Different shaped dice are used to determine the outcome of attempted actions.</p> <p>Scheduling games of D&amp;D is a little more complicated than just showing up for a game. There are three different ways people assemble to play D&amp;D.</p> <ol> <li>We have the "open to all" meetups that are on the first Saturday of the month in Manhattan and the third Sunday of the month in Brooklyn.</li> <li>We have the RPGA Organized Play meetups which are every Tuesday night.</li> <li>We have "Campaign Gaming" where DMs run longer adventures that span several weeks.</li> </ol> <p> <strong>Please read</strong> this&nbsp; <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYC-DND/messages/boards/thread/4217607">http://www.meetup.com/NYC-DND/messages/boards/thread/4217607</a> on the message board for more clarification.

Join John Granata for a comprehensive course that takes the guesswork out of fine art photo paper selection. The Essence of the Fine Art Photographic Print is an interactive class in which students discuss the properties of fine art papers and how to effectively chose them to compliment your image.</p> <p>During several meetings you will be provided with over $100 of paper samples of most of the fine art papers Calumet has to offer.</p> <p>Each week your homework will be to print out samples that we will thoroughly examine in the next class. This class is not about your images it is all about the paper. Sometimes the smallest details make the largest impact. Together we will look at qualities such as texture, brightness, warmth, and finish. Then discuss how each of these properties affect the image.</p> <p><b><br/>Expectations:</b></p> <p>The essence of the fine art photographic print is an intensive class. Students need to have experience with printing and should be able to print several photos as homework each week. Participating in weekly discussion on the merits of each paper will enhance students learning experience.</p> <p>John Granata is an award winning photographer who participates in several fine art shows throughout the year. Along with an extensive knowledge of many fine art papers he also works extensively with alternative print methods. His images are displayed on fine art paper, rice paper, stainless steel, and glass.<a href="http://www.johngranata.net/">&lt;/a&gt;</p> <p> </p> <p>&lt;a href="http://www.johngranata.net/" target="_blank"&gt;Click here to view John's portfolio.</a></p> <p><b>Schedule - class meets Wednesdays from 7 - 9pm</b></p> <p><br/>February 13th February 20th February 27th March 6th March 13th March 20th</p> <p> __________________________________</p> <p><b>Essential Details</b></p> <p><b>When: Wednesday, February 13 - Wednesday, March 20</b></p> <p><b>Tuition:</b> <b>$295 for all six sessions, paper samples included</b></p> <p><b><a href="http://www.cvent.com/events/the-essence-of-the-fine-art-photographic-print/event-summary-7407f53291134c51b559742ddd86a3c8.aspx">CLICK HERE TO REGISTER</a></b></p> <p>Enjoy a variety of events, seminars and exhibits to ensure on-going photo education within the community.

10085640 1212834 <p>Hello Chi Bi Members!</p> <p>The Chicago Pride Parade is a huge event in Chicago's GLBT calendar. I would like Bisexuals to be a part of it!!</p> <p>Why this is good:<br/>-Huge visibility. Millions of people within both the gay and straight community will see - We Exist!<br/>-Bi Pride. The Pride Parade was originally setup not as a fun-fest, but a time to stand up and be counted. By marching, we get at the heart of the original intent of what the parade was for. We get to stand up for ourselves.<br/>-For many years i have watched the parade. I would have LOVED to have seen a Bi Group go by. Instead i felt somewhat unrecognized, unwelcome, and invisible. There are MANY that will take comfort and joy to see us go by. They may be silent, but will feel recognized in their heart. I want to march for Those People.</p> <p>Why this is challenging:<br/>-We know that Bi/Queers arent welcomed by many in both the gay and straight community. Its difficult to be around some (many?) that may be silently or openly non-supportive.<br/>-Personal visibility. Bi's are known to be 'The Invisible Communiity'. This invisibility is mostly frustrating but can be comforting too. On June 28th, we in the parade will ALL be visible. This is a point of vulnerability (but also Strength).</p> <p>So Please, consider marching with me on June 28th! I know this may be a challenge, but all things worthwhile are.</p> <p>Best,<br/>Noel</p> <p>This a place for bisexuals to form community! We welcome all bisexuals of every gender that believe in the spirit of the message [see about page] and the importance of community! Come Join!</p>

100856722 3100072 <p>Hello Coders,</p> <p>Come on down to NYU-Poly Incubator in Dumbo and code with friends. This is the usual format, just bring your laptop and beverage of choice and let's code or speak of code. If enough of us want to order pizza we will do it as a group. We will stay until we want to go home, late but not overnight.</p> <p>There is no skill level pre-requisite as we are open to all levels and languages and everyone who enjoys programming is encouraged to come.</p> <p>Last meetup we had a great Node code presentation for Eleusis, an educational card game (&lt;a&gt;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleusis_(card_game)&lt;/a&gt" class="linkified">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleusis_(card_game)&lt;/a&gt</a>;) , by Larry LeFever and it followed with a discussion on education and the possibility of putting together a team to collaborate and build an entry for the NYC Schools Gap App Challenge (<a href="http://nycschools.challengepost.com/"><a href="http://nycschools.challengepost.com/" class="linkified">http://nycschools.challengepost.com/</a></a>). If you have any ideas or would like to continue the discussion, please show up or post a comment for this meetup.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Seth and Scott</p> <p>This is a meetup for programmers who support, work or live in the Brooklyn community. It is a very loosely formatted  event and it involves showing code, talking about code and coding. This is not just a come, listen and network experience, you are the experience. <span>Coders from all levels are encouraged to come.</span> Designers need not fear us either. We have quite a few programmers in the group who started with a pure design path and learned to code. We especially encourage those wishing to start that path as we welcome your super powers. We usually meet at the NYU-Poly DUMBO Incubator and they are awesome hosts.</p> <p><strong>Come be part of the community!</strong></p> <p> </p>

Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

This is the original Vampire Ball held since 1996 traditionally on or near Valentines Day weekend and has been held at legendary club venues such as Limelight / Avalon, The Bank / Element, Coney Island High and MOTHER.</p> <p><br/>Endless Night Vampire Ball events are a series of masquerade ball themed soirees produced by Father Sebastiaan of SABRETOOTH, which began in New York City in 1996 with the “Vampyre Ball of New York” and the “Main Event” in New Orleans over Halloween weekend. The name Endless Night comes from the William Blake poem “Ages of Innocence “ in which he states “Some are born to Sweet Delight, Others are born to Endless Night.”</p> <p>The Endless Night Vampire Ball 2010 at the House of Blues in New Orleans was rated the #1 Halloween party in the world by TripAdvisor.com! As a professional organization we have decided to prepare for this event immediately to capture the excitement we are feeling with our patrons!</p> <p>Over the years the Endless Night is known for its many productions including Long Black Veil (LBV) at MOTHER NYC, Xorvia chiche fetish parties, Xcommunicate, Black Xion in Amsterdam, Lutetia Noir in Paris and Fang Club Gotham. Now all the events are simply known as “The Endless Night Vampire Ball.” Yet each varies in size from a small party in Paris with 300 to the larger event in NYC with 600+ to New Orleans with over 1000+ patrons.</p> <p>The first Endless Night events cumulated with the flagship event, Endless Night Festival in 1998 over Halloween weekend in New Orleans. During this time the Vampire Ball of New York and Long Black Veil were running strong until the events of September 11th, 2001 in New York, but the New Orleans event still kept going.</p> <p>Endless Night parties have inspired legendary clubs such as Hidden Shadows Realm of Darkness and the Black Veil party in Osaka Japan. In Fall of 2010 the Endless Night begins a 3 year world tour with events planned in Miami, New York, New Orleans, Paris, Chicago.</p> <p>THE EXPERIENCE:<br/>Many who come through the Gates of the Endless Night never truly know what to expect until after their first event. Burlesque &amp; belly dancers, local and internationally renowned DJs weave a unique auditory experience, opera singers, live bands such as Inkubus Sukkubus, Cruxshadows and gODHEAD, a Mistress / Master of Ceremonies ranging from local celebrities such as Empress Chi Chi Valenti and Lord Chaz of New Orleans preside over a crowd dressed in a variety of costumes from medieval to steampunk to fetish.</p> <p>What makes the Endless Night most unique is the vampire and masque ball theme touched off with a Belle Epoch salon noir from the esoteric renaissance of 1890s France. Always changing and morphing according to new and diverse interests Endless Nights is purely a unique experience which is unforgettable.</p> <p>NEUTRAL GROUND:<br/>The Endless Night Vampire Ball is an event which is a neutral ground for all alternative tribes to unite in ceremonial pleasure, dance, music, aesthetic expression and performance. Amongst our patrons we have vampires, Vampyres, Strigoi Vii, Burners, LGBT, performers, burlesque dancers, artists, modern primitives, BDSM, fetishists, latex lovers, those of alternative spiritualities, musicians, dragqueens, fashionistas, metalheads, rockers, goths, steampunks and all of our friends and admirers. All we ask is you come with the intent of an open mind, spend countless hours thinking about your costumes and bring positive energies to share with all.</p> <p><br/>WHO IS FRED SAMEDI?<br/>Fred Samedi is our guardian spirit of the events born and came to Father Sebastiaan in a vision quest in preparation for the Endless Night Vampire Ball of New Orleans in 2007. Mysteriously designer Chad Savage was able to bring this vision to conception with his graphic design and thus Fred became our sigilium for Endless Night events. He is inspired by and reflect the Haitian voodoo Loa, Baron Saturday, the Loa of the dead. The Loa are voodoo spirits which act as intermediaries between the creator Bondye and the mortal world.</p> <p>It is traditional for patrons of the event to bring an offering of a small gift of coins, candles, flowers, cigars, rum, black coffee, grilled peanuts or incense to ask Fred Samedi his altar at the venue for his blessing on a successful and fabulous event. He is also the official gatekeeper of the event and wishes all those to be within the dresscode. Often a voodoo priest/ess or Strigoi Vii Magister or Deacon will be present to perform the commencement ritual of the ball by calling on Fred Samedi to join us in the ball.</p> <p>Fred often will play pranks on patrons, encourage people who would never expect to meet become friends, heals long lost relations between friends and he finds great pleasure introducing lovers. One thing Fred is known for is to bring people last minute to events who would never even think of going and introducing them to the Endless Nights. How many people have spontaneously come to down to New Orleans and never left! You can find an example of this with the Fangsmith Maven who came to New Orleans in 1998 for the first NOLA party and never left!</p> <p>You can friend Fred Samedi on Facebook at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/endlessnight"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/endlessnight" class="linkified">http://www.facebook.com/endlessnight</a></a></p> <p>HOTEL:<br/>We suggest everyone who is from out of town and wants a great hotel rate stay at the Saint Mark's Hotel, right in the heart of the East Village.</p> <p>VENUE:<br/>This event will take place on a Sunday night Presidents Day Weekend at Club Element, 225 E.

It helps us open up to our divine nature and rid ourselves of the distortions allowing us to feel more joy and love in our lives. When we are in that state life becomes easier and our world flows in more supportive ways then we can imagine. As we are in that natural peak&nbsp;state we&nbsp;&nbsp;are able to radiate this energy&nbsp;out from us&nbsp;.With this attunement we gift the world with all the wonderful qualities of peace, love, compassion&nbsp;that we&nbsp;are holding; in&nbsp;that space we create &nbsp;for ourselves and others we are able to &nbsp;transform the planet with our good intentions. We are thereby creating a ripple effect that flows around the entire universe.&nbsp;</p> <p>Recently on 11-11-11 people from all over the world meditated for world peace and oneness. The planet has felt the shift in the energy. Maybe some of you who are sensitive to energy feel that shift. When we get together collectively we build that energy, the collective consciousness for positive change . You are invited in this group to shift to your highest consciousness to help heal yourself and the planet.</p> <p>We welcome all people who would like to have more peace, love, and happiness in the world. The group will have social activities, and workshops on helping create the shift and healing energies to develop yourself more fully. Each person of us can make a difference and all we need is the willingness to put our energy into that intention. The group will have a spiritual focus.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&ldquo;World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.&rdquo; &#8213; Dalai Lama XIV</p>

A small sailing craft is not only beautiful, it is seductive and full of strange promise and the hint of trouble." - From The Sea and The Wind That Blows E. B. White -- 1899-1985" Meet with other sailing enthusiasts at our Meetup events, attend sailing education seminars, share stories, find skippers, find crew, and go sailing!!  Last year many members became crew on competitive racing boats, others learned to sail, and some went for day sails cruising around Long Island Sound. We offer through City Island Yacht Club, a Club Boat Timeshare that offers unlimited sailing on two Catalina 25's and a J/24.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : 13px">Last year's "Speed Sailing" event included 120 skippers and  potential crew members</span> <span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : 13px">connecting</span><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : 13px">.  No sailing experience is necessary, we offer a range of seminars that appeal to all levels, from newbies to advanced sailors. Our Meetup events are held on City Island, about an hour's ride from Grand Central Station on the #6 Lexington Ave local plus a short bus ride, also convenient to the Hutchinson River Parkway and the I-95. There is even a direct Express Bus that runs up Madison Ave right to City Island!

10087222 403172 <p>Hi guys and gals!</p> <p>Let's enjoy our new sponsorship with VE! (You have to <b>join the member list</b> to receive the discounted rate of $10. It's $15 for non-members. To join the list just email me your first and last name.)</p> <p>Vertical Endeavors is located inside a Lifetime Fitness. They have rental shoes and harnesses for a small fee. If you have never climbed before the staff will run you through a really quick course in belaying and safety.</p> <p>If you get there before us, try to come meet us in the cafe at 1pm. (I would love to have t-shirts made for the group! View the message board for my post about a CCC logo contest.)</p> <p><b>Car Pooling:</b><br/>If you would like to carpool, in your RSVP state whether you need a ride or can give a ride, and where you are located in the city.</p> <p>Hope you can join us!</p> <p>Kasey</p> <p>BEFORE YOU JOIN THIS GROUP you are to read and agree to the following terms and conditions. By being a part of this network you publicly acknowledge that you understand and completely agree to the following: 1. This is an online social network which meets periodically in person. This Meetup group is not a substitute for competent, professional climbing instruction from an American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) certified instructor. If you are looking for a qualified rock climbing instructor, please visit Fox Mountain Guides and Climbing School http://www.FoxMountainGuides.com. 2. What goes up, must come down. Falling is a part of climbing. Falling is considered by those participating in the sport of rock climbing to be an accepted risk. Sometimes a fall could leave you injured or dead. Again, the consequences of a fall, no matter how severe, are an accepted risk to the climber and belayer. If you get hurt during an event posted on this website, it is completely your responsibility. You are not to blame anyone else! BY JOINING THIS GROUP YOU ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR SAFETY, HEALTH, AND WELL-BEING WITH NO EXCEPTIONS. 3. The Organizer, Assistant Organizers, Members, and Sponsor of the Chicago Rock Climbing Meetup Group do not guarantee the competence of any individual. IF YOU DO NOT WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THEN YOU ARE ALTOGETHER DISCOURAGED FROM AND IN NO WAY INVITED TO JOIN THIS GROUP. Now that the heavy stuff is understood, we do encourage those who agree to the aforementioned terms and conditions, and who have a hint of courage, to join this group. It provides an excellent opportunity to learn an incredibly challenging, dangerous, and rewarding sport. This particular group is made up mainly of those with minimal experience. It is used as a way to meet new people and try new things within the sport of rock climbing. We learn together. Being in Chicago, most of our events take place indoors at manufactured climbing facilities. Our outdoor trips are usually to Devil's Lake in Wisconsin and Red River Gorge in Kentucky. (About 200 and 400 miles from Chicago respectively.) Most outdoor trips are lead by AMGA (http://www.amga.com) certified instructors. These trips usually require an investment of under $80 and include all the equipment you will need for rock climbing. Happy climbing!</p>
100872322 6566782 <p>Brooklyn Boulders (BKB) is the city’s largest and possibly most popular rock-climbing gym, with a 22,000-square-foot area of endless different sets of 40 foot climbing walls (40 top-roped walls total), as well as a ton of challenging 12-15 foot bouldering walls.</p> <p>To understand the difference between Climbing and Bouldering at BKB:</p> <p>Bouldering is climbing done on short walls without ropes. The bouldering walls range from 10 to 15 feet high. All of BKB’s bouldering is above 12 inch thick pads to cushion any potential falls. There is no certification requirement for bouldering.</p> <p>NOTE: Brooklyn Boulders requires that you become belay certified in order to belay on our top ropes. Everyone who wishes to belay must pass a certification test to demonstrate that they can handle the ropes properly. The test just requires basic knowledge of strapping a harness, tying knots, and securely demonstrating a belay. If you already have a belay certification at BKB, just bring your card and you are set.</p> <p>Cost:</p> <p>$18 group rate for gym pass unlimited use of all walls for that day PLUS gear rentals also being included in that (shoes, harness). You can ofcourse bring your own gear also but that does not discount the price.</p> <p>Payment will be made at the gym, no advanced payment required.</p> <p>Please wear comfortable clothes that are STRETCHY! Do not wear anything that restricts full range of movement. Shorts/Tshirt/Yoga pants are the easiest, this is indoors and temps are warm inside. Climbing shoes will be rented. They have changing rooms and lockers/cubbies for use. Water fountains are also available but bring a bottle to fill up.</p> <p>If this is your first time at BKB, you will have to sign their personal waiver upon arrival.</p> <p>Please feel free to message/email me with any questions.</p> <p>This is a group for people looking to escape the city routine and enjoy in the great outdoors of the Northeast. If you are interested in hiking, camping, backpacking, whitewater rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, skiing and other similar activities but your friends do not share your passion for the nature and high adrenaline sports - you came to the right place...Adventure Outlet will enable you to get in touch with like-minded people, and join them on one of the adventures. If you know of a great hiking trail in your area, or you found a piece of undiscovered nature and you would like to share it with others - even better. Contact us, and we will help you plan and host an event. Our goal is to build a close-knit group of outdoors enthusiasts and provide a friendly and stress free environment.</p>

When she had children of her own, her passion for feeding them the same food her mother had fed her ignited a spark to create a cookbook filled with Indian recipes.</p> <p>Demystify the world of Indian spices and cooking with an interactive dinner party at Anupy’s house. Watch as Anupy demonstrates how cooking Indian food differs from other cuisines you’re accustomed to while she crafts a homemade six-course dinner from scratch.

100872962 1286261 <p>Come find us up in the Kandinsky section and say hello!</p> <p>PAY WHAT YOU WISH<br/>Saturdays from 5:45 pm to 7:45 pm (last ticket issued at 7:15 pm)</p> <p>Perhaps more than any other 20th-century painter, Vasily Kandinsky (b. 1866, Moscow; d. 1944, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France) has been closely linked to the history of the Guggenheim Museum. Hilla Rebay—artist, art advisor, and the museum’s first director—promoted nonobjective painting above all other forms of abstraction. She was particularly inspired by the work and writing of Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstraction, who believed that the task of the painter was to convey his own inner world, rather than imitate the natural world. The museum’s holdings have grown to include more than 150 works by Kandinsky, and focused exhibitions of his works are presented in the Kandinsky Gallery on Annex Level 3. The current installation, <i>Kandinsky 1911–1913</i>, highlights paintings completed at the moment the artist made great strides toward complete abstraction and published his aesthetic treatise, <i>On the Spiritual in Art</i> (1911, though dated 1912). Also featured are paintings by Robert Delaunay and Franz Marc that were exhibited alongside the work of Kandinsky and others in the landmark 1912 Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) exhibition held at the Moderne Galerie Heinrich Thannhauser in Munich.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color : #272727">Because we are smart enough to know how to have fun through unique events!

100873922 6745272 <p><a href="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/b/6/2/event_199355682.jpegPAY" class="linkified">http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/b/6/2/event_199355682.jpegPAY</a> WHAT YOU WISH<br/>Saturdays from 5:45 pm to 7:45 pm (last ticket issued at 7:15 pm)</p> <p>Perhaps more than any other 20th-century painter, Vasily Kandinsky (b. 1866, Moscow; d. 1944, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France) has been closely linked to the history of the Guggenheim Museum. Hilla Rebay—artist, art advisor, and the museum’s first director—promoted nonobjective painting above all other forms of abstraction. She was particularly inspired by the work and writing of Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstraction, who believed that the task of the painter was to convey his own inner world, rather than imitate the natural world. The museum’s holdings have grown to include more than 150 works by Kandinsky, and focused exhibitions of his works are presented in the Kandinsky Gallery on Annex Level 3. The current installation, Kandinsky 1911–1913, highlights paintings completed at the moment the artist made great strides toward complete abstraction and published his aesthetic treatise, On the Spiritual in Art (1911, though dated 1912). Also featured are paintings by Robert Delaunay and Franz Marc that were exhibited alongside the work of Kandinsky and others in the landmark 1912 Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) exhibition held at the Moderne Galerie Heinrich Thannhauser in Munich.</p> <p>This group will meet periodically as interesting events (museum exhibits, literary events, music, film, theater, etc) come up. The idea for this group is that participants will meet before the event, at a nearby cafe or diner, to get to know each other and then attend the event together. Occasionally, we may also go out afterward for coffee or a drink to have fun and discuss our ideas.</p> <p>RSVPs may be limited for some events. There will be a nominal charge (nonrefundable) for each event, primarily in order to discourage no-shows, but also to defray the cost of organizing meetup events. If you are not comfortable with paying the nominal charge for an event, please do not RSVP. I look forward to meeting you!</p>

100874702 4373332 <p>A one-time introduction class, in which you'll learn three enjoyable ways to practice Mantra Meditation.</p> <p>Meditation Chicago offers Mantra Meditation classes and <em>kirtan</em> gatherings. Learn a relaxing and enjoyable practice that you can easily apply, which will give you peace of heart and mind, answers to your troubling questions, and spiritual awakening. In keeping with ancient tradition, all of our classes and events are free of charge.</p> <p>Experience compels us to point out that, although we welcome questions, our class is not a discussion group. Occasionally, someone tries to take over our class and "enlighten" our students by promoting their own path. This is disrespectful, especially to our students who have come to learn Mantra Meditation, not some other process.</p> <p>For class and gathering updates, and words of wisdom from the great spiritual teachers, follow us on Twitter: @MeditationChgo</p>

You will have opportunities to learn from others, to challenge yourself, have fun, hopefully you will find the right special someone. Our members mingle, but they also make true friends, as members having found their soul mate through us are more than welcome to stay and share this experience.</p> <p>Our members are singles and elite, but most importantly, they are unique, that's the thing that matters the most in everyone's quest for love. What can you expect out of our group ? Our typical activities will be going out together, meet, mingle, and learn from each others. We like the concept of speed dating but we think a "slow dating" event is even better, themed parties, watching movies, going together to museums exhibition and tours with curators.</p> <p> </p> <p>What we are NOT and we do NOT do :</p> <p>We respect individuals (you) as well as Meetup group's community guidelines. In particular :</p> <p>? We don't primarily promote a product, business, venue or service</p> <p>? We don't divert members to another website and we don't act as a lead generator for another website</p> <p>? We never send spam and we don't primarily broadcast messages rather than have events</p> <p>?

100878502 1233861 <p>Hi Everyone, </p> <p>I’m really excited to announce that on February 6th we’ll be holding our first meet-up of the year at the ISE!  We have a special guest for this meet-up.  One of our members David Yu has prepared a great presentation that will discuss volatilities, risk, Greeks and how to calculate volatility for special events.  Additionally, he will scratch the service discussing fundamental equity analysis and how that can be applied to options. </p> <p>David has worked on both the buy and sellside at some of the largest firms on Wall Street as an analyst, trader and PM for equities, derivatives and credit.  He brings tremendous insight and perspective to the world of trading.</p> <p>We’re really thrilled to have him lead this meet-up.  As always we’ll leave some time for a few members to discuss their trades and analyze the risks associated with those positions. </p> <p>I’m looking forward to seeing everyone!</p> <p>Meet options enthusiasts, aficionados, self proclaimed experts and industry veterans. Discuss options mechanics, trading strategies, prudent use of derivatives and pros and cons of options trading: simple and complex options spreads and various sensitivities of options prices to the underlying security, time to expiration, volatility and so on (i.e. the greeks).</p> <p>Relationships between options and futures markets, pairs trading, inter-index spreading and so on. Portfolio management and current market conditions - how well are we positioned? Both professionals and amateurs are welcome. Those new to the options world are also welcome.</p> <p>Please, note that the mailing list is open to all members and I encourage you to use it. The purpose of the mailing list is to ask options related questions and to discuss options trading strategies, education, and so on.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align : center"><img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/8/d/a/event_16938650.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px"></p>

The works critiqued, in this group, are generally by dedicated, serious writers, though all writers are welcome. Those who are dedicated to the creation of a worthwhile piece of writing, or to the pursuit of publishing, will benefit from this group. However, all members are welcome to share work, for critique. The way in which our group operates is flexible, and may change, based on the will and interests of its members.</p> <p>At our meetings, writers share a piece of their work, and the people at the meeting share their thoughts (in discussion and / or (optionally) writing). The way writing is shared and critiqued is flexible, and may change, based on the preferences of the group. It is best to read the details of each meeting. However, there are some common features.</p> <p>One option for sharing work is posting online. This allows people to think about the piece, during the time between meetings, and hopefully give a better critique. Members may add, edit, or delete their own piece, whenever they want. You can go to the link below, to post your own work (please indicate the meeting at which you want the work critiqued). Also, you can view the work of other members (some are only viewable by members who are logged in):</p> <p><a href="http://www.meetup.com/author/files/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/author/files/</a><br> <br> Additionally, work can be read aloud. Some meetings provide other options as well.</p> <p>In addition to regular writing critique meetings, we may host or participate in other writing related activities (i.e. collaborative writing sessions, writing workshops, readings, discussions and more.) These may be scheduled by member request. Please discuss ideas for this on the Message Board.</p> <p>Feel free to email about any questions or suggestions.</p>

I highly recommend bringing a 2nd pair of socks in case your feet get wet crossing the stream. You will see the Apshawa Preserve parking lot once you turn on Northwood Dive. We will meet there.

The Hiking grades are: <span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>Easy:</strong></span> These hikes are 3 to 5 miles in length and should have no significant hills. <span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>Moderate:</strong></span> These hikes are 5 to 8 miles and may take up to 5 hours, including time for trail lunch. They should not generally have multiple long steep hills, and should be at a moderate pace. <span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>Moderately Strenuous:</strong></span> These hikes are 5 to 8 miles with multiple steep hills or 8 miles or more which are mostly flat walking. They can last up to 6 hours, including trail lunch. Pace to be moderate. <span style="text-decoration : underline"><strong>Strenuous:</strong></span> Not for novices. Hikes are 8 miles or more and last 6 hours or more, including time for trail lunch. These may have many long steep hills and may be at a brisk pace. Most hikes get back about 4:00 in the afternoon. But that is not a certainty. Conditions may force an early end, or hikers may be slower than expected.</p> <p><strong>Kayaking:</strong> This group is for all skill levels. We meet regularly in late spring and summer. <span>If you are a beginner, this is the place to start. Neil can give you advice before you buy any gear. If you are an experienced paddler, this group is an ideal way to meet other paddlers to talk about gear, local paddle spots, and to plan trips.</span></p> <p><span><strong>Cycling:</strong></span> <span style="font-size : medium">Our cycling is flat rides to moderately difficult, mid- to long distance, 10-25 miles<strong>.</strong> <span style="font-size : medium">We are never in "race mode" and our aim is to encourage cycling and socializing.  The details will be posted for each ride so you can decide if it will be suit your level of fitness.

Neither are we rangers. Going out with us is the same as going out with a few friends. Expect the same risks, take the same precautions. As Organizers, we will do our best to give accurate descriptions of the hikes we post. If you are a beginner in hiking, the elevation over the length of the hike and distance may not mean much to you. Likewise, difficulty ratings are subjective, and a hike that is 'Easy' to one person may be 'Moderate' to another. Err on the side of caution. You're much better off going on a hike that's too easy for you than a hike that's too hard or too dangerous for you. As you go on more hikes with us, you'll become more familiar with our ratings and our descriptions, and you'll learn more about your own limits. Ultimately, it's up to you to keep yourself safe out there. Hike within your abilities</span></p>

We encourage you to mingle with fellow attendees before and afterwards. Checkout our member profiles - you'll find an amazing array of entrepreneurs, contrarians, tech visionaries, big thinkers, creative types, media and more.</p> <p><strong>Our topics are unlimited.</strong> Past events looked at music, chocolate, women in innovation, sustainability, space commercialization, the Lowline, the Ocean, web privacy, 3D Printing and media.

10088203 1324175 <p>Hello all -</p> <p>The Winter Ladder is winding down – we’ve had a great 12 weeks of wall smackin play, and are ready for round 2. With that, it is time to kick off the Spring’09 ladder. Please read the below details carefully as we are going to switch it up a bit. Also disregard the start date of this meetup. Slots will remain open until we have enough players, so start RSVPing asap. If you have more questions, please feel free to contact me directly. -- Thx, Paul</p> <p>2009 SPRING LADDER DETAILS</p> <p>Ladder details:</p> <p>1) Minimum of 10 players are needed to start this ladder. 12-15 players is optimal. I will wait until we have the desired size to start formally organizing the ladder.</p> <p>2) Ladder players will play 4-5 matches over 2 months depending on ladder size. This includes 1-2 scrimmage games (to get the kinks out) and then the remaining match games for points. Each match is best 2 out of 3. Scores will be passed to the organizer with rankings &amp; standings developing over time as you play in more ladders.</p> <p>3) Cost for the ladder is appx $10 per game plus a small $2 fee to pay for the upkeep of this ladder hosted online. So 4 games = $42. 5 games = $52 etc. The location of the courts will be at the Baruch College Athletic Center in Manhattan @ 24th Street &amp; Lexington Avenue.</p> <p>The price is based on Baruch’s cost per day pass. Other players might opt for a monthly pass, which is more $$, but allows you daily access to the gym and all its facilities.</p> <p>4) Skill level will be varied ranging from C +/- to B-</p> <p>I will do my best to group like skill levels together. This means <b>you</b> have to do your best at describing to me your skill levels. Please include somewhere so I can figure that out, either in your profiles, your intros, or in your RSVP message.</p> <p>For those that have not been rated, a typical C-Level player has played a lot at some given point in time (college, local gym, local ladder), might still play occasionally (few times a year), and is looking to get back into the swing of things. A typical B-level player has excellent control of all types of shot, and can kill the ball at will. I want to be strict about skill level for this ladder as this is the majority of players. If there is demand to open up the levels to beginner or high B, I will try and accommodate.</p> <p>5) This ladder is self-organized and up to you.</p> <p>I cannot stress this point enough. I will provide the email list, but you are responsible for purchasing your court passes, setting up all matches, reserving the courts, and organizing in a timely fashion. You will be playing 4-5 games in 2 months. That means approximately 1 game per week. If you cannot commit to that participation, DO NOT join this ladder. This ladder takes time – and if you’re the kind of person that is very busy, or gets distracted, DO NOT join. If you get injured mid-ladder, you must notify me so I can adjust the organization. It is critical to abide by this commitment else be removed from the ladder as it’s not fair to the other players.</p> <p>6) You are responsible for your own equipment and proper attire. This means racquet, ball, protective eyewear and sneakers that do not mark the walls. If you choose not to bring eye-ware, you do so at your own risk.</p> <p>And that’s about it for now. Let’s get this going. Please RSVP if you want to play, and contact me directly if you have any more questions. More info will be provided after the RSVP closing date. Game On</p> If you love to play racquetball, but can’t find a court or some friendly games to get going, welcome to the club. New York City has proven to be a tough place for racquetballers. Seems there are a lot of us who want to play – but there is very little in terms of local organization and even fewer places to get a court. So having little to no options, I decided to create the NYC Racquetball Meetup group to get something going. This group is intended to be a starting point to growing an NYC-based racquetball community where people can self-organize games, events and get information. We will start with quarterly ladders, and then hopefully add in pick-up game nights and round-robin tournaments once the group grows. Who knows, maybe we can add a little social element to this as well. So get in on the action! Join for fun, or if you are joining for competition or for a ladder, please mention that specifically in your intro, or separate email. See first meetup for details -- Paul

100886802 3109172 <p>A free sing-a-long for children (all ages) at the South Orange Public Library</p> <p>Babyventure was founded to create a meeting place for families to experience new adventures together. We welcome pregnant or new moms who need a support system, toddler parents looking for friends for themselves and their children, and families looking for fun things to do with other families.  There are so many great activities in the area and over the years we have spent our time getting to know some of the nicest families while we camp, hike, go on beach trips, to the zoo, ice skating, ski trips, going out to eat, play dates, childrens play places, libraries, workshops, etc.  I have made life long friends in creating this group and I hope that you are able to experience the same by joining us.</p>

10089212 1242525 <p>After several meetings our membership is growing and you now have an opportunity to meet more investors than ever!<br/>We'll use the time to get to know each other, talk about being Real Estate Buyers &amp; Investors, and we will discuss a particular topic in real estate and show techniques and tips for being successful.</p> <p>What kind of real estate market are we in now? A great market!! If you don't think that way, you need to get yourself educated, because so many people make so much money from pre-foreclosure, foreclosure, shortsales, REO, Apartment building and condo conversion, buy and hold. Do you notice that real estate is the only thing when it's on sale and nobody wants it.</p> <p>Topics will include: what's going on in the real estate market (Hint: It's not what you hear in the media); how to make money; how to become wealthy; overcoming your fear of success; and much more.</p> <p>*Enjoy a great lunch ranging between $12 - $15 during the one hour meetup.</p> <p>Don't believe all the hype you hear from the talking heads on the T.V. It's not all doom and gloom, there are areas all over the country that are still appreciating. Besides, an educated investor knows how to make money if the market is going up, down, or sideways.</p> <p>It all comes down to being educated. When former Fed. Chairman Alan Greenspan was asked what he thought the difference was between the wealthy and the middle class, his answer was very simple, "The right education!" and he wasn't talking about going to college. If you want to do make money investing in anything, you need to be properly educated.</p> <p>Are you ready to start receiving "The right education"?</p> <p>The Community Network is the support you need to create a successful real estate portfolio! Just by being a member of the Community, YOU will have exclusive access to real estate investor services, professional contacts, real estate investing opportunities, and best of all - the camaraderie of like-minded real estate investors!</p> <p>Meet fellow NEW RICH Real Estate Buyers and Investors near you! All are welcome!</p>

But rather than mourn, the local Irish music community will pull together on this night for a charity benefit concert. Proceeds will be split between the Andrew Grene Foundation, which supports multiple projects in Haiti, including education, and the trust fund that's been set up to cover the future education expenses for Ray's son Jude.</p> <p>Confirmed performers at this benefit concert include: The Prodigals and Whiskey Asylum, which includes members of The Mickey Finns; Joanie Madden (Cherish the Ladies); Padraig Allen and Buddy Connolly (McLean Avenue Band); Allen Gogarty; and uilleann pipers Cillian Vallely (Lunasa) and Ivan Goff.

We welcome musicians who wish to play this music or learn how to play it as well as fans who wish to see live shows by artists in this genre. New York City has a rich Celtic music scene and we meet several times a month to see live bands play, including local, national and international acts. We also meet regularly for open traditional Irish seisiuns, including the Tuesday night seisiun at Dempsey's, the longest-running open seisiun in New York, providing an opportunity for musicians in our group to become more active in the seisiuns. Whether you're interested in Irish traditional music, sean nos songs, classic Irish or Scottish folk, Celtic rock and punk or any other form of Celtic music, whether you like to play the music or just like to watch and listen, you should join this active, friendly and fun group. We welcome assistant organizers to help us hold even more events.</p>

10090133 166137 <p>Hello Everyone,</p> <p>This is very short notice but I'm putting together a blind tasting for this coming Friday for those of you who can make it. I have some students from my classes coming in so there are only 10 more spots for people who would like to join from our group.</p> <p>1. Please know that BLIND TASTING IS DIFFICULT, even for the most experienced industry professionals. So please choose wines made from major grape varieties that are relatively easy to identify. The chances are that most people will not be able to guess what it is anyway.</p> <p>2. Please bring something typical of what it is. If you are in doubt discuss with the store rep if the wine is a good representative of what it says on the bottle.</p> <p>3. Please bring a good quality wine. This is a learning exercise and it is very difficult to learn from poor quality wines. If you like, you can team up with a group member and bring one bottle for the two of you. In such circumstances, make sure that the price of the bottle you bring justifies the sharing between two people.</p> <p>The $5 charge is non-refundable. It is simply there so that people won't just RSVP and forget about it. Please be considerate of your group members and change your RSVP as soon as your plans change. If necessary, I will be removing 'Maybe' or unpaid RSVPs to make room for other people.</p> NYC Wine Club is the perfect group to join if you are looking to learn, discover and taste better wines, get to know sommeliers, winemakers, wine writers and true enthusiasts, and take your wine knowledge to the next level. We diversify the events so that there is an event for every budget and every level of interest. See you at the next tasting!

100904072 1702172 <p>The MAD Museum currently offers great exhibit, we picked "The Art of Scent".</p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/6/1/8/event_196809752.jpeg" /></p> <p><i>The Art of Scent[masked]</i> is the first major museum exhibition to recognize scent as a major medium of artistic creation and fifteen artists who work in this medium.</p> <p>What to expect: <a href="http://www.wallpaper.com/architecture/architects-diller-scofidio-renfro-design-the-art-of-scent-show-at-mad-ny/6218#72433"><a href="http://www.wallpaper.com/architecture/architects-diller-scofidio-renfro-design-the-art-of-scent-show-at-mad-ny/6218#72433" class="linkified">http://www.wallpaper.com/architecture/architects-diller-scofidio-renfro-design-the-art-of-scent-show-at-mad-ny/6218#72433</a></a></p> <p>We will tour the exhibit on our own, but it promises to be quite an experience if you trust a blogger mentioning "This is an exhibit that encourages discussion – as you are smelling the fragrances you <i>want</i> to turn to someone and share your opinion!".</p> <p>Some pre tour reading: <a href="http://madmuseum.org/sites/default/files/programs/The%20Art%20of%20Scent%20TRP.pdf"><a href="http://madmuseum.org/sites/default/files/programs/The%20Art%20of%20Scent%20TRP.pdf" class="linkified">http://madmuseum.org/sites/default/files/programs/The%20Art%20of%20Scent%20TRP.pdf</a></a></p> <p>The exhibition focuses on twelve works made between 1889 and 2012, and will include <i>Jicky</i>, created by Aimé Guerlain in 1889; Ernest Beaux’s <i>Chanel N° 5</i> from 1921; Jean-Claude Ellena’s <i>Osmanthe Yunnan</i> from 2006; and Daniela Andrier’s<i>Untitled</i>, created in 2010.</p> <p>Each scent was selected by curator Chandler Burr to reveal the evolution of aesthetics in the medium or to illustrate major innovations in scent design. Among the innovations was the introduction of synthetic raw materials, which appeared in the late nineteenth century. Before then, the creation of scents was limited to only natural ingredients; synthetics transformed artisanal products into works of art.</p> <p><i><b>Meet in front of the building no later than 11:00am.</b> Buy your own entrance (valid all day).

You can expect to get wet at least up to your knees and possibly up to your neck if you choose to do the sump passage! Expect this cave to be about 48-55 degrees F<br/>• <b>DO NOT WEAR COTTON!!!!</b> Choose synthetic fabrics or wool.</p> <p><br/><b>Footwear Boots</b><br/>Ankle support with good grip are important, so you need to wear boots. Do Not wear expensive hiking boots because they will get muddy, scratched, and wet. Choose an old pair you don’t mind getting muddy. If you don't have a pair of old boots, look for something cheap at Payless or Wal-Mart</p> <p>• A Clean Change of clothes for when you get out!<br/>• <b>YOU WILL NEED A COMPLETE CHANGE OF CLOTHING FOR WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE CAVE, AND I DO MEAN COMPLETE!! UNDERWEAR, SOCKS SHOES AND EVERYTHING ELSE</b>. Also bring a plastic garbage bag for your wet muddy gear after the trip and be sure to launder any cave gear before re-entering another cave to prevent any possible cross-contamination.</p> <p><br/><b>Recommended Gear:</b></p> <p><b>• Wetsuit</b> It is cold and wet in the cave so if you have a wetsuit please bring it. if not wear plenty of SYNTHETIC Layers <b>"NO COTTON!!"</b><br/><b>• Coveralls</b> with synthetic undergarments worn underneath works best for protection, warmth and maneuverability</p> <p><b>• Elbow pads</b> you will be at times crawling on your knees and elbows and elbow pads are a big help, Home Depot has inexpensive ones that will work well for caving.</p> <p><b>•</b> &lt;strong style="color : #000000"&gt;A small pack</b> for basic supplies like water, snacks, extra batteries, first aid, etc. A fanny pack also seems to work for some.

We are a fully volunteer/no charge/no profit like minded group of people who simply gather to share experiences, discover and explore all the wonderful bike trails in our area that nature has to offer and of course, make new friends.</p> <p>We try to plan different events for all levels of riders, so you don't have to be a downhill racer to be a part of this group. But we do have some pretty strong riders that definitely will make sure you have a great workout if that's what you're after.</p> <p>We ride as a group to enjoy the event together so no one gets left too far behind and no one is pushed beyond their comfort level.</p> <p>>>>We ride through woods on fairly rugged terrain so a true "fat tire" mountain bike, preferably with front suspension, is required. A Hybrid bike will not be enough for most of the places we ride.<<<</p> <p>If someone is tired and can't keep up, they won't be left alone. If someone has a problem with their bike, they'll usually have 3 or 4 other riders vying to help fix it. If someone's hurt, they and their bike will be helped back to the trailhead and home if needed.</p> <p>No doubt you'll find that mountain bikers are the best kinda people.</p> <p> </p> <p>Are you what we consider a Beginner, Intermediate or an Advanced rider?</p> <p>Click here to find out:</p> <p><span style="color : #2175b1"><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" title="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/</a></a></span></p>

100909842 6723692 <p>This is the first meeting for this group, "Millionaire Mindset" and what better way to get into that mindset then to actually meet a multi-millionaire!  We will be meeting at his house at 11:45am SHARP and he has allowed us to be there until about 1pm.  He will be discussing what he did to become a self-made millionaire.</p> <p>If you work, get that time off.  If you can't get it off, be sick.  If you don't have a car, take a taxi.  If you are currently broke...start walking.  How clear can I make it that you need to be here?</p> <p> </p> <p>Please give me a call: Dr. Nicholas Graham for more information @[masked] (Iowa phone number, recently moved to NJ)</p> <p>*Meeting is in Old Tappan, NJ.  Actual address will be given with RSVP</p> <p>Some people live their lives knowing that they are worth more...much more yet fail to act so they never fully realize all their human potential.  Your personal talent is something you never want to waste.  Be Great!  Self-development is essential in any strategy for success.</p> <p>It takes time to grow into the person that deserves that seven figure income. Be patient with yourself and don't get frustrated.  This group is for people who share an interest in personal growth, networking with others who have the MILLIONAIRE MINDSET, and occasionally learning directly from local millionaires about how they got there and what it takes to become the person that deserves a million dollar income. This group is for  enthusiastic, motivated forward thinkers and entrepreneurs.  This group is for people who know their future will be brighter than their life is today.  Spend your time with people that have what you want or are actively moving towards getting it! That is what this group is all about!   That is the group we should all want to be a part of.</p>

10091069 455969 <p>Here is the agenda for this month's meeting.</p> <p>First we will start finalizing plans for the Jedi Gathering in Michigan for July. What is being offered? Who is attending? Stuff to bring? etc.</p> <p>Then we will review many of the exercises we have learned. Training will begin with some Tai Chi to help move our energy and get the bodies loosened up. Then we will go over our rolling and falling techniques. We will strengthen our bodies with some conditioning. Lastly, we will put this review into action as we continue with swordwork.</p> <p>As this is a private location, you'll be emailed the address once you have responded with a "yes" or "maybe."</p> <p>Inspired by the fictional Jedi in Star Wars, we strive to emulate the path of the Jedi in our real lives. We're not just Star Wars fans, but people who see a core of truth in its philosophy that is worth bringing into the world. Our meetings are for the purpose of training (martial arts, meditation, energy, philosophy, and other topics a Jedi knight needs to understand) and building community. We also don't just sit around watching films and reading books; we go out and offer our services where they are needed. If you would like to connect with the larger organization, you can visit the Jedi Resource Center at http://www.jediresourcecenter.org/vb/</p>
10091180 1354410 <p>I have changed the venue because of weather concerns. The meeting will take place at my wife's massage and therapy studio in downers grove. It's on the 3rd floor which opens up to the roof, so we can picnic on the roof if the weather permits. We could also take advantage of the room's relaxation benefits. I thought maybe before picnicking we could do some relaxation techniques. Look forward to meeting you all And always feel free to email or call me. Peace Scott (630)[masked]</p> Let's meet and support each other and make friends

100919512 1429602 (null) <p>This group is for fathers of children with Asperger's Syndrome (including PDD-NOS and other ASD issues) to get together and share the unique experience of being a father of a child on the spectrum, and to arrange recreational activities for the kids too.   The reason this is designed for fathers specifically is that almost all of the support groups I have seen on this topic are for mothers, or are dominated by mothers.  Parenting ASD kids affects men in a unique way, and spectrum kids need male presence that meets their needs too.</p> <p>While geared primarily towards "high-functioning" ASD issues, we all have common stories and strategies to share.  All are welcome!</p>

10092034 1277871 <p>come out and face your allegies!<br/>happy spring!</p> <p>Meet Vegans near Teaneck, northern Bergen county. Discuss veganism or the weather. Share your favorite (or least) 'V'ecipes and make, (or offend) new friends. We'll meet at Veggie Heaven in Teaneck, hopefully once a week. after meals there will be board / card games nearby. potlucks, group cooking opportunities, movies, and group video rentals are options. None obligatory. The group welcomes vegans, vegetarians, and raw foodists.<br> Carnivores / Veggie Curious are welcome, but heckling the herd with yarns of animal targetry will result in C/V/C finding themselves face to face with a table of foaming vegans, many of whom may be animal rights activists, and it is these such circumstances that underscore the ACT in activist.<br> In the unlikely event that such should transpire, I myself, being a pacifist, will hide under the table.<br> Seriously, the worst that could happen is someone deviously, inadvertently puts the sizzling tofu platter too close and the heckler gets their eyebrows singed off.<br> As evident by the intro, the only other prerequisite aside from dietary adherence, is a sense of humor. Those lacking will not be humored.<br> Here's looking forward to a good humored meal.</p>

There's a chance I'll have to work, if so Stefan will still be there.</p> Meet other local Horse Racing fans. All those who are interested in breeding, racing, betting, etc. are welcome! I'm thinking of getting this Meetup started. We can all meet on Sunday's at the track and hang out, handicap, eat, and share stories. Maybe some or all of us would even want to partner on pick 3, pick 4, or pick 6 wagers. I would be open to all suggestions involving this Meetup and would welcome anyone who wanted to share in the responsibilities. We could also get together prior to a day of racing and handicap. There are also some great horse racing video games that might interest members. Lots of possibilities but without members nothing will be realized. So lets see if we have any interested people and we will take it from there. By the way, can you name the great horse in the photo?

I enjoy going to the movies in the afternoon before it gets "crazy busy" and then on to a nice dinner and great conversation. There are so many good places to go and I'd love to have some of you join me. There are other things we can do too, depending on the group. I am divorced and a new "empty nester" but this group is not limited to singles. We may do some "singles only" activities later but, my main focus is to get out, go places and make new friends in the process. I've been inspired by my "Ladies Brunch Group" to start another Meet Up Group and I hope you will join me too!</p>
100922472 3143362 <p>  </p> <p>PLEASE NOTE LOCATION CHANGE: This month, we are going to Moonstruck Diner in Chelsea, on 23rd St. AND 9th Ave., NOT the diner on 31st and 3rd. (I could not get a reservation at the diner on 31st and 3rd without our group having to pay a fee for the room.) Typical of other diners, this Moonstruck has a HUGE selection of menu items ranging from 3-egg omelettes, salad platters, special entrees and pasta favorites, to sandwiches (including the triple-decker club), desserts, even pancakes. You're sure to find something you like.</p> <p>In honor of upcoming Valentines Day, let's pick a topic on <i>love</i>, and expand it to also include <i>friendship</i>. Here are two ideas:</p> <p>1. Suggested by Bonnie: What is a friend? What are the characteristics of a good and loyal friend?</p> <p>2. Suggested by Leslie: Is it possible to go from a romantic relationship to a platonic one, and vice versa?</p> <p><b>Please suggest further ideas</b>, and we'll vote on a specific one at the meetup.</p> <p>(A $2 voluntary contribution to cover Meetup fees would be appreciated!)</p> <p> </p> <p> <img src="http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/1/8/event_95763352.jpeg" /></p> <p> <img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/b/4/event_95763252.jpeg" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>.</p> <p>Are you intelligent, knowledgeable, an intellectual who thrives on stimulating conversation? Then you will likely enjoy this lively meetup, where we will discuss issues relevant to us all, from politics, philosophy, ethics, news, history, spirituality, relationships; the floor is wide-open to topics. We’ll pick a subject at the beginning of each meetup and discuss it over dinner at a reasonably-priced restaurant or café at a location in the west village or Chelsea. All ages are welcome, especially those at the tail end (i.e., 1964) of the boomer generation.</p>

100923672 1667373 <p>3 year old Isabella was diagnosed with Leukemia. She is being treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She is facing at least 2 years of treatment, of which at least 3 months will be aggressive chemotherapy.</p> <p>I decided to start this group because I moved to the area about 10 years ago and have had difficulty meeting people with the same interests. Or most of my friends from the area are married with children and if it isnt the spouse it's the kids that deter my friends from going out. So...I would like to see varied activities so we can gather a large group and maybe diversify the interests I am about to mention. How about a sushi night or a karaoke night or a night with both if we can find a venue. How about cooking and sharing cooking techniques or our love of cats or doing charity work or group walks or group dinners out or at someone's home . If you are single and live in the Middlesex or Union county area then lets meet up and set up dates and activities. I know I am not alone in my search for these different activities to share with other single people in this area. I would like to meet on a Wednesday and we could discuss where as soon as we have some people involved. There are so many great places we could meet in the area.</p>

100925142 6735642 <p>The Inner Confidence Overview: If your long term goal is to find a quality woman, you have to first have success with a lot of women and understand the dating game. You can’t luck your way into an amazing relationship just like you can’t luck your way into an Ivy League University.</p> <p>Are you willing to put in the effort and become successful with women, a leader of men and a boss in social situations? If so, you’ve come to the right place.</p> <p>Here is the path to success with women:  </p> <p><b>Step 1 is everything that happens before you open your mouth.</b> Most guys think that they look presentable, but truth be told, most guys are clueless of how to present themselves to women. If you don't dress and present the body language of someone she would date, you've got no chance and she'll immediately rule you out.</p> <p>We walk around making snap judgements of people all the time.  You’re sitting in a restaurant scanning the room thinking <i>“There’s an old waitress, fat chick, cute hostess with a nice little tush, sloppy looking dude, short, broke bus boy, rich old guy, etc…”</i></p> <p>You’re not the only one doing the judging, they are judging you too.</p> <p>Women have a forcefield that protects them from ineligible suitors and the number one factor the forcefield discriminates against is your appearance.</p> <p>You don't have to be good looking, but you must look good.</p> <p>If your body language is confident and you know how to dress, you can fake the funk enough to get past the forcefield of most beautiful women.</p> <p>But if your fashion sucks and its obvious that you don’t quite fit in, you’ll never even get your foot in the door.</p> <p><b>Step 2 is what we call Social Protocol.</b> Social protocol is the established code of procedure or behavior in any group, organization, or social situation.  If you do not follow social protocol, you will trigger the second layer of someone’s forcefield.</p> <p>Your appearance will get you in the door, but the wrong behavior will get you booted right back out.</p> <p>Having a mastery of social protocol is something that can take years, even decades to accomplish.  If you want an example look at successful politicians.  Successful politicians rarely slip up in social situations and they have the ability to make everyone they meet feel important and like their best friend.  They are dynamic, interesting, engaging and attentive. In order for a politician to be successful he/she must win over the majority of people to keep their job.</p> <p>Politics isn’t for everyone but in order to attract the right people into your life, you have to understand the level of social protocol in order to fit in.  Social protocol is made up of many factors: How you engage people, how you say hello, goodbye, where you sit at a table, how you shake someone’s hand, where you wait outside of a club, when you ask a woman for a phone number, when you go for a kiss, how to introduce your friends to each other, how you order a drink, how you split a tab, the list goes on and on and on.  There is even a recognizable vernacular for different groups of people.</p> <p>If you want to follow "cool people" social protocol, you have to learn the "cool people" vernacular.  If you want to fit in with a bunch of techie geeks, you have to talk like a techie geek.</p> <p>If you still believe there is a quick fix for a guy who doesn’t understand social protocol I hope you can see the flaw in your logic.  You cannot have a mastery of social protocol over night because you must learn the rules which takes time and exposure.</p> <p>The key to really being a master at any skill is to understand the rules so well that you know how to break them.</p> <p>Step 3 is to learn to not give a shit and you'll embody "cool." Cool is defined as this: marked by steady dispassionate calmness and self-control.  In other words, someone who doesn't give a shit and knows when and when not to get excited.  When you learn social protocol and interact with hundreds and hundreds of people in social situations the anxiety and nervousness you once felt will fade away.</p> <p>You will no longer fear rejection and thriving in social situations will become second nature to you...</p> <p>The key to really being a master at any skill is to understand the rules so well that you know how to break them.</p> <p>We will go much further in depth into these topics during the meetup and you'll walk away with a roadmap of how to become a man who is loved by women and envied by other men.</p> <p>The quality of your lover, partner and companion is the single most important factor of your happiness in life. But men are NOT objective when it comes dating. Most men think that they are entitled to beautiful, intelligent, sophisticated, classy, fit and fashionable women. You may be smart and well educated, have a high paying job, a custom suit and an expensive watch but beautiful women don't care unless you carry yourself with confidence, dress well, make a good first impression, hold a conversation and can make them laugh. Be honest with yourself and swallow your pride for a second. Do you possess the skill-set to attract the woman of your dreams? To find a quality woman, you have to have success with a lot of women and understand the dating game. You can't luck you're way into an amazing relationship just like you can't luck your way into an Ivy League University. Are you willing to put in the effort and become an absolute boss with women? If so, join our group.</p>

A Hybrid bike will not be enough for most of the places we ride.<<<</p> <p>If someone is tired and can't keep up, they won't be left alone. If someone has a problem with their bike, they'll usually have 3 or 4 other riders vying to help fix it. If someone's hurt, they and their bike will be helped back to the trailhead and home if needed.</p> <p>No doubt you'll find that mountain bikers are the best kinda people.</p> <p> </p> <p>Are you what we consider a Beginner, Intermediate or an Advanced rider?</p> <p>Click here to find out:</p> <p><span style="color : #2175b1"><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" title="http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/NYCMTB/messages/boards/thread/10167809/</a></a></span></p>

10092802 230088 <p>When did you decide to leave or affirm your faith? How did you come to this conclusion? Do you feel that God has an active presence in your life outside of the church? Do you find yourself inventing a new religion?</p> <p>At this meeting we will discuss other times (perhaps the second Sunday at 4:00pm?) or locations that are quieter.</p> <p>Cheers!<br/>Gawain</p> <p>We seek an intelligent and intelligible way of talking about the transcendent, especially over a pint of beer. We seek authentic friendships, mutual encouragement, and collective joy. We're open to all religious identities that seek to develop spiritual beauty in others, who desire some psychological integration, empathy and encouragement. All friends of of God's creation are welcome to participate in the conversation. Every month we'll have some sort of challenging topic that we can discuss. It might include sex and politics. We might quote scripture, if imperfectly. It might not always be Christian Scripture. But there will always be a pint of beer, sometimes made by monks.</p>
10092808 272503 <p>These workshops are open to all. The central notion is how Jesus teaches through cognitive dissonance, i.e. the cracks in the ego thought systems, which is fool proof but not God proof, are the learning opportunities we get to learn another thought system, that of the Holy Spirit, to which Jesus is our guide.</p> <p>My work on the Thomas gospel, inspired by Gary Renard, is another source of inspiration for our conversations, because it does close the circle between the pre-Pauline Jesus of that tradition and the Jesus of <i>A Course in Miracles</i>, who especially in the early chapters clarifies numerous points of how and why he said something different than what the later traditions made of it. His "corrections" in many people's experience are generally exactly the point where major conceptual problems surface with mysteries of the faith which did not satisfy, and which many of us recall we did not accept, often even as little children.</p> <p>There is a suggested donation of $15, or $50 per month.</p> <p>For more information, see <a href="http://www.thecourseintongues.org/itinerary.html"><a href="http://www.thecourseintongues.org/itinerary.html" class="linkified">http://www.thecourseintongues.org/itinerary.html</a></a></p> <p>We study <em>A Course in Miracles</em>, and any special topics that may come up from time to time, always connecting back to the metaphysics of the Course.</p> <p>The Course is a way of life, not a book, as it becomes inextricably woven into all we do, as a way of learning to not take the drama seriously by providing a new way of looking at everything 'with Jesus,' as the Course proposes. Gaining that inner perspective of looking at life as metaphor, in which we act out our belief in separation, puts our feet on a path of making the unconscious conscious, and changing our purpose to learning to listen to our inner teacher, and finding our way back home. Our  relationships with people, places and things thus become the classroom for the way back home.</p> <p>The Course is a non-dualistic teaching, and has a lot in common with the traditions of Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism, but expresses itself in a unique way within the Western framework of the Abrahamic traditions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. We stay close to the text, and those teachers and authors who do not deviate from its teachings, including Ken Wapnick, Gary Renard, Alex Marchand, Margot Krikhaar, and others. Many other non-dualist teachings and teachers, including Jed McKenna, Byron Katie, Mooji, Jeff Foster, Tony Parsons, are often helpful to people. The Course however advocates to be very aware of what it is specifically teaching for its focus on relationships and forgiveness is unique and different, and if we water it down, we are not helping ourselves. Historically, we enjoy the connection to the pre-christian Jesus tradition from the Gospel of Thomas and the Book of Andrew.</p> <p><span>NOTE: Please join meetup with your first &amp; last name, for we have too many members with the same names. Also please do not set your profile to "no email" if you want to RSVP for a workshop. If we cannot contact you, your reservation does not exist as far as we are concerned.</span></p>

His "corrections" in many people's experience are generally exactly the point where major conceptual problems surface with mysteries of the faith which did not satisfy, and which many of us recall we did not accept, often even as little children.</p> <p>There is a suggested donation of $15, or $50 per month.</p> <p>For more information, see <a href="http://www.thecourseintongues.org/itinerary.html"><a href="http://www.thecourseintongues.org/itinerary.html" class="linkified">http://www.thecourseintongues.org/itinerary.html</a></a></p> <p>We study <em>A Course in Miracles</em>, and any special topics that may come up from time to time, always connecting back to the metaphysics of the Course.</p> <p>The Course is a way of life, not a book, as it becomes inextricably woven into all we do, as a way of learning to not take the drama seriously by providing a new way of looking at everything 'with Jesus,' as the Course proposes. Gaining that inner perspective of looking at life as metaphor, in which we act out our belief in separation, puts our feet on a path of making the unconscious conscious, and changing our purpose to learning to listen to our inner teacher, and finding our way back home. Our  relationships with people, places and things thus become the classroom for the way back home.</p> <p>The Course is a non-dualistic teaching, and has a lot in common with the traditions of Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism, but expresses itself in a unique way within the Western framework of the Abrahamic traditions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. We stay close to the text, and those teachers and authors who do not deviate from its teachings, including Ken Wapnick, Gary Renard, Alex Marchand, Margot Krikhaar, and others. Many other non-dualist teachings and teachers, including Jed McKenna, Byron Katie, Mooji, Jeff Foster, Tony Parsons, are often helpful to people. The Course however advocates to be very aware of what it is specifically teaching for its focus on relationships and forgiveness is unique and different, and if we water it down, we are not helping ourselves. Historically, we enjoy the connection to the pre-christian Jesus tradition from the Gospel of Thomas and the Book of Andrew.</p> <p><span>NOTE: Please join meetup with your first &amp; last name, for we have too many members with the same names.

This will ensure that you get to Stowe by 10-11 PM, have enough time to unpack and prepare for the morning, maybe even test the hot tub, have a "night cap" and get a good night of sleep.</p> <p>To compensate car owners who are putting serious mileage on their cars we recommend passengers to pay all gas and tolls related expenses.</p> <p>At the same time, we urge drivers not to overcharge their passengers.</p> <p>We will do our best to organize rides in a way that will ensure equal passenger distribution per car, minimum commuting for passengers and local pickups for drivers.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>Checking in:</b></p> <p><b>If you arrive at the hotel before 11PM on Friday</b>, the front desk attendant will check you in and hand you an envelope with room keys and ski passes for you and your roommate(s).</p> <p><b>If you arrive at the hotel after 11PM on Friday</b>, an envelope with your and your roommate's keys will wait for you at the front desk - your last names and the room number will be written on the envelope. Your ski passes will not be in the envelope. Please go back to the front desk when you get up in the morning to officially check in, and pick up your ski passes.</p> <p><b>*Note -</b> Ski pass is a wireless ID tag card serving as your lift ticket. Please put the card in a safe place (i.e. inside of your wallet or ski jacket pocket), and keep it on you at all times when you're at the ski resort. The card does not have to be visibly displayed; as long as you have it in one of your pockets, wireless readers located in front of every ski lift will read the tag and let you through the gate.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>RSVP policy:</b></p> <p>Please RSVP yes only if you are certain about going and ready to submit your payment by stated deadlines.</p> <p>There is a limited number of spots available for this trip.</p> <p>RSVPing yes, not paying, and then changing your RSVP status in the last minute prevents others from signing up and will certainly earn you a bad rep with this group.</p> <p>Please answer all RSVP questions. These questions are necessary for the hotel room reservations, and will also help us plan and organize room and ride shares.</p> <p>If you make rooming and/or driving arrangements with other members directly, please communicate through emails and limit message board posts to questions and information that is of concern for the entire group.</p> <p>If you do not make any arrangements on your own, we will suggest roommate/driver/passengers based on your preferences and departing location.</p> <p><b>Rentals:</b></p> <p>If you need to rent gear, Pinacle Ski and Sports is conveniently located immediately next door only 300 feet away from Mountaineer Inn.<b>Ski/Snowboard Rentals:</b></p> <p>You can use the link below to make a reservation for your ski or snowboard gear and save $5 off their in-store prices.</p> <p><a href="http://www.pinnacleskisports.com/rent_equipment.html" class="linkified">http://www.pinnacleskisports.com/rent_equipment.html</a></p> <p>Daily rate for a full ski/snowboard package is $25 when reserved online.

What can you expect out of our group ? Our typical activities will be going out together, meet, mingle, and learn from each others. We like the concept of speed dating but we think a "slow dating" event is even better, themed parties, watching movies, going together to museums exhibition and tours with curators.</p> <p> </p> <p>What we are NOT and we do NOT do :</p> <p>We respect individuals (you) as well as Meetup group's community guidelines. In particular :</p> <p>? We don't primarily promote a product, business, venue or service</p> <p>? We don't divert members to another website and we don't act as a lead generator for another website</p> <p>? We never send spam and we don't primarily broadcast messages rather than have events</p> <p>? We don't create this group to promote a one-time event, we intend to have several events together</p> <p> </p> <p>Jean-Philippe, Yara, and Rena</p>

100930332 1391738 <p>Our first talk of the season begins during the season of Lent. So our first topic will be about how we can make this a fruitful Lenten season during this Year of Faith. Professor Steven Smith, Assistant Professor of Sacred Scripture at Mount St. Mary's Seminary, is making his Theology on Tap debut and will talk about some simple ways to stay close to Christ during this season.</p> <p>Our Primary Mission is to follow the prescribed Pastoral Plan of the Catholic Church for the Ministry of Young Adults, to bring Catholic young adults closer to our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church, to our Blessed Mother, and to each other. We encourage all Young Adults to embrace and exercise our beautiful Faith. We are the Cathedral Volunteer Team for Young Adults, that is, men and women, single or married, in our late teens, 20s, and 30s. You can become active in the CSPYA's spiritual, social and volunteer activities. Yes, you as a young adult do have an impact upon the lives of others by living the example set by Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. It is now prime time to become active in the Ministry of Young Adults. Come and join the CSPYA. No young adult ever gets turned away!</p>

100931162 1579989 <p><b>Let’s take a Hike: </b> <b>Des Plaines River Trail (Cook County Section)</b><b>: </b> 16 Miles</p> <p><b>Saturday, March 2nd.  This will be a longer hike but relatively flat and mostly on crushed limestone. </b> Not a beginner’s hike but not technically complex and on a good trail. We will try and scoot along between 3 and 3.5 miles per hour.  We will be hiking most of the Cook County north and south sections of the Des Plaines River Trail between Wheeling, IL and O’Hare Airport.  </p> <p>You will be surprised how beautiful and rural this trail is though it threads through some densely populated cities.  Cook and Lake counties have created an amazing string of forest preserves flanking the Des Plaines river and chained them together with the River Trail which you can follow from North Ave in the city all of the way to the Wisconsin border.</p> <p>The trail is mostly through a canopy of forest naturally home to lots of wildlife though just over a mile threads through the town of Des Plaines to remind you that you are still in the “city”.  The river views are remarkable.  You may want to bring a camera.</p> <p><b>This is a one way trip.  We will meet at the end (Catherine Chevalier Woods) at 8:45 and at 9:00 shuttle as few cars as possible to the start (Potawatomi Woods).</b></p> <p> We will first hike the Gold trail south from Potawatomi Woods for about four miles until it ends at Winkelman Rd.  We will go west (right) on Winklman Rd. about ¼ mile and pick up the Yellow trail south and follow it back to Catherine Chevalier Woods.</p> <p><b>Catherine Chevalier Woods Forest Preserve</b></p> <p>5521 N East River Road,</p> <p>Chicago, IL</p> <p> </p> <p><b>Directions:</b> From the Kennedy Expressway (I-90) near O'Hare take the Cumberland Ave (Highway 171) exit southbound.  Take the right (westbound) at Gregory and follow the road as it curves north and then west and it changes into Bryn Mawr Ave.  Follow Bryn Mawr west until it ends at East River Road.  Take a left onto East River Road (southbound) and immediately turn right into the park.  We will meetup in the second parking lot of the park road.</p> <p><b>More information on the Des Plaines River Trail:</b></p> <p><b><a href="http://fpdcc.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/DesPlainesTrail-North.pdf">Cook County Des Plaines River Trail North click here.</a></b></p> <p><b><a href="http://fpdcc.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/DesPlainesTrail-South.pdf">Cook County Des Plaines River Trail South click here.</a></b></p> <p> </p> <p>I hope you can make the hike; it is my favorite in the Chicago area,</p> <p>Lyle</p> <p>“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.” - Unknown</p> <p>“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” - Robert Frost</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Do you love Hiking and Adventures?</strong></p> <p>Welcome to the Chicago Hiking, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group. We strive for adventures, fun, and friendships. This group is for people who enjoy hiking, being outdoors and meeting new people. We feature hikes for all skill levels, canoeing, camping, biking, social gatherings and other outdoor activities. These events are a great way to get out, meet people, and smell some fresh air. If you have a suggestion, please feel free to contact the Organizer or post them on “ideas for meetup” on the calendar page. Most of the activities are pretty tame, but any participation in this group is at your own risk. If you want to meet fun and adventurous people, this group is for you. Come join us. It will be an adventure you won’t soon forget.</p> <p>Adventures are closer than you think!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Get Involved:</strong></p> <p>We need Assistant Organizers and Event Hosts! If you don't see your preferred activity listed or a hike on your side of town, please volunteer by contacting the Organizer! You might be surprised just how many people are looking to do the same activity that you are. Other ways to volunteer would be a Greeter (Greet new members as they join the group.) or Monthly News Letter Editor (Write articles for a Monthly News Letter to be published on the message board.). We welcome Event &amp; Group Sponsors who need some publicity for a great price!</p> <p>Why not become a Hike Leader?</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Monthly Photo Contest:</strong></p> <p>We are having a Monthly Photo Contest. You have 1 month to upload your favorite photo. At the end of the month, the Assist Organizers will pick the top 12. We will then have a poll for voting on these 12. The members will be able to rate each picture from 1 to 10 rating. The photo with the highest ratings at the end of this month will win. This photo will then be used as the open page picture for following month. The only thing you receive are bragging rights.</p> <p>Upload January Photos Here: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/</a><br> Please name the photo and leave a comment about the photo.</p> <p>So why not amaze the rest of the members with you photography skills?</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>100 Miles Club and 200 Miles Club:</strong></p> <p>Are you looking for a Goal to reach? We have two clubs for you. You join the 100 Miles Club when you reach 100 Miles hiking a year with this group only (Chicago Hiking, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group). You join the 200 Miles Club when you reach 200 Miles hiking a year with any Meetup Groups (Windy City Hikers, this group, etc.). Your Meetup Names will be posted in the About Section in this group.</p> <p>Let’s start counting those miles!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Dues and Fees:</strong></p> <p>There are no membership dues to be part of this group. For prepay events, we will sometimes add up to three dollars, normally 1 to 2, to the payment to help out with the Meetup.com monthly fees.</p> <p>For other events, example hikes, we suggest a 1 or 2 dollar donation at the start of the event. This is totally voluntary. No records will be kept for who donates and who doesn’t.</p> <p>If you want to make a voluntary donation. Go to the top of this page and click on "Pay Online". Enter the amount you would like to donate. Donate any amount you like. This will be paid with Paypal.</p> <p>We would personally prefer if people would donate their time as an Assistant Organizer or Hike Leader versus making a donation of money. Any help is very much appreciated.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p>Other Recommended Outdoors Meetup Groups: If events are full on this group, why not see what these groups are up to.</p> <p> </p> <p>The NW Burbs Camping Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/</a></p> <p>Southwest Suburbs Sports, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/</a></p> <p>Chicago Camping &amp; Outdoors Adventure Group</p> <p><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoCampers/">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoCampers/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Please support Outdoors Meetup Groups!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p>See you on the trail!</p> <p>Kevin</p> <p>PS: Tell a Friend about us!</p> <p>Come find us on Facebook:<br> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gid=251355911863#/group.php?v=info&amp;gid=251355911863" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi</a>...</p>
100932512 608977 <p>This will be a beginners backpack on moderate trails.  The hike will be approx 17 miles over Saturday and Sunday.  Although this is intended for new backpackers, YOU MUST ALREADY BE IN GOOD HIKING SHAPE!</p> <p>Gear:  We can share group gear as far as water purification, stove and fuel, and tents.  YOU need to provide a sleeping bag of adequate warmth, sleeping pad, a backpack large enough to hold all your gear and some group supply, and all your meals and snacks.</p> <p>Trip Agenda:</p> <p>Day 1: Jug End Rd. to Sages Ravine Campsite (9.5 miles).  We climb over Jug End, Mounts Bushnell and Everett, then to Mount Race (superb ridge with extended vistas), all of which provide great views of the surrounding countryside and small towns of the area. We descend to the MA state line and walk thru fabulous Sages Ravine to our campsite, where there are plenty of tentsites within view of the river.</p> <p>Day 2: Sages Ravine to Salisbury, Rt. 41 (7.4 miles).  We will get an early start and climb Bear Mt. and Lions Head before our final descent to the cars.</p> <p>Meeting Place:  We'll meet in downtown Salisbury, CT (it's only one street), look for a blue and gray Subaru. Both parking areas have limited space, so please carpool.  No public transportation.</p> <p>Disclaimer: I am not a professional guide and only you are responsible for your own safety.

Le fran&ccedil;ais des affaires &eacute;tait au programme de l&rsquo;Alliance &agrave; l&rsquo;&eacute;poque &ndash; Monsieur Marcial, un Breton &eacute;tait le Professeur.</p> <p>Une vingtaine d&rsquo;&eacute;l&egrave;ves &eacute;taient inscrits &agrave; ce cours. Martial et une demie-douzaine d&rsquo;&eacute;l&egrave;ves ont commenc&eacute; &agrave; se rendre tous les mercredis apr&egrave;s le cours, au Santa Fe, un petit bar restaurant au nord west du coin de Chicago et de Dearborn. L&agrave;, on avait une bi&egrave;re et pratiquer notre fran&ccedil;ais dans un milieu social. C&rsquo;&eacute;tait la bonne id&eacute;e . <br /><br />Tr&egrave;s t&ocirc;t, le Santa Fe ne pouvait plus nous contenir et nous nous sommes d&eacute;plac&eacute;s &agrave; une rue &agrave; l&rsquo;est , &agrave; Deno Deli et Pub, un restaurant de famille qui perdait sa client&egrave;le au profit du Burger King du coin. Nous &eacute;tions une client&egrave;le potentielle pour Deno les mercredis pendant 6 ans. C&rsquo;est l&agrave; o&ugrave; nous avions d&eacute;velopp&eacute; et perfectionn&eacute; notre code MODUS OPERANDI : pas de nom, pas de dirigeant, pas de cotisation, pas de lois, pas de snobisme.</p> <p>Les couches tard apr&egrave;s chaque r&eacute;union chez Deno, se rendaient au Santa Fe pour continuer leur discussion. En 1993, Deno ferma au profit de Burger King. Palmas, juste sur la m&ecirc;me rue &eacute;tait le coin id&eacute;al pour nous, compte tenu de l&rsquo;importance en nombre du groupe. Un an apr&egrave;s, le groupe avait encore besoin d&rsquo;une place plus grande. La r&eacute;ponse &eacute;tait Rio, un restaurant br&eacute;silien bon march&eacute;. C&rsquo;&eacute;tait une bonne ann&eacute;e. <br /><br />Apr&egrave;s la fermeture du Rio, le groupe se retrouva chez Oncle Tutunji un restaurant Libanais. Le manger &eacute;tait bon et pas cher. Tres agr&eacute;ables personnes. Que demande le peuple? <br /><br />Quelques temps apr&egrave;s, le groupe est transf&eacute;r&eacute; au Portillo&rsquo;s restaurant, au coin de Clark et Ontario et qui fait de la restauration populaire. Apr&egrave;s un bref d&eacute;placement au Caf&eacute; de Lucca, le groupe revient au Portillo o&ugrave; il tient ses rencontres tous les Mercredis. <br /><br />Sans dirigeant, c&rsquo;&eacute;tait une fa&ccedil;on de parler, il y a toujours eu un responsable qui recoit et qui pr&eacute;sente le groupe , qui s&rsquo;occupe des introductions entre les personnes &ndash; si vous voulez les membres.</p> <p>Pour les premi&egrave;res dix ann&eacute;es, le responsible &eacute;tait Patrick Cooper, qui travaillait &agrave; l&rsquo;&eacute;poque &agrave; l&rsquo;office du tourisme francais et qui a dem&eacute;nag&eacute; en France. Apr&egrave;s, en 1997,Jim Zerwin a prit la rel&egrave;ve chez Portillos, il vit actuellement &agrave; Bangkok.</p> <p>Depuis 2006, Sheri Ard, une des fondateurs du groupe, est devenu la responsible en remplacement Jim Zerwin avec l&rsquo;assistance de Stefanie et puis Jim Siegler. <br /><br />Le comit&eacute; fondateur du Mercredi outre Patrick Cooper, Jim Zerwin et Sheri Ard, on pouvait compter : Ellen Urquiaga, Terri Collins, Laura Veeneman, Beth Ann Cooper, David Covill, Katie Walsh et Shela O&rsquo;Donnovan et la tradition continue. <br />Beaucoup d&rsquo;activit&eacute;s &agrave; l&rsquo;&eacute;poque : un brunch mensuel, le troisi&egrave;me Samedi du mois au restaurant John Barleycorn sur Lincoln.Apr&egrave;s 2 ans, le groupe quitte pour la Creperie &agrave; North Clark o&ugrave; il est reste plusieurs ann&eacute;es. <br />En 1990, l&rsquo;id&eacute;e de se retrouver ensemble le Vendredi au Saint-Germain un restaurant francais a state et division est ajout&eacute;e au programme. <br />1990 &ndash; 1991 , beaucoup de groupes francophones ont vu le jour pour la promotion de la langue fran&ccedil;aise . Le Groupe Professionnel Francophone dont Ellen Urquiara et David Reithoffer sont les premiers Pr&eacute;sident et Directeur. <br />Les premiers members du G.P.F. etaient Tom Walsh, Wicki Peterson, Richard Flater, Susan Arjmand et Rhonda Sibille. Le G.P.F. tient une r&eacute;union mensuelle : le dernier Jeudi de chaque mois &agrave; Renaissance Hotel au coin de State et Wacker Dr. <br />23 ans d&rsquo;existence cette ann&eacute;e, font du Groupe du Mercredi le premier Groupe Sociolinguistique fran&ccedil;ais de Chicago.</p> <p><br />Pour toute information, contactez la responsable du groupe: Sheri 312-848-8272</p>

Participants will ask questions to three possible suitors, whose identity will be revealed after they choose their blind date.</p> <p>After the reveal, the couple will select their date from a number of options including a romantic gondola ride, movie night, and a shopping spree to name a few.

100936912 6745272 <p><a href="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/e/2/b/0/event_198838032.jpegAdmission" class="linkified">http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/e/2/b/0/event_198838032.jpegAdmission</a> is pay-what-you-wish on Thursdays, 6–9 pm. We will meet at 6:30.</p> <p>Over the past 40 years, Daniel Brush has created an oeuvre unparalleled in contemporary American art—from large-scale painted canvases to gold-domed containers encrusted with gold granules so miniscule they must be fused with microscopic precision. Daniel Brush: Blue Steel Gold Light, opening October 16, 2012, brings together for the first time works from throughout Brush’s career, including examples of his poetic paintings and drawings, a selection of his most significant steel and gold wall sculptures, jewelry made from plastic, aluminum, steel, and precious gems, and some of his earliest gold-granulated objects. The exhibition will be installed on MAD’s second-floor galleries—the first time a single living artist has commanded that entire floor, which includes the Tiffany &amp; Co. Foundation Jewelry Gallery—and will remain on view until February 17, 2013.</p> <p>This group will meet periodically as interesting events (museum exhibits, literary events, music, film, theater, etc) come up. The idea for this group is that participants will meet before the event, at a nearby cafe or diner, to get to know each other and then attend the event together. Occasionally, we may also go out afterward for coffee or a drink to have fun and discuss our ideas.</p> <p>RSVPs may be limited for some events. There will be a nominal charge (nonrefundable) for each event, primarily in order to discourage no-shows, but also to defray the cost of organizing meetup events. If you are not comfortable with paying the nominal charge for an event, please do not RSVP. I look forward to meeting you!</p>

[masked] in case anyone needs it. Once again I'll still be there and in case it poors down then I can give if need to chuck cheese.</p> If you are looking to meet other single parents in the New York City area (it doesn't have to be Manhattan), this is the group for you! Being a single parent is full of unique challenges, and many of us find ourselves with friends that are either married or have no children. Join us and to meet others in a similar situation.

Organized as one- and two-artist presentations, this exhibition provides a survey of each artist’s work across a range of mediums.</p> <p>This group will meet periodically as interesting events (museum exhibits, literary events, music, film, theater, etc) come up. The idea for this group is that participants will meet before the event, at a nearby cafe or diner, to get to know each other and then attend the event together. Occasionally, we may also go out afterward for coffee or a drink to have fun and discuss our ideas.</p> <p>RSVPs may be limited for some events. There will be a nominal charge (nonrefundable) for each event, primarily in order to discourage no-shows, but also to defray the cost of organizing meetup events. If you are not comfortable with paying the nominal charge for an event, please do not RSVP. I look forward to meeting you!</p>

10094378 535652 <p>Come check out New York's hottest new karaoke night! Enjoy Karaoke and great drink specials: $2 Wicked shots, $4 Wicked margaritas and $3 Coronas! We want you to sing some songs with us. We'll introduce you around if you don't know anyone. We have high energy and we want to make sure everyone has a good time. Ask for Mary and Abbi when you walk in. You can't miss us. See you there! Mary and Abbi. (Elphaba and Glinda)</p> <p>Welcome to the VOCAL BRILLIANCE Meetup group!</p> <p>This group is intended to cater to all types of singers. Whether you&rsquo;re a seasoned professional, an intermediate hobbyist, or a complete beginner hoping to get your feet wet; whether your focus is rock, pop, classical, Broadway, Jazz, R&amp;B&hellip;there will be an event designed specifically for you.</p> <p>Our primary purpose is to have fun becoming better singers; to improve together as vocal artists and performers beyond where we are at present. The &ldquo;how&rdquo; depends largely on our current level of proficiency, our current levels of training and experience, and where our interests lie.</p> <p>That is why each event will be geared towards different singers with different goals. Some events will be designed for beginners looking to get their feet wet among friends. Some will be for seasoned professionals to work on specific sticking points in their technique, delivery, etc. Some will be for intermediate singers who just want to have fun with other singers, in a non-intimidating climate, honing their voices and craft.</p> <p>Events will include, but will not be limited to:</p> <p>&bull; Fun outings to open-mic events, karaoke nights, jams, and other venues for public singing among peers.</p> <p>&bull; Group vocal lessons, clinics, and workshops, focusing on everything from proper warm-ups, breathing, ear training, resonance and range expansion, to conquering stage fright, song interpretation, audition preparation, vocal improvisation, or even specific &ldquo;sticking points&rdquo; some of us might collectively want to work through together.</p> <p>&bull; Group members&rsquo; gigs/performances: a great way to gain motivation and learn is to support your peers as they perform in their individual projects (artists supporting each other can be invaluable!).</p> <p>Note from the group&rsquo;s moderator:</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been a private vocal instructor for over 15 years now, and a professional singer for most of my life. I love the act and art of singing, and over the years, I&rsquo;ve developed a true fondness and affinity for helping others develop into the singers they want to be. That is why I chose to start this group.</p> <p>THE IMPORTANT THING: I want to hear FROM YOU. What kinds of outings would you be interested in? What are some of your goals as singers? What sorts of techniques and topics would you like to see group lessons, clinics, and workshops cover? Please, send me an email and let's discuss some ideas!</p> <p>This is your group. Let&rsquo;s mold it together into something really cool, and really special; something that helps us all evolve together as singers, performers, and artists, while having fun doing it.

Consequently, we are reserving the track just for us; therefore, no waiting in lines or to get on the track. Plus, the cost per race is lower than the regular price ($25) with <b>no</b> daily membership fee ($10). So, you'll be getting more for less!<br/>The all-inclusive price is only $80 per person which includes four races (approx. 9 min/race) and use of safety gear (helmet, neck brace, race suit). Driver coaching will also be available compliments of your hosts.<br/>Due to upfront costs of having a private reservation, I ask that you RSVP and pay as soon as you can. Thanks.</p> <p>P.S. If you want to race in a more structured, competitive group, then RSVP at Erik's meetup <a href="http://www.meetup.com/kartracing/"><a href="http://www.meetup.com" class="linkified">http://www.meetup.com</a>...</a></p> <p>Have you ever dreamed of racing cars? Well, here's your chance to live out your dream. Meet other local racing enthusiasts and experience the fun and excitement of karting. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a first-timer, you will see why karting is the fastest growing motor sport in the country. So, join today! Note: No equipment is necessary as only arrive-and-drive events are held.</p>

100950632 3387032 <p>Every successful organization, no matter big or small, profit or non-for-profit, public or private, needs a leader. You are the person on the white horse, you are the leader, you are the One. At one point or another in our life, we doubt ourselves whether we can take on that responsibility, take on the discipline to be that one person people look to and count on. That doubt and fear is natural, and necessary price to pay to be the One. Toastmasters grooms you to become one. Are you ready?</p> <p><b>The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.</b></p> <p><b>-Henry Ford</b></p> <p>Looking to improve your leadership and presentation skills?

As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were.</p> <p><i>Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special–and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together. Suspenseful, moving, beautifully atmospheric, Never Let Me Go is another classic by the author of The Remains of the Day.</i></p> <p><i><br/></i>  </p> <p>I cannot live without books. -Thomas Jefferson This is a casual and friendly group that enjoys meeting up at coffee houses in and around New Brunswick (Hub City).

The usual format is a dinner at a restaurant in the city, with a limited number of people to enjoy conversation and intellectual give and take. The idea is that good conversation requires small crowds, and is helped by good food and wine, just like in the original Symposium by Plato. No technical background in philosophy required, just a love of wisdom! The Dinner and Philosophy meetup is a member of the <a href="http://reasonablenewyork.org">Reasonable New York</a> coalition.</p>

10095733 129313 <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>This is Brian, newest assistant organizer to Robert on the Raw food meetup. I have been vegetarian for about 9 years and raw for over 1 year. I also organize the yogafuninnyc.com meetup. <a href="http://www.yogafuninnyc.com/"><a href="http://www.yogafuninn" class="linkified">http://www.yogafuninn</a>...</a> My wife and I are yoga teachers and love making tasty raw foods including pies and pizza. We feel that there is nothing better after a class of yoga than delicious raw food. We were so happy to have met so many wonderful people from the raw food meetup tonight at the first yoga/raw food potluck that we didn't want to wait long to post the 2nd. We will also plan on having one on June 3rd fyi.</p> <p>A couple of things we will do differently for this meetup.<br/>Anyone wants to share recipes, you can send it to me or just bring it to the meetup. If you send it to me, I will post it on our site at www.yogafuninnyc.com under a new tab of raw food recipes. Our recipe for chocolate chip cookies is on the raw food message boards.</p> <p>Also, if you like (totally optional), let's all bring reusable cups. I felt a little guilty with plastic cups and styrofoam cups. I will bring paper plates or if convenient, each person can bring some sort or reusable plate/ cutlery. Just a suggestion. Absolutely not mandatory. But it was suggested, so I will throw it out there. I will bring some paper plates as well.</p> <p>We are inviting everyone to come down and do a 1 hour open level yoga class at 6pm. At 7pm we will have a mixer for the raw food meetup. The idea is to bring a raw food dish to share with the group and yourself. That's all.</p> <p>So 6pm to 7pm yoga class (please arrive early with your mat) studio 1<br/>7pm to 8pm eat and be merry (studio1)</p> <p>So come to yoga, and stay for the raw food social and meet and learn from your friends in the raw food community. Alternately just come for raw food, whatever you like.</p> <p>Any questions please email me [masked] or click email me tab. Feel free to join the yoga meetup as well. www.meetup.com/yogafuninnyc or www.yogafuninnyc.com Please bring your own mat. They can be purchased on our site. There is a link for the company that we buy from for ourselves. You can also rent them for $2 or if you would like to buy one, please email us and we will bring one to class for you for $15 prepaid only please. The mats that we have on hand are light blue.</p> <p>Event $5 in advance or $7 at the door.<br/><b>NOTE PRICE WAS CHANGED AS A THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE RAW FOOD MEETUP.</b> SEE LINK BELOW FOR QUICK PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL OR MASTERCARD OR VISA.</p> <p><b>*******You can pay for the classes via www.paypal.com or mastercard or visa.

It is hosted by Stefania Belli who owns a language school in Todi, Italy so you should come if you are considering a trip to Italy to learn Italian or want to learn more about her school. Renee will be at the event and can answer questions about my culinary tours to Sicily for anyone who is interested. We hope you can join us! The event is limited to 15 people and will be a great chance to mix and mingle. Please see the reviews from this same event last year.</p> <p>Here is a review from last year (please see inabbondanza.com for more info):</p> <p>Stefania Belli was a delight to meet. La Lingua La Vita offers a comprehensive immersion program for anyone interested in learning this beautiful language.

100966782 1337582 <p>&lt;strong style="color : #616161 ; font-size : x-small"&gt;Sex Work and Human Trafficking: The Difference and Why It Matters</b></p> <p>For background on this subject, please visit our website page:<br/><b><a href="http://fightslaverynow.org/why-fight-there-are-27-million-reasons/sextraffickinghiddenamidstprostitution/prostitution-and-pornography/">PROSTITUTION</a></b> and find out about the Nordic Model approach.</p> <p><br/>If this discussion interests you, here's a chance to hear able advocates from the side of sex workers. <i>This is not a debate</i>, but rather a discussion among those advocating a clear distinction between "sex worker" and trafficking victim. The largest divide across the abolitionist community almost certainly rests upon the question of prostitution or as some prefer to cast it, "sex work". Staunch abolitionists, such as the <a href="http://www.catwinternational.org/">Coalition Against Trafficking in Women</a>, consider prostitution the "oldest form of <i>oppression</i>". They deplore any selling of humans even if it is done by oneself. Others would like to legitimize and sanction "sex work" in the hope of offering those engaged in this activity greater safety, less stigma and better access to social services.</p> <p>Sex Work and Human Trafficking:</p> <p>The Difference and Why It Matters</p> <p><b>February 7,[masked]:30 PM - 2: 00 PM</b><br/><b>Location:</b> Room 302, Fordham Law School, 140 W. 62nd St. New York, NY 10023<br/><b>Contact:</b> Rebecca Marlin | [masked]</p> <p><a href="http://www.leitnercenter.org/files/Events/P1010478.JPG" class="linkified">http://www.leitnercenter.org/files/Events/P1010478.JPG</a></p> <p>As efforts to eradicate human trafficking have gained steam in recent years, one contested approach has been to target prostitution. What has been the result of this focus on sex workers, both in New York City and globally? Dangerous brothel raids, police abuse, lack of access to healthcare and legal resources, and constant stigmatization. And for survivors of trafficking? Resources that could be used to assist them are instead directed at creating laws and policies that only serve to further entrench abuses against sex workers.</p> <p>Come hear our panelists discuss how advocates for survivors of trafficking and sex workers’ rights can work together to fight for the human rights of both populations.</p> <p><b>Pizza and drinks will be served!</b></p> <p><b>Fordham Law Professor Chi Mgbako<br/></b> Clinical Associate Professor of Law and Founding Director of the Walter Leitner International Human Rights Clinic of the Leitner Center for International Law and Justice at Fordham Law School.</p> <p><b>Sienna Baskin, Esq., Co-Director, Sex Workers Project at the Urban Justice Center</b><br/>Sienna Baskin provides direct legal education, advice and representation to sex workers and survivors of trafficking.</p> <p><b>Johannah Westmacott, Safe Horizon Streetwork Project</b><br/>Johannah Westmacott is currently the Coordinator for Trafficked Minors at the Safe Horizon Streetwork Project and also works with Streetwise and Safe providing social service support to LGBTQ youth of color community organizers.</p> <p><b>Sex Workers Outreach Project of New York City (SWOP-NYC)</b><br/>SWOP-NYC is a grassroots organization and part of a national network dedicated to improving the lives of current and former sex workers/those with experience in the sex trade.</p> <p><b>Mitchyll Mora, Streetwise and Safe</b><br/>Mitchyll Mora is a youth leader for Streetwise and Safe.

Welcome to Fight Slavery Now! Thank you for choosing to make a difference.</p> <p><strong>We are an all volunteer grass-roots organization of regular folks like yourself.</strong> Most of us initially knew little about this subject, or else believed that incidents were few and far away. But when we learned the truth, we knew we had to try to do something about it. We used Meetup.com to come together seeking a course of action. Though we are diverse in our backgrounds, outlooks and ages... we have become united in our outrage.</p> <p><strong>Founded at the end of 2008, we are still a fledgling group.</strong> This is a very exciting time to become involved as we are actively seeking new ideas and approaches as we continue to learn. Your participation will be highly valued. Additionally we are encouraged that the political climate has become somewhat more receptive, both locally and on the international stage, to addressing this debasing crime.</p> <p><strong>The sex trafficking industry overwhelmingly preys on young women and children.</strong> The slave labor markets rely on a ready supply of men and women fleeing desperate circumstance. Threats, trickery and false promises are the essential tools used by traffickers. Once under their control, victims find only abuse, humiliation, and endless exploitation. This is the face of modern-day slavery.</p> <p><strong>Because of its low visibility, too little is being done to combat this crime.</strong> Reliable statistics are scarce, but estimates run as high as 27 million people currently in some form of slave bondage. Not all trafficking is across borders. Many people are trafficked right here within the United States. Specific laws against Trafficking in Persons were formulated only in this decade, and in New York State only in 2007.</p> <p><strong>Meet other local people who are interested in the fight against modern-day slavery.</strong> Discuss how we can best educate ourselves and others, what actions individual citizens can take, and how we can join with others to end this abuse flourishing in our midst.</p> <p><strong><em>This movement needs all the help and all the talent it can muster. We need speakers and writers, doers and dreamers. We need wit and reason, passion and caring. People wise in the ways of politics. People with business savvy. People with organizing skills. We need artists and singers, poets and preachers. We need everyone who cares, all the men, women, and children who are willing to work to end slavery in our generation.

The theater 'Naperville Showplace 16' is right behind the restaurant so it is pretty convenient.</p> <p>  </p> Let's meet and support each other and make friends

These cowards overreacted and locked the door. Unfortunately the millions of frightened injured trapped animals whose death they're responsible for, had no such barricade to save their lives.</p> <p><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/6/b/4/event_98105812.jpeg" /></p> <p> </p> <p>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><b>WHAT: ** CAAF "No More Fur" demo @ The Fur Source of NY **</b></p> <p><b>WHERE: The Fur Source of NY, 3 West 57th St. (between 5th &amp; 6th Aves.), NYC</b></p> <p><b>WHEN: Sunday, February 24th, 2o13</b></p> <p><b>TIME: 12:30pm ~ 2:30pm</b></p> <p>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><b>PLEASE COME OUT FOR THIS DEMO!</b> There is no ethical defense for what these people do.

100968732 2445452 <p>I plan on catching this show next Thursday (1/31). I realize the date conflicts with the weekly trivia &lt;a&gt;night&lt;/a&gt; and I apologize. But for those up for something a little different feel free to come out and join me. It just opened and so far the reviews have been pretty good.  Tickets are only $14.50 with fees through goldstar for that &lt;a&gt;date and are general admission.&lt;/a&gt; We can meet up at the theater or someplace close by around 7pm so that we can grab seats together. And if anyone is up for it we can grab drinks/food at Bangers &amp; Lace or some other place in the neighborhood after the show.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.goldstar.com/events/chicago-il/the-magnificents-1"><a href="http://www.goldstar.com/events/chicago-il/the-magnificents-1" class="linkified">http://www.goldstar.com/events/chicago-il/the-magnificents-1</a></a></p> <p> </p> <p><i>The Magnificents</i> combines the <a href="http://www.goldstar.com/events/chicago-il/the-magnificents-1">art of illusion</a> with a theatrical story written by and starring House Theatre of Chicago <a href="http://www.goldstar.com/events/chicago-il/the-magnificents-1">magician</a> Dennis Watkins. Watkins revisits his deeply personal script, originally produced in 2007, with renewed vision and more magic for 2013. It's the story of The Magnificents, an extraordinary family that brings magical entertainment to adoring audiences. Over time, however, their ardent fans have grown older and faded away, leaving their seats empty and the theater hushed. The aging magician and one-time star of the show takes a young boy under his wing and teaches him all his tricks, and much more. This touching story of the legacy we can leave before we let go is told in spectacular style, with aerial circus arts, film components and stunning feats of magic, including levitation.</p> <p>Welcome Everyone!!</p> <p>The goal of this group is to have an active and fun membership by meeting new people in the Bucktown/Wicker Park area and neighboring areas.  Great group to join if most of your friends are married, moved out of state, friends that have limited time to hang out, new to the area or just want to make new friends.</p> <p>Events can be anything from festivals, movies, sports, dinning, dancing, concerts, or just grabbing a drink.  Members are welcome to recommend ideas or set them up.</p> <p>****Also your profile must have a clear picture of yourself for safety reasons.  Otherwise there will be no way of knowing who you are****</p>

100971042 1551314 <p>If folks want to go out afterwards for dinner or tea: please suggest things in the meetup posts for this event!</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://img-ak.verticalresponse.com/media/7/2/a/72a658a282/1ab7513483/66a21ef920/library/jayoung_performing.jpg" /></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">Bodhisattvas are all over New York City, but you wouldn't know it even if you met one. Why? Because a bodhisattva's intention to work for the benefit of others is held hidden in his/her heart.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">What is a bodhisattva? A bodhisattva is anyone who is motivated by compassion and seeks enlightenment not only for him/herself, but also for all beings everywhere.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">Are you a bodhisattva who would like to meet other bodhisattvas for friendship and business networking? Allow Bodhi Lounge to fulfill your need for a spiritual community (sangha) as well as an arena to chill out, relax, make new friends, and exchange business ideas and generate spontaneous alliances of all kinds!</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">I created this group because I found that there was a lack of Buddhist/spiritual meetups that incorporated the social/entrepreneurial element. There are plenty of groups that focus on meditation and discussion which are obviously important foundations for practice, but hanging out and having some fun outside the meditation hall is just as rewarding and important.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">As the name suggests, Bodhi Lounge is a social/entrepreneurial meetup for Buddhists, or anyone interested in meeting Buddhists and learning about Buddhism. That said, people of any faith or practice—or no spiritual practice—are all welcome! Let's all get along and learn from each other. I believe that our greatest teacher is the natural self-existing wisdom within ourselves, and any particular "ism" we subscribe to is just one path in many that takes us to the same awakened place. So let's meet and have a cheerful time making new friends and/or helping each other grow our businesses!</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">A genuine spiritual view is that there is no separation between the secular and sacred, mundane and profound. Contemplative walks, group picnics, dinners, movie nights, and any other events that will happen will... happen.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">If you can describe yourself as one or more of the following, this meetup is right for you:</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">• You're a Buddhist/spiritual person and want to meet other Buddhists/spiritual people for friendship and/or business networking.<br> • You have an interest in Buddhism and want to meet Buddhists and learn more about Buddhism in a relaxed, casual setting such as bars and other social venues.<br> • You're not necessarily spiritual, but would like to meet people who are.<br> • You want a place where you can mix spirituality with business and exploration.<br> • You just want to meet some cool people with open hearts and minds.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b">May our group be of benefit to all beings!</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size : small"><span style="color : #12466b"><br> </span></span></p>

In Life.</strong></p> <p><span style="color : #000080">Hi, I’m Kate Gaffin. I’m a lifelong entrepreneur and entrepreneurial energy is my absolute favorite kind. I created 'Connecting to Greatness' because I wanted to create a better, more rewarding and even fun networking experience.  And over the last couple of years, I've been invited to teach my style of Business Networking and 'Warm' Marketing to Diplomats at the British Consulate, Students and Alumni at Pace, Barnard and the Institute of Integrative Nutrition as well as to thousands of Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs across the US.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000080">~~~~~~~~</span></p> <p><strong style="color : #000080 ; font-size : 16px"><span style="color : #800080">Featured on Fox Business News.

Instead of simply throwing people into a room with no focus or no common goal, we strive to enlighten professionals on how to network more effectively and build their business more authentically. We want our attendees walking away from our gatherings with insight on what to do with all the business cards they’ve collected and how to cultivate powerful alliances with those they meet. And we want to give our attendees the insights to grow the kind of business success they’ve always dreamed of.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000080">In 2014, Connecting to Greatness will host an event every two to three weeks. Some events will be ‘mix and mingles' with some kind of structured activity as its focal point. We will also be repeating our very popular Gallery Wine and Dessert events. Other events will have presentations given by inspiring leaders in the world of success building and I myself will give repeat presentations on my most popular topics from last year. Occasionally, we will also run our ‘Speed Networking for Professionals’ events as these highly structured gatherings can be VERY productive ways to make new connections…when certain techniques are used to make them so. These techniques are shared at the events.</span></p> <p><strong><span style="color : #000080">Finally, we will continue to host our very popular ALWAYS Sold Out, 'Bagels and Business' morning events.</span></strong></p> <p><span style="color : #000080">Come out and join us at our next Connecting to Greatness event. We attract a wonderful and inspiring group of NYC area professionals.

The mirror- and window-lined room looks like an '80s interpretation of the art deco era, with low-slung suede sofas in deep sunset hues and some of owner-art collector Steven Greenberg's 1940s modernist furnishings. A chrome staircase leads to a sprawling rooftop like you've never seen before: Almost 360 unobstructed degrees--including a dead-on of the Empire State--alongside breezy palm trees.</i></p> <p><a href="http://moxieblog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5e6e53ef011168c6f995970c-500wi" class="linkified">http://moxieblog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5e6e53ef011168c6f995970c-500wi</a></p> <p><b>THINGS TO KNOW:</b><br/>*Light appetizers served from 7-7:30pm<br/>*Check in staff will be located at tables as you enter<br/>*Bring business cards!<br/>*This event is open to all!<br/>*Average age range of attendees varies.

The mirror- and window-lined room looks like an '80s interpretation of the art deco era, with low-slung suede sofas in deep sunset hues and some of owner-art collector Steven Greenberg's 1940s modernist furnishings. A chrome staircase leads to a sprawling rooftop like you've never seen before: Almost 360 unobstructed degrees--including a dead-on of the Empire State--alongside breezy palm trees.</i></p> <p><a href="http://moxieblog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5e6e53ef011168c6f995970c-500wi" class="linkified">http://moxieblog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5e6e53ef011168c6f995970c-500wi</a></p> <p><b>THINGS TO KNOW:</b><br/>*Light appetizers served from 7-7:30pm<br/>*Check in staff will be located at tables as you enter<br/>*Bring business cards!<br/>*This event is open to all!<br/>*Average age range of attendees varies.

Your Lord said to the angels: I am about to create the human being from clay and mud molding it into shape;</p> <p>When I have fashioned him and breathed My spirit into him, bow down prostrating to him.</p> <p>So all the angels bowed except Iblis; he refused to be with those who prostrated.</p> <p>O|Iblis, said God, why is it you are not wit those who prostrated”,</p> <p>He said, “I am not going to bow before the human being whom you made by molding clay and mud into shape”.</p> <p>(15:28-33)</p> <p> This allegorical description of the origin of the human being contains several important truths. One is that God has infused His own spirit in the human being. That is why nothing is impossible for a human being. All of us have the abilities needed to make life into what we want. We have to switch our focus from thinking of ourselves merely as bodies to remembering that the divine spirit lives in each of us.</p> We discuss the Quran in an open minded and interactive manner to seek interpretations that are spiritually uplifting and facilitate personal growth.

Soundslice is a application that let you easily sync guitar tabs with YouTube videos. It helps you learn music by listening to an original recording, transcribing it, and playing along with it.</p> <p>While this may not immediately appear to be "data science," you can think of the Soundslice interface as essentially an interactive data visualization where the data is the guitar annotations. Additionally, Soundslice is a great example of a business that generates amazing data.

This great tradition has been used for soul retrieval, divination, problem solving and deep physical healing. It has especially beneficial results leading to a more focused and sharp mind. It provides an opportunity to open yourself to receive the wisdom of the universe and live in a more connected way to the earthly and heavenly forces that are guiding your life. Families are always welcome, children and teens love this experience! Bring a pillow.</p> <p>Over the course of four intensive weekends, timed to coincide with the cross quarter days recognized in many cultures, participants will receive teachings and experience ceremonies that will explore the four aspects of the shamanic medicine wheel. In addition, a rotating monthly cycle of shamanic gatherings (Fire Ceremonies, Healing Circles &amp; Shamanic Journeys), as well as one on one mentorship with the instructors, will provide continuity between intensives. This training program is designed to produce significant changes in the lives of its participants. They should expect to be challenged, and to undergo profound personal transformation over the course of the ten month program. Upon completion, the participant will have a basic knowledge of shamanism and its precepts, and have gained experience doing the inner and outer work of this path.

I love this excerpt from Leonard on Divine ( Intelligent) Energy - Enjoy !</p> <p><b>Divine Energy by Leonard Orr</b></p> <p><b><i>When the Divine Energy is moving in our body, it knows exactly what to do! It cleans and nourishes our body, it cleans and nourishes our mind. The energy renews our spirit. We are safe, we don’t need to worry. When we relax and allow the energy to do its healing work, the movement of this energy in our mind and body becomes very pleasurable. There is no need for fear. The Divine Energy heals and repairs our broken or damaged parts. It heals our physical memories of pain and hurts. The energy also heals our emotional pains and hurt feelings. Energy flows, though sometimes it is powerful and frightens us; it is washing away and releasing our memories of hurts. The energy is giving us more freedom, more room in our mind and body to relax. The energy is liberating us from the past memories, mind and body memories, which limit us and imprison us. These memories imprison us in perpetual tension and stress until we release them. These memories make us stiff in our body and mind. They paralyze us and prevent our free physical and spiritual expression.</i></b></p> <p><b><i>When we allow the divine energy to flow in our body and to wash away these memories, we become lighter and freer and have more personal power for action in life. We have more power and energy for expression and productivity. We have more freedom</i></b></p> <p>Let Go of the Shore</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwWFZk4DI-w&amp;feature=player_embedded" class="embedded">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwWFZk4DI-w&amp;feature=player_embedded</a></p> <p><strong>For breath is life, and if you breathe well you will live long on earth.</strong> ~Sanskrit Proverb</p> <p>If you would like to participate in a community of support, cooperation, and sharing and be kept current on Rebirthing Breathwork in the NYC area please join this group.</p> <p>Monthly Meditation Circles, Healing Arts seminars, events and opportunities..</p> <p>blessings, peace</p> <p><strong><br> </strong></p>

As noted, the game is Free-to-Play, and the only restrictions are on the character, not the content (you don't run as fast or get bonus XP, but you can still group with friends and experience the storyline).</p> <p> </p> <p>We will be having 2 events next Thursday:  A leveling-up session for characters under 10, and a special flashpoint mission (called the Esseles) for characters 11-14.  Feel free to ask any questions here.</p> <p> </p> <p>-Jeremy</p> <p> </p> <p>We are a gaming group in Central NJ that mainly runs 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons. We run games out of both shops and local homes, wherever D&amp;D wants to be played. Our new campaign just started October 2008; travel to magical worlds and adventure with us!</p> <p>New players are definitely welcome. In fact they are encouraged- all new players receive a free mini just for showing up to their first game! We will help you make a character and teach you how to play if you are unfamiliar with 4th edition. Our current campaign setting is the Forgotten Realms for those that remember it!</p> <p>This group is organized by a Hasbro product rep who also runs non-D&amp;D events at local stores. We occasionally run events for D&amp;D Minis, Star Wars Minis, Axis &amp; Allies Minis, Avalon Hill Board Games and Heroscape (and even Magic: The Gathering once in a while). Most events have prize support! Come have fun with some roleplaying, some D&amp;D and some gaming goodness.</p> <p>We use Meetup.com for our event calendar- but check out our other social network pages on Wizards.com:</p> <p>Calendar: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/njgamers/calendar/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/njgamers/calendar/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/njgamers/calendar/</a></p> <p>News and Game Status: <a href="http://twitter.com/njgamers/"></a><a href="http://twitter.com/njgamers/" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/njgamers/</a></p> <p>Blog: <a href="http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/blog/"></a><a href="http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/blog/" target="_blank">http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/blog/</a></p> <p>Wiki: <a href="http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/wiki/"></a><a href="http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/wiki/" target="_blank">http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/wiki/</a></p> <p>Forums: <a href="http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/forum/"></a><a href="http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/forum/" target="_blank">http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/forum/</a></p>
10098423 242218 <p>Facilitators: <b>Monika &amp; Tom</b><br/>Topic: <b>Kinky and Bi, or Let's Talk About Kink</b></p> <p>Summary: Are Bi people kinkier than the rest of the world, or is that just one of "those" stereotypes? If you only have same-sex partners when you're in a threesome (*mmmmmm!*) are you really Bi? What is it like navigating kink circles as a bisexual, open or otherwise?</p> <p>If you're a practicing bi kinkster, did you realize you were kinky first or Bi first? What does kink mean to you? What would you *like* kink to mean to you? :-)</p> <p>Come explore these ideas (and anything else that tickles your fancy), or just "take it all in" at BiRequest's safe, non-judgmental forum. It's always fun to talk about kink!</p> <p>If you can't make it to the meeting, feel free to join us afterward "eight-fifteenish" for dinner at:</p> <p><a href="http://www.empireszechuanvillage.net/">Empire Szechuan 173 7th Avenue South</a> <i>(at Perry Street, one block south of 11th Street)</i></p> <p>Tired of feeling like we don't have a place where we can just be ourselves? Interested in meeting other like-minded folks who are <span>Bisexual, Non-Monosexual, Queer-identified</span> or just plain old Bi-friendly?</p> <p>The goal of this Meetup is to provide a fun, safe space for ALL Bisexual, Non-Monosexual, Queer-identified and Bi-friendly <em>(including Lesbian, Gay and "Straight-But-Not-Narrow")</em> folks to find out about great Bi-inclusive stuff to do, gather and interact in the New York City Tri-State Area, <em>(including Manhattan the Bronx, Brooklyn Queens, Staten Island, Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, Westchester County and the Lower Hudson Valley)</em>.</p>
100984732 5068552 <p>Come join us for our monthly spades game!  Fun, snacks and good people!</p> <p>*If you can not make it, please change your RSVP.  Spades is a four person game so it is important we know how many people are actually coming.  Thanks!!</p> Looking for people to play a friendly game of Spades once a month. Will limit it to 12 people and hope to have 3 games going at once. It will be at my place (where I already have a very successful game night meetup) so people can bring some snacks and drinks and we'll just hang out, have some food and play some spades!

A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Aglarond for characters levels 4-7.</p> <p><b>LURU1-3 Shades of Blue Fire</b><br/>A century ago, the Spellplague changed the very face of Faerun. Now, whispered rumors emerging from the wilderness around Sundabar tell of a hitherto unknown and yet active plagueland surrounding the forsaken and long abandoned village of Dorn’s Ford. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Luruar for characters levels 7-10.</p> <p>We are a gaming group in Central NJ that mainly runs 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons.

10098762 184599 <p><b>OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS</b></p> <p>Join us for a night of board game fun! As always, Board Game Night is a potluck grab bag of board games (and non-collectable card games). Bring along a game you'd like to share, just come out and try a new game, or play an old favorite. No experience with the different games is necessary; beginners are always welcome and rules are always taught.</p> <p>You don't need to bring a game to come, but if you've got one you'd like to share please bring it along (just list it in your rsvp or in the Talk About this Meetup section below so others will know what else is going to be there).</p> <p>If there is something you'd especially like to play check out the games other members have listed in our library (<a href="http://dnd.meetup.com/478/pages/GS2_Distributed_Boardgame_and_Cardgame_Library/"><a href="http://dnd.meetup.com" class="linkified">http://dnd.meetup.com</a>...</a>) then use the Talk About this Meetup section below to request it. (Heck, feel free to take a stab in the dark and request a game we haven't listed yet, chances are someone's got a copy!)</p> <p> p.s. If you are bringing a game to share, please take a couple of minutes to read over the rules before the meetup. This will make it much easier to explain to others!</p> The Garden State Gaming Society is a group of local adults (age 18+) who share the common interest for a variety of genres for role-playing games as well as board and non-collectible card games. We meet almost every week to play, discuss and test games of all kinds. It's a great way to meet new friends with similar interests.

In this case, I can call for another booth and the users on the second booth will pay Greenhouse Golf directly at their going rate ($45 per hour).  Basically if 4 people play at that rate, it will be $45 per person for the 4 hours.  Normal greens fees minus the walking, driving, ball searching, and divot fixing.</p> <p>They have a lunch menu but best of all it's BYOB :P</p> <p style="text-align : center">Avid Golfers of New Jersey (AGNJ) is a group welcoming golfers of all skill levels.  By joining the AGNJ family, you will become part of Meetup's most active and quickest growing golf group in New Jersey.</p> <p style="text-align : center">Seasons officially start in March and end in November, with meetups every weekend (oftentimes Saturday and Sunday).

10098980 1365218 <p>Our first Meetup of April, the incredible singer Typhanie Monique at one of Chicago's best rooms for jazz. Show starts at 5pm, but don't worry if you can't get there right away, she's on until 8:30pm. Cover is a very reasonable $5.</p> <p>As always, you can email, call or text for any addl. info you need[masked]</p> <p>John</p> <p> From Andy's website:</p> <p>Since 1998, Typhanie Monique has been a tour de force on the Chicago music scene as a vocalist, bandleader and songwriter. The soulful, honey-voiced chanteuse is one of Chicago’s hardest-working musicians. She has performed at every major venue in the Chicago club scene over the past 10 years, leading legendary groups such as SUMO, Peking Turtle, Mr. Egg Germ, Jive Council, Choral Thunder, the T. Monique Quartet and the Typhanie Monique &amp; Neal Alger Duo.</p> <p>Over the past four years, Typhanie has devoted herself to her primary passion — Jazz — and has made her mark on the international jazz scene with longtime musical partner Neal Alger, one of Chicago’s finest improvising guitarists. Their creative synergy began in 2000 when Monique asked Alger to be a sideman in her jazz quartet and to occasionally take the lead guitar role with her original funk outfit Peking Turtle. Monique quickly realized the musical dynamic between herself and Alger in January 2003 when they fused and polished "Tymoneal". In 2004, Typhanie teamed with Alger to record her first jazz CD, Intrinsic (Blujazz Records). Intrinsic did more than just capture the duo’s organic, soul-infused flavor in an intimate studio setting; it re- ceived national radio play, got the attention of the press and landed them national touring opportunities.</p> <p>2007 &amp; 2008 were incredible years for Typhanie Monique. It began with a new CD, In This Room. Monique and Alger took a different approach with their second release, collaborating with world-class musicians such as Tom Kennedy (Dave Weckl Band), Ernie Adams (Al Di Meola) and Brazilian artist Paulinho Garcia. Production-wise, their sound is more polished, and their years of experience as a duo come through clearly in the innate delivery of their sound. This past holiday season brought the release of Yuletide Groove which reached #30 on the Jazz Week Charts after 4 short weeks</p> <p>For lovers of jazz - we'll be meeting at various clubs throughout the city, as well as the festivals. Let's enjoy the excellent jazz this city has to offer.</p> <p>We're going to hit the entire range of jazz from traditional to experimental. From the nicest jazz clubs to tiny performance spaces. Give everything a try, and I'm sure you'll find something you love.</p> <p>Other non-Meetup jazz shows, as well as other jazz-related information that might be of interest will be posted on the Message Board. Please feel free to post there.</p>

10099125 235362 <p>If you are new and/or have never been to the "home" apiary of the Meetup this is your chance. We will open the hives and inspect them for good health and productivity.<br/>Wear long pants and preferably socks that you can tuck them into. There's nothing like a bee crawling up your leg to start you dancing. Protective gear not required, but if you have long hair, best to tuck it under a cap or hat. Bees in your hair are no fun either.<br/>Remember that bees are basically gentle and will not attack unless you provoke them.</p> <p style="text-align : left"><span style="color : #eaa051"><strong><span style="font-size : small">Press inquiries please email: nycbeekeeping.net AT gmail.com<br> </span></strong></span></p> <p style="text-align : left"><span style="color : #eaa051"><strong><span style="font-size : small">4/4/2014 PLEASE NOTE: Our Facebook account has been hijacked.

I'm Ed Lee, the organizer of this Meetup and you must be reading this because you're crazy about photography in the Big Apple!  We welcome all, whether you're a beginner or an experienced pro. We're here to help you improve your "photo eye" and translate your visions to images you can share with others!  Networking and socializing with other photogs is my goal.  Field trips in and around metro NYC are but one of the many activities I have planned.  Others include interesting and historic sites, gallery hops, classes and speakers and any and everything related to our favorite hobby.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : small">As I mentioned, your skill level with a camera is not important! The type of camera you are using is not important as we have photographers with camera phones, film cameras as well as digital.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : small">The NY Photo &amp; Safari Meetup group's main focus (pardon the pun) is to go to locations and events in metro New York City to shoot great photographs!</span></p> <p>We hope to encourage you to get off the couch or leave your computer behind, to pick up your camera and join us for one or many of our upcoming events. <span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : small">If you have always wanted to visit places that you would not go on your own or never thought about to visit. If you want to improve your photography skills by learning from others. If you want to share what you know about photography with others. If you want to do all these things then this Meetup is for you.  I try to keep all events at minimum costs or free!<br> </span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : small">My background. I'm retired from my own business, close to 40 years in the custom photolab and studio end of things in Manhattan's former "Photo District."  With a film background, I migrated to digital in the early '90s and never looked back.  Currently, I'm also the President of Park West Camera Club and a member of the Camera Club of NY as well and over 30 other Meetup groups (Organizer of 3!) of varying interests.  My latest is Day Trading which I do mornings during the week.  I'm on my computers almost all the time and keep up with things in the world, trying to share newsworthy items I pick up on the web.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000 ; font-size : small">Join our group!  The only requirements are to have fun, to attend an event once in awhile and to post your photos on our site.  Your suggestions and correspondence is always welcome.  I've been pretty good and endeavour to reply post haste.<br> </span></p> <p>Ed Lee  212-255-9678  &lt;elee950021 at gmail.com&gt;</p>

If you've ever visited <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/">Hacker News</a>, you've almost certainly seen the "Show HN" or "Ask HN" posts. Well, it's time to get off the Internet and tell us about it face to face. We'll provide you with our honest feedback, you provide us with a great hack, or idea.</p> <p>We'll give you 5 minutes to show off your tool, hack, library (did you just write a library to access the Meetup API in Go!?), whatever. We're language and software/hardware agnostic, so it's all fair game.</p> <p>After you present, it's an open forum. The audience will ask questions and provide feedback. We want to enable as much participation as possible at these meetups, so you'd better be able to take criticism and dish it out (all within reason of course).</p>

10099786 363536 <p>How can men awaken to a more empowered masculine presence? Where is your edge and how do you find the strength and support to live a life of action and accountability in alignment with your deepest purpose?</p> <p>This is an invitation for all men who wish to explore Men's Work through group exercises, inspiring feedback, and empowering challenges.</p> <p>The Brotherhood, a tribe of men who gather every week, will be leading a Men's Workshop on April 8th, from 7-9pm at Centerpoint Studios in downtown Manhattan. This is a one-night event.</p> <p>It's our Mission to create a safe and sacred space to allow our Brothers to take off their armor, put down their shields, and open themselves to the strength and beauty of challenging interactions and exercises with other men, as well as giving and receiving supportive feedback within a group dynamic.</p> <p>This gathering is an introduction to Men’s Work open to both newcomers and experienced men who would like connect with other conscious men.</p> <p>Bring a friend, a co-worker -- you know who they are! Come celebrate with other spiritual brothers who are committed to living their deepest truth and offering their greatest gifts.</p> <p>Centerpoint Studios<br/>324 Lafayette St. (7th Floor)<br/>NYC (Btwn Houston &amp; Bleeker)</p> <p>Wednesday, April 8th</p> <p>Come early – we will start at 7pm sharp. There is a charge of $10 to cover the cost of space rental.</p> <p>Please RSVP on this Meetup Group or to [masked]</p> <p>ADDITIONAL INFO:<br/>What is a Men's group?</p> <p>A men's group is a group of men who meet regularly and are committed to the goals of learning to serve each other to deeper spiritual growth, keeping each other true to their deepest life's purpose, and practicing giving their unique gifts to each other and the world.</p> <p>Five reasons for a man to join a Men's Group:</p> <p><br/>Taken from "Way of the Superior Man", by David Deida</p> <p>1) BEING IN THE COMPANY OF OTHER MEN - "A man discovers and fine tunes his purpose in solitude, in challenging situations, and in the company of other men who won't settle for his bullshit. A mans capacity to receive another mans direct criticism is a measure of his capacity to receive masculine energy."</p> <p>2) HAVING MEN HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE FOR LIVING YOUR DEEPEST PURPOSE - Cut through your BS SE<br/>"Your mission is your priority, unless you know your mission and have aligned your life to it, your core will feel empty. Your presence in the world will be weakened, as will your presence with your intimate partner."</p> <p>3) MEN WHO ARE DEDICATED WITH YOU - "Be in the company of other men who are dedicated their lives to integrity, truth, and the heart. Men who are dedicated to live with an open heart and give their deepest gifts of love, mission and presence. The way a man penetrates the world should be the same way he penetrates his woman: not merely for personal gain or pleasure, but to magnify love, openness, and depth."</p> <p>4) SUPPORT YOUR EDGE WITH OTHER MEN - "Choose men friends who themselves are living at their edge, facing their fears and living just beyond them. Men of this kind can love you without protecting you from necessary confrontation with reality that your life involves."</p> <p>5) CUT THROUGH YOUR BS - "At least once a week, get together with your men friends to serve one another. Cut through the bullshit and talk with each other straight. Welcome such criticisms from your friends. Suggest challenges for each other to take on, in order to bring each other through the fears which limit your surrender in gifting."<br/></i><br/></i></p> <p>Men grow in the company of real, honest, deep, heart centered other men.</p> <p>Books such as "Way of the Superior Man" by David Deida, work by Justin Sterling, Robert Bly "Iron John" and Sam Keen "Fire in the Belly" are some of the works that descirbe the huge growth in the mens movement.</p> <p>This is a quarterly meeting of any man interested in mens community.</p>

Flashbacks have taken place after the current timeline, regular castaways are in 3 different timelines (at least), and it's all a bit wonky to keep track of.</p> <p><br/>So let's go back and watch what's happened, this time at my place on my new 52" TV.<br/>Remember - we can't change these episodes, because they're in the past.</p> <p><br/>*Additional Information*<br/>It's kindly requested that everyone bring some kind of food or drink for the shindig to share with the group. Eats and drinks make the masses merrier. Alcohol is welcomed, of course (lest ye not be familiar with this group!). If need be, there's a bodega on the corner, a Papa John's right <i>around</i> the corner, and a great Chinese delivery place.</p> <p>Please include all guests' first names in your RSVP comment. This assists in name tag preparation and/or comes in handy if/when your guest shows up before you do.</p> <p><br/>Subway Directions:<br/>Take the N or W train to Astoria Blvd. When you get off the train and walk down to the ticket machines and booth, you'll be able to see a Burger King. Walk AWAY from the Burger King towards the stairs and take the LEFT stairs down to the street. This will put you at the corner of 31st Street and Astoria Blvd. Make a RIGHT on Astoria Blvd and walk about 5 minutes to Crescent St. Make a RIGHT onto Crescent and my building is halfway down the block on the left. There's a buzzer for 4G.</p> <p>Legal Disclaimer: This fansite is not in any way, shape, or form affiliated with ABC, Bad Robot Productions or Disney.

10100314 1020990 <p>This webinar shows how your nonprofit can develop and execute an Internet strategy to further its mission. We'll examine how nonprofits are using the Internet, how they'd like to be using the Internet, and how they should be using the Internet (but may be unaware of) – and how to bridge that significant gap easily and quickly. You’ll learn how to drive more traffic to and fundraising through your site. We'll give specific suggestions on how you can improve your website so it will offer lots for your website visitors to SEE and lots for them to DO.</p> <p>Each participant will be offered a free Internet Readiness Assessment (IRA) workshop, conducted at your site or by phone. The workshop examines the ways your nonprofit is using the Internet today and ways you should be using the Internet strategically to further your mission, and identifies a high-level plan to bridge the gap. The IRA workshop includes the rapid building of a powerful e-philanthropy prototype website incorporating much of your nonprofit's needed functionality.</p> <p>Please RSVP for this webinar, then register at: <a href="http://www.charityfinders.com/Webinar"><a href="http://www.charityfin" class="linkified">http://www.charityfin</a>...</a></p> <p>Women Entrepreneurs Unite!

10100509 364055 <p><i><b>Photography Buffs and Lovers of New York City: This event is for you!</b></i></p> <p>I have been thinking about putting together an event like this for some time now. I have wanted to share my overwhelming, unadulterated, undying love of New York City with each and every one of you through event after event. This tour is another way to do that. I want to see New York City through your eyes, your lens, your vision. We are headed to Lower Manhattan to appreciate the architecture and the history and the culture. <b>WalkNYC will be our tour guide on this personalized, private tour, just for us!</b> We are in for a fantastic time!</p> <p>To tour Lower Manhattan (a/k/a The Financial District) is to explore New York from its earliest European influences to its current role as financial capital of the world. This tour makes a wonderful introduction to New York City and a wonderful opportunity for native New Yorkers to gain a true appreciation for the city in which we live. New York is an Amazing, Wonderful, Beautiful city. So people, we are off... Off to see the city!</p> <p><i>Planned stops include:</p> <p>* Battery Park (from which we see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island)</p> <p>* Bowling Green Park</p> <p>* The site of the Dutch Stadt Huis and the archaeological remains of early Manhattan</p> <p>* The city's first paved street</p> <p>* Delmonico's</p> <p>* Wall Street</p> <p>* Federal Hall National Monument, where George Washington was inaugurated</p> <p>* The New York Stock Exchange</p> <p>* Trinity Church and graveyard</p> <p>* And Soooo much more!</p> <p>In addition, the tour is supplemented with historic drawings from the 17th century onward, showing what life was like in Dutch New Amsterdam, Colonial New York, and in the post-Revolutionary period when New York was (briefly) the capital of the United States. More recent photographs illustrate the architectural development of the skyscraper and the growth of Wall Street.</i></p> <p>After the walk we will grab a a little nibble, a little nosh, grab a speck of a bite. This will be a wonderful way to spend a beautiful spring day. So fun!</p> <p>Remember: This is also a photography tour. After the event you will email me you five (5) favorite photos. I will post them for the women to vote. She who has taken the best shot will win a prize! What's better than that?!</p> <p> Cost of this event:</p> <p><br/>$25.23 per person</p> <p> Now for the Business:</p> <p><br/>Length of tour: 2 hours. Remember: Wear comfortable footwear and loose-fitting, comfortable clothing.</p> <p>Cost of this Event: $25.23 per person. Refunds can be requested (by email) up to 7 days before the event.</p> <p>Our customary <b>$2 Event fee</b> will be collected on the day of the event.</p> <p> All tours are led by Michelle or James Nevius and feature a mix of stops that highlight the history, architecture, and cultural development of the neighborhood. We are both historians who believe that the best way to experience New York City is up close and on foot.</p> <p>I can't wait for this one! We are going to have a MAH-velous time! See you there, my darlings!</p> <p>This group is all about getting together to get to know new people and experience new things.  I look forward to meeting you at our events!</p>

10100667 257310 <p>DON'T MISS THIS!!!<br/>WEBINAR ON MONDAY NIGHT COULD<br/>INCREASE YOUR TAX DEDUCTIONS BY<br/>THOUSANDS FOR HEALTH CARE COSTS<br/>. ... AND HELP YOU RECRUIT PROSECTS, TOO!</p> <p>MOST taxpayers get only very limited tax deductions<br/>for health care costs that are not reimbursed by their<br/>health insurance plan. In fact, in order to get any deductions,<br/>they have two hurdles...</p> <p>FIRST a taxpayer HAS to itemize their tax deductions<br/>(file a Schedule A), and SECOND, even if they file an<br/>Itemized Return, they can claim only the amount above<br/>7.5% of their taxable income. For example...</p> <p>Ex: A person earning $40,000 a year can claim only<br/>medical expenses above $3,000 (i.e., 7.5% of $40,000).<br/>The first $3,000 is not tax deductible at all!</p> <p>That's for MOST taxpayers, but NOT for YOU<br/>if you run a home-based business!</p> <p>A business owner could deduct every cent of ALL<br/>out-of-pocket health costs -- and are not required<br/>to file an Itemized Tax Return because the deduction<br/>is taken on Schedule C as a Business Expense.</p> <p>MONDAY NIGHT you can LEARN HOW<br/>to deduct -- for your entire family -- ALL:<br/>? Insurance Premiums<br/>? Annual Deductibles<br/>? Co-pays<br/>? Non-covered Procedures and Products<br/>? Alternative Therapies<br/>? Natural Health products (in many cases)<br/>? Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs<br/>? and even aspirin and Band Aids!</p> <p>DATE/TIME: Mon., Apr 6 at 6:00 pm PDT / 9 pm EDT<br/>CONNECTION: Webinar or Phone -- your choice<br/>TUITION: F*R*E*E<br/>REGISTER AT: www.HomeBusinessTaxSavings.com<br/>(see Item #1, right at the top of the page)</p> <p>Come to our monthly meetups to make conversation and business contacts.</p> <p>Each month each member will have an opportunity to introduce yourself and your product/service. Several times a year we will invite germane guest speakers to address the group.</p> <p>We are a casual yet professional group of small business entrepreneurs who meet monthly to get to know one another and resultingly grow our revenues through word of mouth contact and learning more about each other's enterprises. The more you know the more you can recommend, the better the networking opportunities.</p>
10100724 1299276 <p>Come and join us for a Korean dinner party at Kum Gang-San.<br/><a href="http://www.kumgangsan.net/gallery_manhattan.htm"><a href="http://www.kumgangsan" class="linkified">http://www.kumgangsan</a>...</a></p> <p>Love Korean food but frustrated or does not know what to order in Korean restaurant? Or Never had one? This will be a great opportunity to learn and experience Korean cuisine. Korean cuisine is quite different from other east-asian cuisines such as Chinese or Japanese in its taste and flavoring, and mostly the table setting. Once you have it you will notice the difference.</p> <p>The menu will be pre-fixed by Sarah (Korean), including the famous BBQ (beef ribs &amp; pork belly) and all sorts of Table Hote such as seafood scallion pan cake, Hot stone bibimbap, tofu/fish/seafood stew, rice cake soup and overwhelming number of side dishes including that notorious spicy Kim-Chi. Traditionally, Koreans love to impress guests, the bigger and fuller the table, the better. The menu is all to be shared (Yes, Korean cuisine is all about sharing too, so practice your chopstick skills before). All accompanied by little shots of Soju and fruit wine. If you have any preference on certain dishes, please let Sarah know so that can added into menu for you.</p> <p>The price per person will run $30 including tip – prefer cash since it would be easy to manage the bill.</p> <p>There will be some Korean traditional instrument performance at the restaurant. A lady (Not lady Ga-Ga) playing Ga-Ya-Gum wearing Korean traditional costume.</p> Hello 1001ers I thought it would be really fun to put together a list of 1001 really special "NYC" only activities that are true to the character of this city. Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share. Our task is to get there and make a few friends along the way! http://blip.tv/file/2901093 Open Event Hosting Policy: 1) To host an event submit an idea here http://www.meetup.com/1001ers/suggestion/ . 2) Keep your event as "city-centric" as you can 3) Our group organizers are experienced and can assist you in coordinating your event! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PLEASE READ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our group has a strict ANTI-FLAKE POLICY for you RSVP-aholics (2 No Shows=bye bye) This policy is mandatory to keep our group strong! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * That said, lets get started, life's short AND our list is long!

This is also called the original spark or creation, or the life force itself. Seeing the volcano in Hawaii, you know some spiritual force is in action. The kahunas would say Madame Pele is the goddess of that force. Madame Pele’s wish is that we be all that we can be and that realize we are on the path of being masters and are masters. This is her wish that we take responsibility for our thoughts and actions — we create everything and we become spiritual kahunas ourselves.”  Sondra Ray</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Healing Archetypes activates a deep knowing in your consciousness; through identification you become attuned to the message and the energy of the god or goddess.  Through the telling and understanding of the story’s message you will be awakened to the energy for healing. </p> <p> </p> <p>• Listen to the fascinating stories and legends of Pele</p> <p>• Get a feel of working with the fire element that Pele brings</p> <p>• Look at Pele's themes and see how they correspond to your life now.</p> <p>• Journey with Pele and discover what new patterns you can create in your life.</p> <p>• Rewire your mind through receiving the consciousness, energy, and awareness of Pele.</p> <p>• Create a ritual to connect with this energy</p> <p>• Strengthen your connection to Pele as a spiritual helper.</p> <p>• Use the archetypes in the stories of Pele to empower your life</p> <p> </p> <p>We will work with storytelling, self examination, guided meditations, rituals, questions and answers</p> <p>Everything that is offered this evening can be integrated can’t it?</p> <p> </p> <p>Please bring a pen and paper to journal with you</p> <p> </p> <p>To RSVP and Help with Reservations</p> <p>Contact Debra Huelsebusch at[masked]</p> <p>Rev.

Even in pictures of the volcano, sometimes a woman’s face shows up. I call it the divine mother or the feminine aspect of God. This is also called the original spark or creation, or the life force itself. Seeing the volcano in Hawaii, you know some spiritual force is in action. The kahunas would say Madame Pele is the goddess of that force. Madame Pele’s wish is that we be all that we can be and that realize we are on the path of being masters and are masters. This is her wish that we take responsibility for our thoughts and actions — we create everything and we become spiritual kahunas ourselves.”  Sondra Ray</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Healing Archetypes activates a deep knowing in your consciousness; through identification you become attuned to the message and the energy of the god or goddess.  Through the telling and understanding of the story’s message you will be awakened to the energy for healing. </p> <p> </p> <p>• Listen to the fascinating stories and legends of Pele</p> <p>• Get a feel of working with the fire element that Pele brings</p> <p>• Look at Pele's themes and see how they correspond to your life now.</p> <p>• Journey with Pele and discover what new patterns you can create in your life.</p> <p>• Rewire your mind through receiving the consciousness, energy, and awareness of Pele.</p> <p>• Create a ritual to connect with this energy</p> <p>• Strengthen your connection to Pele as a spiritual helper.</p> <p>• Use the archetypes in the stories of Pele to empower your life</p> <p> </p> <p>We will work with storytelling, self examination, guided meditations, rituals, questions and answers</p> <p>Everything that is offered this evening can be integrated can’t it?</p> <p> </p> <p>Please bring a pen and paper to journal with you</p> <p> </p> <p>To RSVP and Help with Reservations</p> <p>Contact Debra Huelsebusch at[masked]</p> <p>Rev.

It helps us open up to our divine nature and rid ourselves of the distortions allowing us to feel more joy and love in our lives. When we are in that state life becomes easier and our world flows in more supportive ways then we can imagine. As we are in that natural peak&nbsp;state we&nbsp;&nbsp;are able to radiate this energy&nbsp;out from us&nbsp;.With this attunement we gift the world with all the wonderful qualities of peace, love, compassion&nbsp;that we&nbsp;are holding; in&nbsp;that space we create &nbsp;for ourselves and others we are able to &nbsp;transform the planet with our good intentions. We are thereby creating a ripple effect that flows around the entire universe.&nbsp;</p> <p>Recently on 11-11-11 people from all over the world meditated for world peace and oneness. The planet has felt the shift in the energy. Maybe some of you who are sensitive to energy feel that shift. When we get together collectively we build that energy, the collective consciousness for positive change . You are invited in this group to shift to your highest consciousness to help heal yourself and the planet.</p> <p>We welcome all people who would like to have more peace, love, and happiness in the world. The group will have social activities, and workshops on helping create the shift and healing energies to develop yourself more fully. Each person of us can make a difference and all we need is the willingness to put our energy into that intention. The group will have a spiritual focus.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&ldquo;World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.&rdquo; &#8213; Dalai Lama XIV</p>

101013672 211654 <p><b>DRÁCULA</b><br/>Directed by George Melford • 1931<br/>During late evenings in the winter of 1930, presumably while Bela Lugosi and Tod Browning were tearing up Hollywood and Vine or fast asleep, something strange and sexy was happening on the Universal Backlot: Spanish-illiterate George Melford, a translator, and a Spanish-speaking cast were filming a version of <i>Dracula</i> with lower cut dresses and more rats. During the early days of sound, the practice of shooting multiple-language versions of the same film for foreign export was fairly common, using the same sets and production schedule, the process could be streamlined quite easily. Sadly, the Spanish-language <i>Dracula</i> is one of the few of these films that survive (Laurel &amp; Hardy’s <i>La Vida Nocturna &amp; Politiquerias</i> are among others); if the rest of them are half as good as this, then we’ve lost a significant chunk of cinema history, not just curiosities. Carlos Villarías plays Drácula, though it should be noted that  Lugosi couldn’t speak very good English either.

It is difficult for them to find social events where they can meet other singles their age.  Though I am comfortable in and enjoy social groups with a broad age range, I realized that some of my friends, especially friends older than me, wanted a group that was more their own age. I decided to see if I could fill that need. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size : medium">The idea is to have happy hours, dinners, museum visits, dances, movie nights, game nights, etc. where active men and women can meet each other for fun events in no-pressure situations, where friendship and romance can blossom!

Even in pictures of the volcano, sometimes a woman’s face shows up. I call it the divine mother or the feminine aspect of God. This is also called the original spark or creation, or the life force itself. Seeing the volcano in Hawaii, you know some spiritual force is in action. The kahunas would say Madame Pele is the goddess of that force. Madame Pele’s wish is that we be all that we can be and that realize we are on the path of being masters and are masters. This is her wish that we take responsibility for our thoughts and actions — we create everything and we become spiritual kahunas ourselves.”  Sondra Ray</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Healing Archetypes activates a deep knowing in your consciousness; through identification you become attuned to the message and the energy of the god or goddess.  Through the telling and understanding of the story’s message you will be awakened to the energy for healing. </p> <p> </p> <p>• Listen to the fascinating stories and legends of Pele</p> <p>• Get a feel of working with the fire element that Pele brings</p> <p>• Look at Pele's themes and see how they correspond to your life now.</p> <p>• Journey with Pele and discover what new patterns you can create in your life.</p> <p>• Rewire your mind through receiving the consciousness, energy, and awareness of Pele.</p> <p>• Create a ritual to connect with this energy</p> <p>• Strengthen your connection to Pele as a spiritual helper.</p> <p>• Use the archetypes in the stories of Pele to empower your life</p> <p> </p> <p>We will work with storytelling, self examination, guided meditations, rituals, questions and answers</p> <p>Everything that is offered this evening can be integrated can’t it?</p> <p> </p> <p>Please bring a pen and paper to journal with you</p> <p> </p> <p>To RSVP and Help with Reservations</p> <p>Contact Debra Huelsebusch at[masked]</p> <p>Rev.

And a deliciously good thing is the third installment of the New York City Vegetarian Food Festival, arriving at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea, March 2-3.</p> <p>We're talking free samples of raw-mantic foods, vegan ice cream, Indian delicacies, hemp-based foods, vegan jerky, vegan shakes, seitan creations, teas, TVP marvels, peanut butters, vegan cupcakes and dark chocolate, to name a few of our drool-inducers. And we’ll also feature top-shelf vegan authors, kick-boxing, yoga demos, puppet shows for the younger set, burlesque music, miles of cruelty-free merchandise to snag, raffles, health-conscious pep talks, cooking programs….</p> <p>Last year, 6000 revelers lined up on the sidewalk, surged through the doors, and happily thronged the Festival. Prepare to join the crowd this year, because the third time's the charm!</p> <p>Dates: Saturday, March 2nd and Sunday, March 3rd</p> <p>Time: 10:00 AM-5:00 PM both days</p> <p><b>General Admission (available at the door only): just $5 each day</b></p> <p>Advance VIP Tickets: <a href="https://nycvegfoodfest.chirrpy.com"><a href="https://nycvegfoodfest.chirrpy.com" class="linkified">https://nycvegfoodfest.chirrpy.com</a></a></p> <p>Food Fest Web Site: <a href="http://nycvegfoodfest.com/"><a href="http://nycvegfoodfest.com" class="linkified">http://nycvegfoodfest.com</a></a></p> <p><b>Meeting Up At The Veg Food Fest (Optional)</b></p> <p>You may attend both days, or just one. Admission will be available for $5 each day, at the door, on the day of the event. I will be there both days, and I encourage you to do so if you can. This is a tremendously fun, educational, and tasty event!</p> <p><b>For those that wish to, our Meetup Group will be meeting up at the Veg Food Fest both days. Each day (Saturday and Sunday) we will meet twice:</b></p> <p><b>1. The first meetup will be at 9:30am (each day, Saturday and Sunday) on the entrance line to Food Fest.</b> Just get on line when you arrive. I will be going up and down the line with a "MEETUP" sign looking for our members. We will all make a plan to meet inside at the beginning. Look for me and my "MEETUP" sign so you can be part of the plan. I will come right over to you, just call out to me when you see me with the "MEETUP" sign.</p> <p><b>2. At 1:00pm each day (Saturday and Sunday) we will meet outside the front doors of the Food Fest (outside the front doors of the building itself -- the Metropolitan Pavilion).</b> I will again have my "MEETUP" sign so you will easily see me and the group. At 1:10pm we will then all go back inside and eat lunch together at the food vendors.</p> <p>These daily meetups are optional of course. You can RSVP and attend the Food Fest entirely on your own if you wish. But it is fun to meet up with other Meetup Group members for part of the event, and to have lunch with people from the group. Even if you have never been to one of our events before, come on along and make some new vegetarian &amp; vegan friends.</p> <p>This is one of my favorite events all year. Congratulations to Sarah Gross and Nira Paliwoda for producing these amazing and extremely successful events! The last two Food Fests were incredibly fun, educational, and wonderfully delicious. For a great time, please RSVP and attend.</p> <p><b>Newly Added: Whether you are attending on Saturday or Sunday, you are invited to come meet us for a <a href="http://www.meetup.com/vegetarian-nyc/events/104922402/">Sunday (March 3rd) Dinner at Zen Palate</a> (also on 18th Street), at 5:30pm, right after the Fair finishes. Come and talk about all the things you learned, food you sampled, and fun you had!<br/>For complete information and to RSVP:<br/><a href="http://www.meetup.com/vegetarian-nyc/events/104922402/"><a href="http://www.meetup.com/vegetarian-nyc/events/104922402/" class="linkified">http://www.meetup.com/vegetarian-nyc/events/104922402/</a></a></b></p> <p>David</p> <p><strong>Do you love trying new vegetarian &amp; vegan restaurants?  Do you enjoy the company of fellow vegetarians &amp; vegans?  Are you occasionally frustrated that your meat-eating friends "don't get it," and do you wish to dine with others that have the same enthusiasm for vegetarian and vegan food that you do?</strong></p> <p><strong>Welcome to our group.  What I am especially proud of is all the wonderful members we have.  We seem to attract some of the very nicest, most thoughtful people in New York.  Given the focus of our group, I am not surprised.</strong></p> <p><strong>New York has many excellent vegetarian and vegan restaurants, and new ones are opening all the time.  Join us as we explore them all, and enjoy dining with some of the kindest, most gracious, most socially-conscious people in New York.</strong></p> <p><strong>Plus, join us as we go out on the town to vegetarian and vegan friendly bars and lounges.  And partake when we go to visit some outstanding music venues.  Great ways to have delightful nights on the town in the company of a fun and friendly group of vegetarians and vegans.</strong></p> <p><strong>We warmly welcome all vegetarians and vegans as well as those that are considering a vegetarian or vegan diet.</strong></p> <p><strong>Last year our meetup group was profiled in a news story on CNN's Headline News channel.

Even in pictures of the volcano, sometimes a woman’s face shows up. I call it the divine mother or the feminine aspect of God. This is also called the original spark or creation, or the life force itself. Seeing the volcano in Hawaii, you know some spiritual force is in action. The kahunas would say Madame Pele is the goddess of that force. Madame Pele’s wish is that we be all that we can be and that realize we are on the path of being masters and are masters. This is her wish that we take responsibility for our thoughts and actions — we create everything and we become spiritual kahunas ourselves.”  Sondra Ray</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Healing Archetypes activates a deep knowing in your consciousness; through identification you become attuned to the message and the energy of the god or goddess.  Through the telling and understanding of the story’s message you will be awakened to the energy for healing. </p> <p> </p> <p>• Listen to the fascinating stories and legends of Pele</p> <p>• Get a feel of working with the fire element that Pele brings</p> <p>• Look at Pele's themes and see how they correspond to your life now.</p> <p>• Journey with Pele and discover what new patterns you can create in your life.</p> <p>• Rewire your mind through receiving the consciousness, energy, and awareness of Pele.</p> <p>• Create a ritual to connect with this energy</p> <p>• Strengthen your connection to Pele as a spiritual helper.</p> <p>• Use the archetypes in the stories of Pele to empower your life</p> <p> </p> <p>We will work with storytelling, self examination, guided meditations, rituals, questions and answers</p> <p>Everything that is offered this evening can be integrated can’t it?</p> <p> </p> <p>Please bring a pen and paper to journal with you</p> <p> </p> <p>To RSVP and Help with Reservations</p> <p>Contact Debra Huelsebusch at[masked]</p> <p>Rev.

101015732 211654 <p>The year is 1987. Motorcycle ninjas tighten their grip on Florida’s narcotics trade, viciously annihilating anyone who dares move in on their turf. Multi-national martial arts rock band Dragon Sounds have had enough, and embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice. When not chasing beach bunnies or performing their hit “Against the Ninja,” Mark (kung-fu master/inspirational speaker Y.K. Kim) and the boys are kicking and chopping at the drug world’s smelliest underbelly. It’ll take every ounce of their blood and courage, but Dragon Sounds can’t stop until they’ve completely destroyed the dealers, the drunk bikers, the kill-crazy ninjas, the middle-aged thugs, the “stupid cocaine”…and the entire MIAMI CONNECTION!!!</p> <p>Also playing January 26 at midnight.</p> <p><a href="http://www.musicboxtheatre.com/midnight" class="linkified">http://www.musicboxtheatre.com/midnight</a></p> We are horror fans, whether it be psychological, slasher, supernatural, Zombie (Romero Style) or anything else.

It is therefore important to register for this event early to secure a space.</p> <p>Overview<br/>The Consciousness Development Program (CDP) is IAC’s core curricular program. It offers the most comprehensive, transformative body of information that you are likely to find anywhere about life’s most fundamental questions. It examines who we are, what happens when we die, and even why we are here, besides other themes of existential significance. Students are shown how to incorporate the CDP’s ideas into their daily lives, allowing them to increase their fulfillment by living coherently with a broader, more accurate understanding of reality.</p> <p>Topics covered<br/>The CDP integrates a wide range of themes, giving students a cohesive, verifiable framework for understanding themselves, their energetic nature, their relationships, psychic phenomena, paranormal occurrences, and even their purpose in life. Key themes include:</p> <p>• Out-of-body experiences – what they are, their importance, techniques to induce them<br/>• The multidimensional nature of our existence<br/>• Paranormal and psychic phenomena<br/>• Energy (chi, prana) – using it to help ourselves and others<br/>• Past-life recall<br/>• Non-physical helpers (guides)<br/>• Other dimensions<br/>• Karma<br/>• Cosmoethics (multidimensional ethics)<br/>• Life after death<br/>• Existential program (life purpose)</p> <p>Basis and approach</p> <p>The CDP is based on research and scientific theories developed over more than 40 years. IAC’s foundational model recognizes the existence of psychic abilities, energy, and non-physical components within our reality. Consistent with that model, the IAC proposes a scientific yet participatory approach where knowledge about these topics is developed in-part through experiences. The participatory approach inevitably catalyzes personal growth, which is one of the ultimate aims of the CDP.</p> <p>Instructors<br/>IAC’s instructors are all highly trained, having taken all of IAC’s core courses, read key texts, gone through a rigorous two-year training program, and passed an exam.<br/>Course content</p> <p>Module 1:<br/>10 hours (8 theoretical and 2 practical)<br/>• Research on the out-of-body experience (OBE)<br/>• The OBE in history<br/>• Non-physical bodies<br/>• Bioenergy (chi, prana), chakras, aura<br/>• Synchronicity<br/>• Factors that facilitate the OBE<br/>• OBE take-off &amp; landing sensations<br/>• Characteristics of the nonphysical dimensions<br/>• Application of techniques for energetic and psychic development</p> <p><b>Pricing:<br/>Module 1 - $130</b><br/>*15% discounts for students and seniors with ID.</p> <p>To Register:<br/>Call[masked]</p> <p><span>The out-of-body experience – also known as astral projection or soul travel – is one of the best ways to experience psychic reality firsthand.  Whether you are interested in having an out-of-body experience yourself or simply learning more about it, you’re in the right place.</span></p> <p><span>The New York OBE Meetup is sponsored by the International Academy of Consciousness, an international not-for-profit organization dedicated to research and education in the fields of consciousness and multidimensionality.

10101686 523273 <p>The free lecture is an introduction to the fundamental ideas related to the evolution of the consciousness and the out-of-body experience.

10102075 1372152 <p>We will meet-up, discuss our experiences with Public Speaking and Singing. I will tell you more about my background, my vocal technique Controlled Relaxation, and 3Cs to NOTEworthy Business Presence, and offer vocal and presentational evaluations. There is no judgment. I am your biggest cheerleader!</p> <p>If you're using your voice to further your career as a singer, performer, or keynote speaker, you know how vital it is to work from your best vocal capability. To BOOK that job; To CONNECT to new clients; to CREATE new business. You've got to be able to breathe properly, reach your full range of notes, have more stamina, relaxation, and more power for projection. I know that all too well, as I continue to be an active performer myself. By working with the same proprietary Controlled Relaxation technique that has been used by many prominent entertainment and business professionals, you can expand your vocal range AND your career! As a vocal instructor for more than 15 years, I know how to work with students to help them reach their vocal potential quickly.</p>

Bring a lock for a locker. If you forget to bring a lock, you can borrow a lock from the bartender with a $5 deposit.</p> <p><i><b>No Wallyball experience is required!</b></i> <img src="http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/smileys/confused.gif" /></p> <p>We are looking to get a group to play Wallyball on Saturday Night from <b>6:30 to 8:30.</b> Most of us have never played Wallyball so it is going to be a learning experience. Don’t worry about your skill level. All skill levels are welcome. The cost will be divided up among the people playing. It will be under 10 dollars, it will depend on the number of people playing.</p> <p><a href="http://www.silverlakecc.com/golf/">Silver Lake CC</a></p> <p><b>What is Wallyball?</b></p> <p>A game similar to volleyball played on a four-walled court with a ball the same size as but harder than volleyball that is allowed to bounce once off the ceiling or one of the walls before being returned over the net.</p> <p>For those who don't know what Wallyball is - which probably means everybody but some US residents, it is just like Volleyball but played in a Racquetball court. A net is set up in the middle of the court, between the two long walls, and we usually play 2-2 or 3-3 (sometimes 4-4, but that's really not as fun: too many people on the court). The ball is blue, a little bit larger that a volley ball (1/2 inch in diameter maybe) made in some kind of plastic-leather (?), same material as for Racquet balls I would say, definitively more nervous than a regular Volley ball.</p> <p>Basically, the rules are the same as for Volleyball, but you can hit a wall when you pass the ball to the other side of the net. Only one wall is permitted at that point, and it has to be a side wall (long one). The serve is usually made by hitting the wall of the other side of the net, such as the rebound is hard to catch (low ones are the best). Otherwise, it a regular 3 sets play as for Volleyball, with spikes that usually use the wall as well. Defense is crazy in Wallyball, since you can hit your own walls (side and back) several times if you want, not just once as when you transfer the ball to the opponent.</p> <p>This is much faster that regular Volleyball, more fun for the beginners and less advantageous for the tall guys, although it doesn't have the beauty of a top league 6-6 Volleyball with nifty combinations and powerful jump serves.</p> <p><b>Here are some of the rules that varies from volleyball in a nutshell.</b></p> <p>1. The opponents back wall is always out. (You can play the ball off your own back wall.)<br/>2. On the serve, you can hit a maximum of 1 wall on either side of the net (except, of course, opponents back wall). Some people play that you must hit the wall on your own side of the net only. We play you can hit either side the net. After the serve you can hit the walls as many times as you like (except opponents back wall).<br/>3. Rally scoring to 21 points and must win by 2.<br/>4. If the ball hits the ceiling, your team mate must hit the ball before it goes over the net.<br/>5. You can not hit the net on the serve.</p> <p><b>Directions:</b></p> <p>Take 151st St. to 82nd Ave. Go North on 82nd Ave. The entrance is about 1/4 mile on your left.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Welcome to Southwest Suburbs Sports, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup(SWBurbsSOS)<br> The purpose of this group is to individuals/couples the opportunity to meet and connect with others with the same interests.</p> <p>We will be focusing on 3 areas:</p> <p>Sports will include: 1) Setup Teams for Park District Leagues 2) Road Races: 5K, etc 3) Golf Outings 4) Etc.</p> <p>Outdoors will include: 1) Hiking 2) Camping 3) Canoeing 4) Cycling 5) Etc.</p> <p>Socials will include: 1) Dining 2) Festivals 3) Picnics 4) Comedy Clubs 5) Concerts 6) Game Nights 7) Etc</p> <p>We have no membership dues.</p> <p>So why not join us and see what the SW Suburbs have to offer.</p> <p>If you have an idea for an event, please email us.</p> <p>Tell a Friend!</p> <p>---</p> <p>Upcoming Events<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/calendar/list/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/calendar/list/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/calendar/list/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/calendar/list/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/calendar/list/</a></p> <p>SW Burbs SOS Group on Facebook<br> (Meetup.com is the Group Main Site.)<br> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43825399923"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43825399923" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43825399923" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43825399923" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43825399923</a></p> <p>SW Burbs SOS Group on Yahoo<br> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWBurbSocialClub/"></a><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWBurbSocialClub/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWBurbSocialClub/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWBurbSocialClub/" target="_blank">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWBurbSocialClub/</a><br> ---<br> 2 Great Meetup Groups for you to enjoy.</p> <p>Southwest Suburbs Sports, Outdoors, and Social Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/</a></p> <p>Chicago Hiking, Outdoors, and Social Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsCampingPlus/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/</a></p> <p> </p>

101030142 1682237 <p>Hello Everyone, Donald Schwartz will be presenting his seminar "Use What You Have and Create Great Video for your Business on the Web and Beyond" at Unique Photo on Sunday Feb 3rd. Feel free to come and meetup and learn all about Video Production!</p> <p>This event is free with registration on Meetup.com</p> <p>"Use What You Have and Create Great Video for your Business on the Web and Beyond"</p> <p>Sponsored by Frezzi</p> <p>How does your video appear on today’s Flat Screen and HD TVs? How about the audio, does it sound flat or hollow? Your work is fast becoming another public viewing choice! So whether your videos live mainly on YouTube, public access cable, or indie internet broadcast channels, your production values will be compared to those of the mainstream and cable networks. </p> <p>Join Donald Schwartz as he helps you understand the fundamental difference between your camera’s features and your eyes. Donald will guide you through the differences between what your ears hear and what the camera records, and cover principles you can use immediately: The color of light sources, the quality of light, bouncing light and how to build perspective within the camera’s frame. </p> <p>Along the way Donald will discuss a number of simple, non-budget-busting techniques you can use to overcome your equipment’s limitations while improving your capabilities to tell your story in the most compelling way. </p> <p>Donald explains that his workshop has one underlying theme: “You’re smarter than your camera so I recommend you make the decisions as to focus, white balance, and audio level yourself”</p> <p>Some of the topics going to be covered include:</p> <p>Three Point Lighting<br/>Using Available Light<br/>Creating Dimensionality<br/>Different Ways of Setting Exposure with Your Video Camera: zebras, wave form monitor<br/>Depth of Field - Why It’s Important<br/>Lenses Within Your Camera: wide, normal, telephoto<br/>Camera Angles <br/>Sound Recording – best practices, different microphones and their uses<br/>Camera in Motion<br/>Video Camera Alternatives<br/>iPhone Videography <br/>Motion Picture Video Camera Tools Below $5K</p> <p> </p> <p><b>About Donald Schwartz</b></p> <p>I was born in Brooklyn and lived in the Slope for more than twenty years. When my wife Jennifer, an artist and graphic designer, and I first moved there, there were two restaurants on 5th Avenue and no boutiques. Before moving to Brooklyn we lived on the upper west side when the area was still called the wild, wild west. We are temporarily living in Wappingers Falls, New York before digging in at the tiny hamlet of Fort Montgomery, NY.<br/>Much earlier, in the late sixties early seventies--my memory of this period is a bit hazy--I graduated with a BA from Sarah Lawrence College (1972), hitchhiked across the United States, lived in an ashram in Wichita, Kansas, attended Woodstock, and worked as an au pair in France. Prior to my current career as a technical writer and photographer I was involved with shooting, directing, producing, and writing videos for clients such as IBM, AT&amp;T, Major League Baseball, Entertainment Tonight, Financial News Network, and Dudley-Anderson-Yutzey. My documentary film, Louie, was broadcast on PBS. <br/>I learned the most about shooting motion from working as Technical Director for choreographer Merce Cunningham's Deli Commedia broadcast on PBS Great Performances. In response to the question: What was your most bizarre on set experience? I'd say watching a tube camera go up in smoke. After that, inconveniences such as buzzing audio and last minute shooting location changes, pale in comparison. <br/>I prefer not to multi-task when listening to jazz, blues, folk or heavy metal. My favorite meal is a turkey burger and French Fries. Making beautiful images is my passion and find student questions as to "how" an amusing reminder of just how differently we see what's in front of us. I write a blog called thetechnologyteaser.com.</p> <p style="text-align : center">Unique Photo Meetup was created to bring photographers together to help them develop their skills and techniques.</p> <p style="text-align : center"><span style="color : #000000"><span style="font-size : medium"><span style="font-size : small"><strong><span style="font-size : 12px"><span style="font-size : medium">Any questions or comments, please email: pamela@uniquephoto.com</span></span></strong></span></span></span></p>

101038582 4567932 <p>Dear members,</p> <p>I have decided to change the topic of this lecture, as we got an opportunity to hear Captain Doug Leihbacher who will be speaking about: Chartering 101 - consideration when planning a sailing vacation and how to get the most out of it.</p> <p>Capt. Doug Leihbacher is a USCG licensed captain and ASA sailing instructor who has been sailing for 25+ years.  Due to an aversion to cold weather, he began setting up winter sailing vacations for his friends in the Caribbean 17 years ago and this eventually evolved into a small travel business.  Capt. Doug specialize in organizing and skippering instructional sailing vacations for individuals, families and groups.</p> <p><img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/3/f/c/event_208149212.jpeg" /></p> <p> </p> <p>Sailors NYC is the place for the NYC metro area sailors – adventurous, passionate avid individuals who are looking to excel and hone their sailing skills. We are preparing to set sail in a Hudson waterfront facility in the spring of 2013 and invite you to join or follow our successful and exciting venture!</p>

Well, that's kind of two things...Our group will live by the motto "A good time is all about who you share it with". I've been putting up our events in other Meetup groups for the past several months and have seen amazing turnouts with such great people, so now it just makes sense to create my own!</p> <p> </p> <p>We'll be organizing groups to do things like happy hours, trivia nights, visit museums, go to comedy shows, plan trolley crawls, wine tastings, tournaments, play in rec sports leagues and more! Does this sound like every other group on Meetup? Well it's definitely similar, but I'm really good at getting good deals for everyone and coming up with unique events that have recently been bringing out large groups of people that simply want to get out more and meet others. So if you're fresh in town (welcome!), are looking to make some new friends, and/or simply just want to spice things up and do something other than sitting in a bar with the same ol' folks, we're gonna be that spice.</p> <p> </p> <p>I also run S3 Leagues (s3leagues.com), which offers THE BEST coed rec sports leagues in the city. Sure I'm biased, but the sweet thing is they really are amazing. These leagues are exclusively for singles where everyone joins by themselves or with friends and we create teams by age and where you live, with post-game festivities at a near-by bar. Rather than a one time event, these leagues last 5-8 weeks and allow you to foster stronger relationships as you come together every week during the season. Being new to town myself 5 years ago, I made all my best friends by joining a coed softball team. I knew I could make it better, and now 4 years we've had 6,600 past players, tons of new friends made, couples formed, and several marriages! I've recently been putting together more events to give players more to do during and between seasons, and while the leagues are for singles, the events that we do have ALWAYS been open to EVERYONE! Sometimes the best friendships and sparks come from simply expanding your social circle and getting out more. This is our goal, and we're excited to see you at an event or league!</p> <p> </p> <p>Cheers, Ben</p>

10104350 1286828 <p>Learn how to enhance your martial arts by learning the proper way to activate the nervous system via pressure points.</p> <p>Kyusho is the study of the weaker anatomical structures of the human body. They are targets that are located on Nervous and Vascular (sometimes both) structures. Because these targets are affecting these systems, we are actually attacking the internal body as opposed to the external structure. The external body was designed by nature to take abuse, from strikes, falls, torn tissue, etc. What it isn't designed or adapted to is attacks on the internal structure and functions, precisely why Kyusho has such devastating and predictable effect.</p> <p>Learn - Study - Practice Pressure Point Activation</p> <p>If you are a Martial Artist this will enhance what you know.</p> <p>If you are not a Martial Artist it is a great way to protect yourself.</p> <p>Recognized By Kyusho International</p> <p>$30.00 for Kyusho International Members and $35.00 for Non-Members. <br /><br />You can sign up for membership before class if you like.</p> <p>This class covers one (of many) component of T.A.C.T.I.C.S.

10104383 423843 <p>Come see what Tuesday night at Dempsey's is all about and take in New York's longest-running open traditional Irish seisiun. What to expect? A classic, authentic Irish pub atmosphere, friendly bartenders, and a laidback, down-to-earth crowd by New York standards, on most nights anyway, plus good music from 8 p.m. until late.</p> <p>The seisiun starts with a round-robin format with every participant getting a chance to take the lead in playing or singing the song of their choice, then becomes more of a free-wheeling jam session as the night goes on. No special guests tonight, but a mix of advanced, intermediate and beginner level seisiun players, skillfully led by our own John Nevin. All musicians are welcome to bring their instruments and join in. Non-musicians are invited to listen, appreciate and enjoy the craic.</p> <p>Speaking of craic, there will be a Michael Collins whiskey promotion on this night, so whiskey drink tickets and swag will be handed out by the MC Girls.</p> <p>We'll meet in the bar area starting around 7, the music starts at 8. Hope to see you there!</p> <p>-Dennis</p> <p>Our goal is to gather together to support, promote, play and enjoy Irish and other forms of Celtic music in the greater New York City area. We welcome musicians who wish to play this music or learn how to play it as well as fans who wish to see live shows by artists in this genre. New York City has a rich Celtic music scene and we meet several times a month to see live bands play, including local, national and international acts. We also meet regularly for open traditional Irish seisiuns, including the Tuesday night seisiun at Dempsey's, the longest-running open seisiun in New York, providing an opportunity for musicians in our group to become more active in the seisiuns. Whether you're interested in Irish traditional music, sean nos songs, classic Irish or Scottish folk, Celtic rock and punk or any other form of Celtic music, whether you like to play the music or just like to watch and listen, you should join this active, friendly and fun group. We welcome assistant organizers to help us hold even more events.</p>

10104471 423843 <p>We're back at Dempsey's on this night to welcome the famous Sligo fiddler <a href="http://www.brianconway.com/">Brian Conway</a>, one of New York's greatest contributions to Irish music, as guest musician. Brian, a Bronx native, is a three-time All-Ireland fiddle champion and viewed by many as the best Irish-American fiddle player ever. He's been active on the Irish music scene in New York for over 30 years, recording several albums, both solo and in collaboration with other local musicians, and touring around the world. Countless other fiddle players, both here and abroad, have emulated him or been taught by him.</p> <p>The music starts at 8. Musicians are encouraged to bring their instruments and take advantage of this opportunity to play with Brian. It's not his first appearance at Dempsey's, and I'm sure it won't be his last, but it's going to be a very special evening just the same. Non-musicians are also welcome to take it all in and enjoy the good music that will result. We'll meet starting in the bar area around 7. Try to get there early, Dempsey's will likely fill up on this night, for both musicians and spectators.</p> <p>Hope to see you there.</p> <p>Our goal is to gather together to support, promote, play and enjoy Irish and other forms of Celtic music in the greater New York City area.

101044822 5648232 <p>How well do you know Hungarian traditions? And, more importantly, do you know any? Let's have a conversation on the topic.</p> <p>It is said that the Hungarian language is one of the most difficult to learn yet its beauty is beyond comparison. If you're looking for an opportunity to learn or practice, this group is for you. If you already speak it but looking to meet interesting people and make friends, this group is for you, too. Let's get together to learn Hungarian through conversations with native speakers and language enthusiasts.</p>

101046392 1644112 <p> For some people, it can be a little intimidating to go to a social dance school, so I want to offer to teach people the basics in a more low-key, stress free and fun way. You are welcome, of course, to bring a partner, but you don't have to. These lessons are for absolute beginners or people who have just learned and would like a little more practice and instruction.</p> <p>You can wear anything comfortable (mini skirt are not recommended) and low heal shoes. Please pay by 7pm on January 24th. It's very easy process. If we have less than 4 students, we have to cancel the class, sorry. In that case I will let you know a day before and we will refund you for full amount. If the class wouldn't be canceled, the payment deadline would be by 7 pm on 25th.</p> <p>Thank you so much for your cooperation.</p> <p>Hope to see you soon in the class!</p> <p>Akiko</p> <p>Learn to Swing! Anyone can learn swing/lindy hop, and after a few classes, you'll be swinging, too. This entry-level class is open to anyone regardless of experience, and you don't need to come with a partner (but if you have one, by all means bring him/her). You'll learn the footwork and moves, and you'll also improve your comfort level and skill at partnering and communicating with others. You may not even notice you're exercising as the music swings you.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
10104644 22211 <p>Have you ever said, "Wow, I am so tired of playing Old Maid and Go Fish with my friends...how I wish there was an alternative?"</p> <p>Well now there is!</p> <p>Join the Mafia and take hits out on people... become a king, thief, or even a magician.....heroically bang down doors and fight monsters while standing at an alarming 3 foot tall.....kill bunnies with nuclear weapons.....it's all possible here!</p> <p>Oh, and there's cake! Most likely chocolate. It's not a bribe, I swear.</p> <p>We like to teach new people, and hopefully they won't run away! : )</p> <p>The Chicagoland area's premiere and largest gamer group. Events include board games, card games, party games, and more, and are held throughout the city and suburbs in game stores, bars, and other locales. Come join us for a great time.</p>
10104733 136329 <p>Our regular monthly dinner gathering in Manhattan.</p> <p>Informal get-together for Satanists, Luciferians, "Dark" Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" occultists of all law-abiding kinds, plus open-minded people interested in learning about the many forms of Satanism, Luciferianism, "Dark" Paganism, and LHP occultism. (The organizer is a non-LaVeyan theistic Satanist.)</p> <p>We meet at a diner, conveniently located in Manhattan, near lots of subways and only a 10-minute walk from Penn Station. (Name and exact location further down on this page.) It's on 23rd Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, closer to 7th. The nearest subway stop is 23rd Street on the 1, 2, and 3 lines (7th Avenue). Other nearby subway stops are 23rd Street on the F line (6th Avenue), and 23 Street on the E and C lines (8th Avenue).</p> <p>We'll be meeting at a table in the BACK of the diner. Please ask a waiter about "Diane Vera's meetup." At least one or two of us, though probably not most of us, will be wearing black shirts and/or point-down pentagram pendants of some kind. (If you arrive early and are the first to arrive, please have a seat in the BACK of the diner and let the waiter know that you are here for "Diane Vera's meetup.")</p> <p>Newcomers are welcome. Diane Vera, the organizer, will make a point of welcoming all who arrive and encouraging all attendees to tell the rest of us a bit about themselves and their beliefs, to facilitate conversation. Although our meetings are informal, we do aim to have substantive conversation about our beliefs and practices, rather than just random chit chat.</p> <p>Note: The diner where we're meeting now charges a $5 per person mininum.</p> <p>Please RSVP as soon as you can, with at least a "maybe" if you can't yet say "yes" or "no." The more people RSVP early, the bigger and better our meetups will be, because a reasonably large number of early RSVP's will let other visitors to this site know that we are indeed a live group where they will actually meet some people.</p> <p>If you RSVP "maybe," we would appreciate it very much if you could then change your RSVP to a "yes" or "no" by no later than at least a few days before the event, so that we can have a better idea how big a table to reserve. DV will be calling the diner to reserve a table two or three days before the event.</p> <p>As we grow bigger, we may eventually begin holding more formal meetings with specific topics for discussion, in addition to the informal social gatherings we are holding now.</p> <p>As our group continues to grow, hopefully some of us can eventually organize congregations that get together for rituals. DV would like to form a local congregation of the <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/">Church of Azazel</a>. Others may wish to form groups centered around other paradigms.</p> <p>Diane Vera, the organizer, is a non-LaVeyan theiistic Satanist. She maintains <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/">a website on theistic Satanism</a>, including the page <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/nyc/">Attention, New Yorkers! (for theistic Satanists in and near New York City)</a>.</p> <p>The NYC Satanists/LHP Discussion Group, also known as New York City Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" Occultists, is one of only a very few Satanist/LHP groups in the entire world that hold regular meetings open to the general public.  We are the oldest such group (founded in 2003) and the easiest way to meet Satanists, LHPers, etc. in NYC.</p> <p>We hold open discussion meetings and informal social gatherings in Manhattan.  We welcome Satanists, Luciferians, "dark" Pagans, and "Left Hand Path" occultists of all law-abiding kinds, theistic or nontheistic.  We also welcome open-minded people interested in learning about the various forms of Satanism, Luciferianism, "Dark" Paganism, and "Left Hand Path" occultism.</p> <p>Our founder, Diane Vera, is a non-LaVeyan theistic ("traditional") Satanist.  She has a <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/" target="_blank">website on theistic Satanism</a>, including a <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/nyc/" target="_blank">page for theistic Satanists in or near New York City</a>, and aims also to build a <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/local/nyc.html" target="_blank">New York City proto-congregation</a> of the <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/" target="_blank">Church of Azazel</a>.  However, this Meetup group (NYC Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists) is NOT just for prospective Church of Azazel members, and not just for theistic Satanists, but aims to welcome all kinds of Satanists, Luciferians, dark Pagans, and Left Hand Path occultists on an equal basis.

10104864 419600 <p>First open meeting of the revived Church of Azazel proto-congregation in New York City. Our first meeting will be devoted to a discussion about the Church of Azazel paradigm and our thoughts on the kinds of rituals we will be doing in the future.</p> <p>There now, finally, seem to be enough New Yorkers with a strong enough interest in the Church of Azazel paradigm to begin holding regular Church of Azazel meetings, separate from those of <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/">New York City Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists</a> (which members of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation are urged to continue attending as well).</p> <p>For now, our publicly-announced meetings will be dinner meetings at diners in Manhattan and Queens. We will also hold more private meetings (not announced on this site). Our rituals, at least for now, will be private.</p> <p>The meeting is at a diner, conveniently located near many subways. (Name and exact location further down on this page.) It's on 23rd Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, closer to 7th. The nearest subway stop is 23rd Street on the 1, 2, and 3 lines (7th Avenue). Other nearby subway stops are 23rd Street on the F line (6th Avenue), and 23 Street on the E and C lines (8th Avenue).</p> <p>We'll be meeting at a table in the BACK of the diner. Please ask a waiter about "Diane Vera's meetup." At least one or two of us, though probably not most of us, will be wearing black shirts and/or point-down pentagram pendants of some kind. (If you arrive early and are the first to arrive, please have a seat in the BACK of the diner and let the waiter know that you are here for "Diane Vera's meetup.")</p> <p>Newcomers are welcome. Diane Vera, the organizer, will make a point of welcoming all who arrive and encouraging all attendees to tell the rest of us a bit about themselves and their beliefs, to facilitate conversation.</p> <p>Note: The diner where we're meeting now charges a $5 per person mininum.</p> <p>Please RSVP as soon as you can, with at least a "maybe" if you can't yet say "yes" or "no." The more people RSVP early, the bigger and better our meetups will be, because a reasonably large number of early RSVP's will let other visitors to this site know that we are indeed a live group where they will actually meet some people.</p> <p>If you RSVP "maybe," we would appreciate it very much if you could then change your RSVP to a "yes" or "no" by no later than at least a few days before the event, so that we can have a better idea how big a table to reserve. DV will be calling the diner to reserve a table two or three days before the event.</p> <p>The Church of Azazel proto-congregation is focused on a specific polytheistic Satanist paradigm developed by Diane Vera, who is also the author of a well-known <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/">website on theistic Satanism</a> and founder of the NYC Satanists/LHP discussion group, a.k.a. <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/">NYC Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists</a>.</p> <p>Those for whom the Church of Azazel is intended are only a small minority among Satanists, especially here in NYC.  (On the other hand, the NYC Satanists/LHP discussion group welcomes Satanists, Luciferians, etc. of many different kinds, both theistic and atheistic, on an equal basis, excluding only those who practice or advocate violent criminal activity in the name of Satan or Satanism.)</p> <p>The Church of Azazel proto-congregation is intended primarily for those polytheistic Satanists who: (1) strongly oppose the religious right wing and have a strong desire to do something about it, on some level (e.g. political, artistic, literary, counter-evangelistic, or whatever), in at least some small way, and/or (2) have a strong desire to defend, or better yet to advance, at least one of the more desirable aspects of the modern world that are seen as "Satanic" by the more authoritarian, fundamentalist, and traditionalist sectors of the major religions.  The Church of Azazel will not be, itself, an activist group, but aims to develop forms of spirituality that can strengthen people who, in one way or another, desire to promote societal progress.</p> <p>For a brief introduction to the aims of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation, please see <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Church-of-Azazel-NYC/about/">our "About" page</a>.</p> <p>Prospective members of the Church of Azazel proto-congregration are asked to get to know us by attending meetings of <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/">the NYC Satanists/LHP discussion group</a> and/or meetings of at least one of the <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/code/risingGodGroups.html">larger independent local groups</a> devoted to one of the five <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/belief/risingGods.html">Rising Gods</a> (Lilith, Prometheus, Ishtar, Pan, and Lucifer-of-Sophia), as well as <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Church-of-Azazel-NYC/">open meetings of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation itself</a> and/or at least one of the Church of Azazel's <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/code/risingGodGroups.html">Cabals</a>. Meetings of all these groups will be announced in "Upcoming events" emails from the Church of Azazel proto-congregation. Once you join this Meetup group, please make sure you are subscribed to "Organizer broadcasts."</p> <p>Please study the <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/">Church of Azazel website</a> before you begin attending meetings of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation or its Cabals.</p> <p>Prospective members are also encouraged to participate on our <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Church-of-Azazel-NYC/messages/boards/">Meetup message board</a>, again after first spending some time studying the Church of Azazel website.</p> <p>If you're interested in joining us, it would be nice if you could also fill out your profile here on this group's Meetup site, as a further way of introducing yourself to us. You don't need to use your legal name or use a real picture of yourself, but please do tell us a little about your perspective on Satanism, your religious background, and your worldview in general.</p>
10104877 1409890 <p>you must RSVP for the main meeting at IBM and we will have the SIG at TGIF afterwards. I'll be doing a presentation at the main NYPHP meeting about the best PHP stack for Zend Framework development showcasing the new Zend Server. It's May - the best month of the year! Thankfully, Spring has returned with the birds and bees, and there's no better time for a relaxing cruise. Our driver, and Zend Solution Consultant Ed Kieltinski, will pop the hood of the all new fuel-efficient Zend Server and take us for a spin in Zend's latest model. We'll take an exploration of the complete Zend software stack and how to optimize your efforts with PHP applications. Open source example applications like MagentoCommerce, OSCommerce, Joomla, Sugarcrm, Drupal, will be used to showcase how to tackle common and complex problems. Both the opensource Zend stack and the advanced Professional Edition solutions will be shown to address poor performance, troubleshooting problems, identifying bottlenecks, slow databases, integrating PHP into Java, and improving MVC Zend Framework apps. Zend Server CE/PE, PDT/Studio, and Zend Framework will also be looked at. Thank you to IBM for providing a great presentation space in Midtown Manhattan. As a service to our community, New York PHP Community meetings are always free and open to the public. Come prepared with a business card to enter book and software raffles. When: Tuesday, May 26th at 6:30pm sharp Where: IBM 590 Madison Avenue, Room 1219 (12th Floor) [ map ] RSVP: <a href="http://www.nyphp.org/content/calendar/view_entry.php?id=138&amp;date=20090526'"> You must RSVP Online to get into IBM meeting</a></p> <p>Zend Framework is a lot more then code. It's a community. ZF has millions of developers and a large vibrant contributor community, this meetup is a SIG of the NYPHP user group supporting these developers. We'll try to find interesting speakers to talk about ZF and other relevant topics. Members will also be encouraged to present applications that they've built with Zend Framework and share interesting challenges and their solutions with the rest of the meetup group.<br> <br> More info about http://framework.zend.com</p>

10105101 1171134 <p>This will be a time of deep sharing in a field of awakened wholeness.</p> <p>We'll partake of silent meditation, mutual gazing, and conscious conversation in a compassionate setting that facilitates trust and bio-spiritual healing.</p> <p>2 to 5:30 pm</p> <p>"Waking up" is associated with getting enlightened or free by rising out of imprisonment in your karma, body-mind, and relationships.</p> <p>"Waking down" differs from waking up out of life.</p> <p>Saniel Bonder is the founder of the Waking Down in Mutuality work. He and his wife, Linda, are founding members of Ken Wilber's Integral Institute and charter members of the Integral Spiritual Center.</p> <p>This Meetup is for other locals to discuss and practice mutuality. Our work is to practice radical acceptance in the moment, bringing compassion and kindness to each other where there used to be pressure to change or be different. In this climate of safety, deep healing and transformation will occur organically through the wisdom of Being and according to each person?s own right timing.</p> <p>All are welcome. You may have an extensive spiritual history, or little, or none. You may feel hunger, dissatisfaction, pain, or futility.</p> <p>Come to a Waking Down in Mutuality Meetup and give yourself the chance to steep in a sacred space dedicated entirely to the deepening recognition of all that we are.</p>

It gave birth not only to deists and freethinkers, but also to democratic ideals and the scientific method.<br> <br> Perhaps most important was David Hume's idea that mankind's next project as a civilization should be to found a "science of human nature" -- a body of concepts that would help us distinguish between the fixed characteristics of human nature and those flexible dimensions in which individuals develop unique qualities. If we had such a science, we could stop fighting our nature and focus on developing those assets our nature is designed to acquire -- things like truth and right, knowledge and ability, insights and skills.<br> <br> Come join a small group of men and women who meet every month in Manhattan to discuss books and other media that relate broadly to themes of intellectual liberation and social progress, and more specifically to the question "Who are we and what are we capable of?"</p> <p>In addition to books, we'll read shorter works like essays, speeches, anthologies split up into two or more sessions, and works that our members have written. Also, our scope will be considerably wider than just the philosophical discoveries of the 18th-century. Whatever our members want to read will be considered objectively and voted on democratically.

10105380 290285 <p>Spring is here, and summer projects are tempting us all. What are your crochet plans for warmer weather? Come share your projects, as we chat and work a few rows together.</p> <p>We meet on the second floor at the Y, in the computer room at the top of the stairs. Allow plenty of time to find a parking space: the Y is a busy facility and the parking lot is small. If you park on the street, be sure to obey all posted regulations.</p> <p>We ask everyone to chip in $1 at each MeetUp, to help cover the fees we pay to MeetUp.com, and to purchase things like colors cards, a swift, and a ball winder. If you're short, don't worry, you can pay another time. If you're new to the group, you're first MeetUp is free!</p> Meet fellow Crocheters near you! I'm combining the Crochet and Knitting groups into one big group to meet together 2x a month. We have both knitters and crocheters in our group. Get your yarn on and come have fun!
10105421 461585 <p>For our May discssion we will chat about The Time Traveler's Wife. Here is the summary from amazon.com:</p> <p>From Booklist<br/>On the surface, Henry and Clare Detamble are a normal couple living in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. Henry works at the Newberry Library and Clare creates abstract paper art, but the cruel reality is that Henry is a prisoner of time. It sweeps him back and forth at its leisure, from the present to the past, with no regard for where he is or what he is doing. It drops him naked and vulnerable into another decade, wearing an age-appropriate face. In fact, it's not unusual for Henry to run into the other Henry and help him out of a jam. Sound unusual? Imagine Clare Detamble's astonishment at seeing Henry dropped stark naked into her parents' meadow when she was only six. Though, of course, until she came of age, Henry was always the perfect gentleman and gave young Clare nothing but his friendship as he dropped in and out of her life. It's no wonder that the film rights to this hip and urban love story have been acquired. Elsa Gaztambide</p> Sick of Baby Einstein? Looking for a little bit of adult conversation? Enjoy reading? Then this Meetup group is for you. I am a former high school English teacher who has decided to leave the school classroom for a bit to stay home. I enjoy being home, but I found I really missed talking about books with people. That was the initial impetus for starting the group. I also needed to read something more advanced than Dr. Seuss to ward off brain atrophy (ha ha). We read everything from fiction to non-fiction and from classics to items on the New York Times Best Seller List. The group meets once a month (usually the second Wednesday of the month barring any holidays) at a local book store. Despite the title of the group, it is not exclusive to mothers.

Even though the resorts near Chicago never break the top 100 places to board in US, we're just glad the winter is cold and long.  We are a fun group of shredders, ranging from beginners to national competitors so you'll always be able to find someone to shred with.  Membership is free but the meetup site does cost money so we do encourage members to show support by purchasing WCB bandanas, stickers or shirts.</p> <p>You may also be wondering what we'll be doing off season. Well, some of us get together to longboard, inline skate, bike, play beach vball, and most importantly PARTY!! Everyone's welcome! (even skiers!)</p> <p>If you are looking for some Gear check out<br> http://windycityboarders.spreadshirt.com/</p> <p>MEETUP Guidelines</p> <p>1. Please use your real name. If worried about privacy or whatever, use only your first name because some stores ask for the list of the members for special benefits.</p> <p>2. We also have a facebook group and facebook page if you have a facebook account.  Search for "Windy City Boarders".  Discussions/Conversations are much more active on Facebook, however all the official meetups will still be scheduled on meetup.com.</p> <p>3.

In this part of rural Jamaica, Anthony B was immersed in the thunderous chants and rhythms of Revivalism and the Seventh Day Adventist church where he honed his soon-to-be signature vocals. In his formative years, the artiste also cleaved to the music of Otis Redding and the incomparable Peter Tosh.</p> <p><img src="http://www.anthonybmusic.net/images/bio_1.png" /> In 1992, <b>Anthony B</b> left his home-town and set out to make his fateful mark on Kingston's music scene. He rebuked the trend of girl and gun lyrics popular at that time and remained faithful to words of spiritual consciousness and social conviction. He started working with singer Little Devon, who introduced him to Richard "Bell" Bello, of Star Trail Records, producer for Garnet Silk and Everton Blender. Bell saw the talent of the youngster and shared his commitment to conscious music. The partnership produced a slew of records and releases, such as "Repentance time", "Fire pon Rome", "One Thing", "A De Man", "Rumour" and "Raid di Barn". Anthony B followed up with critically acclaimed albums such as " Real Revolutionary", "Universal Struggle", "7 Seals", "Black Star" and "Untouchable". He also struck out on his own to start his own label, Born Fire Records in 2002. He produced 3 albums independently; Street Knowledge, That's Life and Life Over Death. In addition he released two collaboration albums "Too Strong" with Sizzla and "Three Wise Men" with Sizzla and Luciano.</p> <p><b>Anthony B's</b> lyrical genius and his captivating, energetic performance style have caused him to be heavily requested for performances in the Caribbean, North America, Europe and Africa. Anthony B personally rates his performance in 1999 at the Montrose Jazz Festival as a monumental event in his career. In 2003 and 2004, he was given a King's welcome in Gambia and Senegal. In 2004, he sold out shows in Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Belgium, France, Italy and Germany; closing for such greats as Israel Vibration and Burning Spear. He also opened up new regions for reggae music through his performances in New Dehli, India, Czech Republic, Iceland, Argentina, Venezuela and on France's Reunion Island, in the Indian Ocean. His heavy touring schedule has not slowed Anthony B's stream of releases. Over the years, he has collaborated with Bone Crusher, Akon, Wyclef Jean, Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Martina, an on his latest album, Toots.</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/6/5/a/event_198346682.jpeg" /></p> <p> <b>Anthony B's</b> rich vocals and audacious lyrics carry a depth and substance which is rare in the industry. Internationally, his fan-base has grown because he speaks about the universal concerns of suffering and salvation. "The greatest thing about reggae music is that it's about concepts and ideas," says the artiste, "you are speaking to people on issues they live and can relate to."</p> <p><b>Anthony B's</b> latest hit singles include "Sleeping In the Rain", "Satisfaction", "Bad From Long Time", and "Teaser" and come from his highly-anticipated 13th album, "Life Over Death". In January 2009, Anthony is set to release yet another album with Greensleeves Records. The album, "Rise" produced by Frenchy Maximum Sound, continues Anthony's legacy as he proves himself to be one of Reggae's most prolific and engaging artistes, an electrifying performer whose music grips the public social conscience.</p> <p><i><b>Courtesy <a href="http://www.anthonybmusic.net/" class="linkified">http://www.anthonybmusic.net/</a></b></i></p> <p style="text-align : center"><span style="font-size : large"><strong><span style="color : #ff0000">Live Reggae NYC the #1 and</span></strong></span></p> <p style="text-align : center"><span style="color : #ff0000 ; font-size : large"><strong><span style="color : #ff0000">fastest growing Reggae Meetup in the NYC area!</span></strong></span></p> <p style="text-align : justify">There are excellent Reggae events happening all around NYC tri-state area and we know how to find them!

We will discuss various strategies and techniques for growing food in small spaces on rooftops, balconies and porches.

We will also go over what types of plants that should and should not be grown on rooftops and will attempt to answer any questions you may have about rooftops or Permaculture. The workshop will be conducted in English with Spanish translation.</p> <p>COST: Free to attend. 5 dollar donation appreciated.</p> <p>Malcolm Rowe's number: [masked]</p> <p>Meet other local people who support Permaculture design for sustainable human existence, and with a firm conviction to save humanity.</p>

10105906 1425341 (null) <p>Explore a humanist community of freethinking people who focus on personal growth, social progress and compassionate relationships.</p> <p>Maybe you're one of those people who sits in a church pew on Sundays thinking to themselves, "I don't believe this anymore." Or perhaps you've checked out of the dogma arguments altogether, avoid church or temple and just to try living a good, decent life. Or perhaps you’ve been living your own spirituality or philosophy, centered on this life and this world.</p> <p>If any of those sound like you, we should meet! We're the Brooklyn Ethical Society, a community of individuals and families united by a belief in human worth. Founded in the 19th Century, Ethical Societies believe that bringing out the best in others brings out the best in themselves as well. We also believe in science, reason, humanity, and you.  We don't focus on an afterlife or Final Judgment: our duty is to the living, and to the future generations who will follow us.</p> <p>We are a community of communities, with members from different traditions, backgrounds, races, family configurations and sexual orientations.</p> <p>The Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture meets <span><span>on Sunday</span></span> at <span><span>11:00 a.m.</span></span> from September to June.  Do you have children?  We also have an Ethics for Children program, for toddlers through teens, from <span><span>10:45 a.m.</span></span> on those same Sundays.  We are at 53 Prospect Park West, in Park Slope, across from the park.

101059212 483472 <p>Green Renovations The Mountain Lakes Green Team is sponsoring an information evening Wednesday, February 13th at 6:30 PM in the High School Media Center. The documentary – The Greenest Building – focuses on renovation as the most effective aspect of a green building. After the film, Jill Gotthelf AIA FAPT a long time Mountain Lakes resident, and Walter Sedovic FAIA LEED will talk about green renovations, and answer the audience’s questions.</p> <p>“The Greenest Building” opens our eyes to buildings as a consumer product, realizing the rich history and sense of place they offer. The film shows how demolition has a tremendous environmental impact and how renovation leaves us with a much more valuable end product.</p> <p>Jill Gotthelf, a Principal at Walter Sedovic Architects, embraces a holistic view of sustainability, pushing beyond the limits of the traditional definition to establish a balance between economics, environment, social and cultural equity, authenticity, and education. Walter Sedovic is a sought-after speaker nationally and internationally on the subject of Sustainability and Preservation. His firm has won virtually every national preservation award. Walter Sedovic Architects was created to work solely with historic buildings and within historic settings. Landmarks—even in the midst of change—can remain true to their time while adapting to new needs and uses.</p> <p>This is one of a series of free Environmental Film Screenings put on by The Mountain Lakes Green Team. For more information contact Marnie Vyff at[masked] or <a href="mailto:[masked]">[masked]</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p>Community Green is committed to working with the green communities of New Jersey on projects and events that will provide access to empowerment in global and local environmental issues.

101066872 3010012 <p>I try to see these every year. Lots of fun. I don't have times yet. The theater will not be announcing times until Jan 28. They start February 1 and will run at least a week maybe even as long as a month. It can get a bit pricey because you have to get a ticket for both the live action and the animated shorts. But you can also choose to see one or the other. We will try to do both in the afternoon but I will update this meetup as soon as I get the times.</p> <p>Ok. Here is the update. The Oscar shorts are short films running from 10 min long to maybe 30. There are two categories. Live action (like a normal movie but short) and animated. I am not sure how many they show in each category but the live action totals about 2 hours and the animated about 90 minutes. So here is the plan. We will see the live action at 3:30 on Saturday. They will run until about 5:30. And then we will find dinner somewhere and return for the animated at 7:30. You can join me for one or both. The cost is 11 dollars for each. Unless you are 62 or over. just let me know if you are going to both or just one. I will update the restaurant later in case people want to join us for dinner. Any questions just post or email me. Thanks.</p> <p>A movie group. We will attend a movie twice a month at the Davis Theater in Lincoln Square and disscuss it over a bite to eat at one of the many nearby pubs and restaurants.

Their technology is used to analyze various sources of unstructured data to uncover hidden patterns and help solve problems for patients, providers, payers and others in the healthcare ecosystem.</p> <p><b>Clifford Jones</b><br/><b>Allazo Health</b> is an analytics firm that solves the $300B problem of medication non-adherence for health insurers, PBMs, ACOs, and integrated delivery networks. Our AllazoEngine leverages existing member data to both anticipate which patients will not take their medication and to predict the most effective way to influence each of those patients to take their medication.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>Before and after the presentations:</b></p> <p>We will be holding an informal networking session before and after the talks.  This will be a great time to discuss and compare notes on healthcare data structure and analysis.</p> <p> </p> <p>We are healthcare data scientists, developers, and analysts. We pull insight out of healthcare data whether that is medical claims, pharmacy claims, EMR data, lab data, clinical studies, genomic data, or anything else.

Here at Aging 2.0 we’ve been thinking about the 30 million Americans who are 50+ are single (17 M. of those are over 65*).</p> <p>The baby boomers are the generation who pioneered the social acceptance of divorce, and with that, being a single older adult. In addition, they enjoyed free love in their youth, which isn't the same post Viagra and post HIV/AIDS. The business of Dating 2.0, which has focused primarily on 20-somethings has now grown to be a big market for older adults as well. But, like many products and services, online dating is not the same for this market as it is for the millennials.</p> <p>This event is an exploration of the challenges, opportunities and new approaches for singles looking for love after 50.</p> <p>We’ve invited experts from the fields of psychology, health and online dating services to help us navigate the subject.</p> <p>You must RSVP here on Eventbrite, not on this page:</p> <p><a href="http://a2nyfeb2013-es2003.eventbrite.com/" class="linkified">http://a2nyfeb2013-es2003.eventbrite.com/</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>This group is for people interested in new technologies, startups and disruptive business innovations in the field of longevity / aging.

10107055 19875 <p>From the CowaLUNGa website...</p> <p><i>"CowaLUNGa is a three-day bike tour (with a one-day and a two-day option) held Saturday, August 1 – Monday, August 3, 2009. The ride starts at the Gurnee Mills Shopping Mall and travels into Wisconsin with overnight stops in William's Bay and Whitewater. One-day riders finish the day with dinner in William's Bay and return to Gurnee on Saturday night. Two-day riders finish the ride with dinner in Whitewater and return to Gurnee Sunday night. If you're staying all three days, your journey continues on Monday with a celebration at the finish line in Hubertus, Wisconsin at Camp Minikani.</p> <p>The one-day tour is approximately 65 miles.</p> <p>The two-day tour is approximately 130 miles.</p> <p>The three-day tour is approximately 190 miles.</p> <p>We ride for a reason. All proceeds from the CowaLUNGa Bike Tour benefit our mission — to promote healthy lungs and fight lung disease through research, advocacy, and education.."<br/></i><br/>I did this ride the last two years. It was a great time and I made some great new friends (I expect to see you registered for this...you should know who you are...). I think the others enjoyed the ride too.</p> <p>For those that might be intimidated by hills, I plan to do a "Hills Clininc" earlier in the season. Also, if you register early enough, CowaLUNGa has a few training rides prior to the event.</p> <p>Registration is $25 for one day, $130 for two days, and $155 for all three days. This is a one way ride, so if you need a ride back, they do provide a bus for an additional $25.00. The costs cover breakfast and dinner each day and dorm rooms for each night (which is why the cost jumps so much for the second day). There are rest stops, but you have to provide your own lunch each day (there are plenty of places to stop along the way). In order to ride, you also need to get sponsors to donate to the organization. Again, when those amounts are posted I will update them. The registration cost includes breakfast, dinner, rest stops, and accommodations for those riding more than one day. They provide professional movers to transport your bike and gear for you. Gurnee Mills sponsors the event and sets aside a section of Parking Lot G for us to leave our cars.</p> <p>If you are going to participate in this event, YOU MUST REGISTER HERE AND AT THE COWALUNGA WEBSITE!!!! They also make it easy to do all of your fundraising through the website. For any questions feel free to contact me or check out the CowaLUNGa website.</p> <p><a href="http://www.cowalunga.com/index.html"><a href="http://www.cowalunga" class="linkified">http://www.cowalunga</a>....</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align : center"><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/1/6/e/event_20600846.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px"></img></p> <p>Casual Rides for fun all over the Chicagoland area.

10107056 1282709 <p>The first meetup was a great start, and a clear demonstration of the potential energy around open government in NYC. Now we have to figure out how to grow this movement.</p> <p>This second meeting will be a structured and moderated discussion about the future of the meetup, and will include discussions about current projects that our members are working on (so it won't all be meta-talk).</p> <p>Here is a summary of the proposed agenda:<br/>1. Ground rules for the discussion<br/>2. Presenting projects, mapping needs and resources<br/>3. The future of the meeup<br/>4. Next steps, assigning responsibilities</p> <p>You can read/comment on/edit the full agenda at our <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/open-government-nyc/web/4-6-meetup---proposed-agenda">google group</a>.</p> <p>Discussion will begin promptly at 7:00 pm. All are welcome to attend the organizers pre-meeting from 6-7pm, at which we will work out the discussion ground rules and other mechanics of facilitation.</p> <p>Finally, there will be a *highly-recommended donation* of $5 per person to New Work City, for use of the space.

101070832 1277267 <p>It's been a bit. Let's get get together and continue our quest to save people, get loot, and stop baddies!</p> <p>We are a gaming group in Central NJ that mainly runs 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons. We run games out of both shops and local homes, wherever D&amp;D wants to be played. Our new campaign just started October 2008; travel to magical worlds and adventure with us!</p> <p>New players are definitely welcome. In fact they are encouraged- all new players receive a free mini just for showing up to their first game! We will help you make a character and teach you how to play if you are unfamiliar with 4th edition. Our current campaign setting is the Forgotten Realms for those that remember it!</p> <p>This group is organized by a Hasbro product rep who also runs non-D&amp;D events at local stores. We occasionally run events for D&amp;D Minis, Star Wars Minis, Axis &amp; Allies Minis, Avalon Hill Board Games and Heroscape (and even Magic: The Gathering once in a while). Most events have prize support! Come have fun with some roleplaying, some D&amp;D and some gaming goodness.</p> <p>We use Meetup.com for our event calendar- but check out our other social network pages on Wizards.com:</p> <p>Calendar: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/njgamers/calendar/"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/njgamers/calendar/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/njgamers/calendar/</a></p> <p>News and Game Status: <a href="http://twitter.com/njgamers/"></a><a href="http://twitter.com/njgamers/" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/njgamers/</a></p> <p>Blog: <a href="http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/blog/"></a><a href="http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/blog/" target="_blank">http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/blog/</a></p> <p>Wiki: <a href="http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/wiki/"></a><a href="http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/wiki/" target="_blank">http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/wiki/</a></p> <p>Forums: <a href="http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/forum/"></a><a href="http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/forum/" target="_blank">http://community.wizards.com/njgamers/forum/</a></p>

10107100 1034045 <p><b>WE WILL MEET AT CHAMPIONS BAR 6156 N CLARK ST AT 7:00p FOR A PRESHOW MEET AND GREET AND HEAD OVER TO THE THEATER ABOUT 7:30p.</p> <p>HEDDA GABLER</b><br/>by Henrik Ibsen, adapted by Jon Robin Baitz<br/>directed by Michael Menendian<br/>Preview Performance: May 2, 2009 at 8:00pm</p> <p>Ibsen's tragic, complex study of one of the most compelling and contradictory women in dramatic literature comes to the stage in an electrifying new interpretation by Michael Menendian.</p> <p>Ibsen’s masterpiece depicts a woman’s inevitable road to tragedy. Hedda has recently married a kind and reliable yet unexciting scholar. She is visited by two old acquaintances: a female schoolmate and another scholar. The former has saved the latter from an unsavory lifestyle, helping him find success as a writer; Hedda is resentful both of his talent and her schoolmate’s influence on it. Out of jealousy and boredom, she proceeds to destroy each of the people around her, and finally herself. Is Hedda a heroine, a villain, a victim… or all of the above?</p> <p><b>GENERAL ADMISSION SEATING.<br/>NO ASSIGNED SEATING SO WE WILL SIT TOGETHER AS A GROUP. </b></p> <p><b>YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PURCHASING YOUR OWN TICKET. </b></p> <p><b>Tickets: $15.00 </b><br/><a href="https://www.ticketturtle.com/index.php?theatre=raven?theatre=raven?theatre=raven"><a href="https://www.ticketturtle.com/index.php?theatre=raven?theatre=raven?theatre=raven" class="linkified">https://www.ticketturtle.com/index.php?theatre=raven?theatre=raven?theatre=raven</a></a></p> <p><b>HOTTIX DISCOUNTED TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE<br/>$7.50 at Outlets<br/>$13.25 Online through Ticketmaster ($7.50 + $5.75 Service Charges)</b><br/><a href="http://www.hottix.org/"><a href="http://www.hottix.org/" class="linkified">http://www.hottix.org/</a></a></p> <p>Raven Theatre<br/><a href="http://www.raventheatre.com/index.shtml">&lt;a href="http://www.raventheatre.com" target="_blank"&gt;<a href="http://www.raventheat" class="linkified">http://www.raventheat</a>...</a>&lt;/a&gt;</p> <p>PHONE &amp; FAX NUMBERS:<br/>Box Office &amp; General Info:[masked]<br/>Fax:[masked]</p> <p>ADDRESS:<br/>6157 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60660</p> <p>LOCATION &amp; DIRECTIONS:<br/>The theatre is located at 6157 North Clark Street, on the corner of Clark and Granville. 15 minutes from the Eden's Expressway (Peterson exit east) and 5 minutes from the north end of Lake Shore Drive.</p> <p>PARKING:<br/>Free parking is available in their lot.

Please bear in mind, while "free" is easy, "cheap" is relative.<br> <br> Try to keep things inexpensive- if it's an item where there's a discount, a 50% discount is really sweet, but not if the cost is still something like $30. And don't just dump every little promotion you can think of here; that could go crazy. Use your good judgment, and let's find some terrific events to go to.</p>

10107344 349090 <p>Peter Woit is a mathematician and physicist who will discuss string theory and why it is controversial, as well as prospects for new experiments and a better understanding of the mathematical theories used to describe the physical world.</p> <p>Woit, who specializes in theoretical particle physics and the use of mathematics to address fundamental issues in physics, is the author of the 2007 book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0465092756">"Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory &amp; the Continuing Challenge to Unify the Laws of Physics."</a></p> <p>Since 2004 he has run the blog <a href="http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/">"Not Even Wrong,"</a> which deals with news about current topics in mathematics and particle physics research, and has become a focal point for the controversy surrounding string theory.</p> <p>Woit earned his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Princeton University in 1985, worked as a postdoc at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) in Berkeley, and is now a Senior Lecturer in the mathematics department at Columbia University.</p> <p>To get there:</p> <p>-- 2 or 3 to Grand Army Plaza, then walk south down Plaza Street West, cross Union Street and continue to head south down Prospect Park West until 1st Street; BSEC is on your right hand side.<br/>-- B or Q to 7th avenue, then walk down Flatbush Avenue to Plaza Street West; follow 2/3 directions from there.<br/>-- F to 7th avenue stop; this lets you out at 9th street, so walk over to Prospect Park West, then head north to BSEC.<br/>-- Also, any number of trains can be taken to Atlantic Avenue, like the 4 or 5, where you can switch to the 2 or 3.</p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/3/f/c/event_279249212.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left">Calling all Atheists, Agnostics, FreeThinkers, Humanists, Secularists, Brights, Skeptics, Philosophers, and those who are questioning religion.<br> <br> Gotham Atheists is about secular, science, and social human interactions.<br> Being secular in your approach to life, science minded in your decision making and know we are social humans for a kind, easy going, and helpful group that you want to belong to.<br> <br> With your effort in joining Gotham Atheists you can say your helping push society a little more to a secular world.

10107364 419600 <p>Second public meeting of the revived Church of Azazel proto-congregation in New York City. Topic to be announced sometime in July.</p> <p>There now, finally, seem to be enough New Yorkers with a strong enough interest in the Church of Azazel paradigm to begin holding regular Church of Azazel meetings, separate from those of <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/">New York City Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists</a> (which members of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation are urged to continue attending as well).</p> <p>Meeting will alternate between Manhattan and Queens locations, both of which are easily accessible by subway and other public transportation.</p> <p>This meeting will be at a diner in Forest Hills, on Queens Boulevard, near the 71st and Continental Avenue subway station on the E, F, G, and R subway lines. Nearby bus lines include the Q60 and the Q64. We are also near the Forest Hills station on several Long Island Railroad Lines. (From the LIRR station, ask for directions to the subway. We're right next to one of the subway entrances.)</p> <p>Ask a waiter for "Diane Vera's meetup." We will probably be in the FRONT section of the diner (where the tables are). Look for a group of people of whom at least one or two (though probably not all or most of us) will likely be wearing black shirts and/or point-down pentagrams. (However, since Queens folks tend to be more conservative than Manhattan folks, we ask that people not be TOO eye-catchingly dressed at our Queens meetings.)</p> <p>Newcomers are welcome. Diane Vera, the organizer, will make a point of welcoming all who arrive and encouraging all attendees to tell the rest of us a bit about themselves and their beliefs, to facilitate conversation.</p> <p>Please RSVP as soon as you can, with at least a "maybe" if you can't yet say "yes" or "no." The more people RSVP early, the bigger and better our meetups will be, because a reasonably large number of early RSVP's will let other visitors to this site know that we are indeed a live group where they will actually meet some people.</p> <p>If you RSVP "maybe," we would appreciate it very much if you could then change your RSVP to a "yes" or "no" by no later than at least a few days before the event, so that we can have a better idea how big a table to reserve. DV will be calling the diner to reserve a table two or three days before the event.</p> <p>Diane Vera, the organizer, is a non-LaVeyan theiistic Satanist. She maintains <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/">a website on theistic Satanism</a>, including the page <a href="http://www.theisticsatanism.com/nyc/">Attention, New Yorkers! (for theistic Satanists in and near New York City)</a>.</p> <p>The Church of Azazel proto-congregation is focused on a specific polytheistic Satanist paradigm developed by Diane Vera, who is also the author of a well-known <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/">website on theistic Satanism</a> and founder of the NYC Satanists/LHP discussion group, a.k.a. <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/">NYC Satanists, Luciferians, Dark Pagans, and LHP Occultists</a>.</p> <p>Those for whom the Church of Azazel is intended are only a small minority among Satanists, especially here in NYC.  (On the other hand, the NYC Satanists/LHP discussion group welcomes Satanists, Luciferians, etc. of many different kinds, both theistic and atheistic, on an equal basis, excluding only those who practice or advocate violent criminal activity in the name of Satan or Satanism.)</p> <p>The Church of Azazel proto-congregation is intended primarily for those polytheistic Satanists who: (1) strongly oppose the religious right wing and have a strong desire to do something about it, on some level (e.g. political, artistic, literary, counter-evangelistic, or whatever), in at least some small way, and/or (2) have a strong desire to defend, or better yet to advance, at least one of the more desirable aspects of the modern world that are seen as "Satanic" by the more authoritarian, fundamentalist, and traditionalist sectors of the major religions.  The Church of Azazel will not be, itself, an activist group, but aims to develop forms of spirituality that can strengthen people who, in one way or another, desire to promote societal progress.</p> <p>For a brief introduction to the aims of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation, please see <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Church-of-Azazel-NYC/about/">our "About" page</a>.</p> <p>Prospective members of the Church of Azazel proto-congregration are asked to get to know us by attending meetings of <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Satanists-NYC/">the NYC Satanists/LHP discussion group</a> and/or meetings of at least one of the <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/code/risingGodGroups.html">larger independent local groups</a> devoted to one of the five <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/belief/risingGods.html">Rising Gods</a> (Lilith, Prometheus, Ishtar, Pan, and Lucifer-of-Sophia), as well as <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Church-of-Azazel-NYC/">open meetings of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation itself</a> and/or at least one of the Church of Azazel's <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/code/risingGodGroups.html">Cabals</a>. Meetings of all these groups will be announced in "Upcoming events" emails from the Church of Azazel proto-congregation. Once you join this Meetup group, please make sure you are subscribed to "Organizer broadcasts."</p> <p>Please study the <a href="http://theisticsatanism.com/CoAz/">Church of Azazel website</a> before you begin attending meetings of the Church of Azazel proto-congregation or its Cabals.</p> <p>Prospective members are also encouraged to participate on our <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Church-of-Azazel-NYC/messages/boards/">Meetup message board</a>, again after first spending some time studying the Church of Azazel website.</p> <p>If you're interested in joining us, it would be nice if you could also fill out your profile here on this group's Meetup site, as a further way of introducing yourself to us. You don't need to use your legal name or use a real picture of yourself, but please do tell us a little about your perspective on Satanism, your religious background, and your worldview in general.</p>

And its all FREE !<br/>We will meet Sunday Feb 3 at 11 am on the 10th floor landing near the stairs. Take the elevator (operated by real persons !) to the 10th floor. Its just outside the Curtiss Hall. Curtiss Hall was the location of the January 18th Woodwind Quintet MU. Use the link below to download and print the schedule.

Plus, the scheduled concerts have direct conflicts. We will all have our favorite music to hear. So, this is a free flowing event with choices! Just join a few friends and choose your favorite concerts. Likely there will be visual artist studios open for viewing, too.

Attend concerts and events at locations throughout Chicagoland!</p> <p>We recently had a new leadership group more in. The first thing I did upon taking the Organizer role is choose a qualified and classical-savvy co-Orgonizer.  The second thing I did was read the group reviews. I am going to endeavor to make every event I attend one in which the group is easy to find and there is social time planned before and/or after the concert.</p> <p>Stay tuned, and please provide any ideas that come up! If you know of a new event, feel free to contact any organizer so they can designate an event coordinator and post it to the group.</p>

101074922 6745272 <p><a href="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/1/1/6/event_199336662.jpegAdmission" class="linkified">http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/1/1/6/event_199336662.jpegAdmission</a> is free on Fridays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.</p> <p>Bringing together more than 160 works on paper by such iconic artists as Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, Leonora Carrington, and Joan Miró, this is the first major exhibition to explore the central role of drawing in surrealism, one of the most important movements in twentieth-century art. Once considered a minor medium, drawing became a predominant means of expression and innovation among surrealist artists in the first half of the twentieth century, resulting in a rich array of graphic techniques including automatic drawing, collage, decalcomania, exquisite corpse, and frottage.</p> <p>Drawing Surrealism will offer multiple new perspectives on the emergence, evolution, and influence of this revolutionary movement. It will also explore the international impact of surrealist drawing by featuring important works on paper by over seventy artists from fifteen different countries, from Eastern and Western Europe, North and South America, and Japan.</p> <p>This group will meet periodically as interesting events (museum exhibits, literary events, music, film, theater, etc) come up. The idea for this group is that participants will meet before the event, at a nearby cafe or diner, to get to know each other and then attend the event together. Occasionally, we may also go out afterward for coffee or a drink to have fun and discuss our ideas.</p> <p>RSVPs may be limited for some events. There will be a nominal charge (nonrefundable) for each event, primarily in order to discourage no-shows, but also to defray the cost of organizing meetup events. If you are not comfortable with paying the nominal charge for an event, please do not RSVP. I look forward to meeting you!</p>
101075012 1697168 <p>Awesomely competitive games last week. Back and forth games.</p> <p> </p> <p>This weekend should be clear and cold. We're going to try playing at Ft Hamilton's field. It's a very nice artificial field and the homes around the park should shield us from any cold winds unlike the Dyker Park.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you plan on coming please, please RSVP!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>This meetup was established with the hope of recruiting new members to join our core group of football players. As a group we have been playing regularly for the past few years. But as time goes by we've lost more members than have joined due to family, jobs, life, etc.</p> <p>Our member's love of the game and sportsmanship remain. We play a competitive but relaxed game. We welcome new members and integrate them into football extremely well due to our relaxed nature. We teach and encourage members and treat them with respect. That means not degrading ppl for dropping passes, failing to run routes, etc. Everyone's a newbie at some time and we appreciate that ppl are willing to come out and spend their time with us. This is, after all, a game for FUN!</p> <p>A new member noted to me "Wow it's great that it's competitive yet fun. I was in other groups whereby people would scream and yell at one another which made the games less than fun." We have guidelines established that resolves conflicts, disagreements quickly. We will kick off any person who is belligerent or degrades others. Fortunately we haven't had to come across this thus far.</p> <p>As I noted we do play regularly. Ever since we joined meetup we've had many new members. We play pretty much every Sunday at 9AM and we usually have enough people for a full game. We try to get two separate games going at once when we can get 20 people. At our current pace that shouldn't be a problem at all.</p> <p>We play two hand touch football. We normally play 6 on 6, just QB and receivers. We don't do linemen, kickoffs, flag football, running plays as to reduce injury risks. We've played these previously and tailored our current game to increase the fun and decrease the risks. Games are played until someone scores up to 7 points. If we have two separate games going the winner of each game plays the other to add in a little variety.</p> <p>For those that don't have a car then please contact our leadership team. We can likely pick you up from a nearby train station. After the first game we can try to get another member to share a ride.</p> <p>In conclusion, if you're looking for a fun game with competitive but relaxed people then come to our game.

Tickets are available at the Admission Desk on the day of the screening.</p> <p>Directed by a master of Surrealist cinema and co-written with Salvador Dali, this avant-garde surrealist comedy is a gleeful fever dream of Freudian unease, bizarre humor, and shocking imagery.

This screening is presented in conjunction with the exhibition <i>Drawing Surrealism</i>.</p> <p>This group will meet periodically as interesting events (museum exhibits, literary events, music, film, theater, etc) come up.

Occasionally, we may also go out afterward for coffee or a drink to have fun and discuss our ideas.</p> <p>RSVPs may be limited for some events. There will be a nominal charge (nonrefundable) for each event, primarily in order to discourage no-shows, but also to defray the cost of organizing meetup events. If you are not comfortable with paying the nominal charge for an event, please do not RSVP. I look forward to meeting you!</p>

10107870 874723 <p>My Dearest Light Beings,</p> <p>Before I get to talk re our next meeting, I wanted to take the due time to acknowledge and thank those of you who made it the last time to our 19th Meetup. Not only was it great seeing you all, but we actually did something beautiful for somebody else ( and believe it or not – it had its positive impact and attained result – I’ll tell more about it in separate e-mail ). So I wanted to take the time to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making it to our meeting and I do hope to see more of you and others soon again.</p> <p>Right here and now it’s OUR time ‘to shine’, it’s our time to ‘be the change we want to see in the world’, it’s our time to make the best out of our innate abilities to better this world. So I invite each and every one of you to be an active and fully awakened participant of this change through things you do as on your own on the daily basis as well as by partaking in our group’s activities. After all – it is when we stand united our powers so much stronger and the impact is so much bigger. So let us be all we can be and I do hope to see more of you soon in our upcoming meetings as well as through active online participation.</p> <p>Now re our next 20th ( gee, how fast the time flies by !!!! ) Meetup. It is scheduled to take place in room 3 of ARE Center New York ( as previous two meetups ) Saturday April 25, 2009 from 12.45 pm to 3 pm. As much as I was trying to schedule it earlier and more often ( in general ) each meeting and time of such is subject to many variables and therefore April 25 was the first available date. On the other hand – it is this very long wait time between one meeting to another is what will make you long for it and desire it even more ( LOL ).</p> <p>I would like to dedicate a big part of it for healing modalities, techniques and experiences I want attending members to share with each other. Many recently joining members and many of previously joined ones possess this ability to heal. I know it is of a great interest to many of you and I figured if that is the case, why not to share the knowledge with each other. It is through this very exchange of information, experience and knowledge we can benefit each other as well as recipients of our healing help. So I invite first and foremost all of you who are into healing, able to heal or interested in knowing more about it to attend as well as anyone else who just want to attend for it is always a pleasure having you on board.</p> <p>As usual please make sure to RSVP ( it is absolutely imperative and important on so many levels ) based on your availability on that day.</p> <p>I am going to send several subsequent to this, e-mails including new things I am going to implement re rental fee.</p> <p>Any ideas regarding other topics or anything else you would like to discuss during our next meeting , please feel free to post on the message board – as a reply to this message.</p> <p>I want to thank you all again for being the light in the darkness – in this time and place and hope to see more of you – in order to make this light shine upon the world even brighter. Thank you ALL and each and every one of you ( which is ALL anyway ) for everything that you are and that you do.</p> <p>With Love and Light your Way,<br/>Edward</p> <p><strong>Dear fellow spiritual/Conscious seeker from all walks of life....Welcome!</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>This group is all about promoting and sharing Unconditional Love and Divine Consciousness with the World in dire need of it.</strong><br> <br> <strong>For many the connection to the Divine within has been interrupted and lost. Through offered during our meetups discussions, profound Love and Light meditations, networking, sharing and so much more you have the chance to remember it all, to remember who you are, to re-establish the lost connection and finally to spread your wings and fly.</strong><br> <br> <strong>It really does not matter who you consider yourself to be ( an Indigo, Crystal a Lightworker or none of above ) &ndash; go beyond the label, go beyond the limitations of your mind, ego or society.

The exhibition examines themes of primitivism and modernity, two poles of Expressionism that artists employed to free themselves from the academic conventions of the nineteenth century. The engagement of these artists with the zeitgeist of the early twentieth century in Germany led them to paint emotionally charged, often contrasting scenes. On display will be both lively depictions of cabaret and circus culture, as well as cityscapes of lonely, alienating Berlin streets. Among the artists whose works will be on view are Max Beckmann, Lovis Corinth, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Paul Klee, Franz Marc, August Macke, Hermann Max Pechstein, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff.</p> <p>This group will meet periodically as interesting events (museum exhibits, literary events, music, film, theater, etc) come up. The idea for this group is that participants will meet before the event, at a nearby cafe or diner, to get to know each other and then attend the event together. Occasionally, we may also go out afterward for coffee or a drink to have fun and discuss our ideas.</p> <p>RSVPs may be limited for some events. There will be a nominal charge (nonrefundable) for each event, primarily in order to discourage no-shows, but also to defray the cost of organizing meetup events. If you are not comfortable with paying the nominal charge for an event, please do not RSVP. I look forward to meeting you!</p>

Fine Dining and Cultural Events members will join in the fight against cancer in American Cancer Society's Walk and Roll, taking place on Sunday May 17th.</p> <p>Each and everyone of us has personally been effected by cancer or knows someone who has. Personally, I have helped a friend through breast cancer, my Grandfather had lung cancer, and women's cancers have taken family members. This will be my second time participating in this very moving event with so many people walking and rolling in tribute of loved ones. When I was last at the finish line a group of about 7 women were together and asked me to take their photo. They then turned so their backs faced me, put their arms around each other...and on each of their t-shirts was in memory of a little beautiful girl...the daughter of one of those women. Story after story...tribute after tribute....a very worthy cause needing your support.</p> <p>How you can help...<br/>The Walk and Roll event offers 3 choices for participants....<br/>5-mile walk<br/>10-mile skate<br/>15-mile bike<br/>For those who will not be able to join us on the 17th, your generous donation is greatly appreciated.<br/>/ /<br/><a href="http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/CommunityFundraisingPages/CFPFY09ILWalknRoll/124574810?pg=team&amp;fr_id=18875&amp;team_id=478567">Click here to register with our Walk and Roll team</a></p> <p><a href="http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/CommunityFundraisingPages/CFPFY09ILWalknRoll/124574810?pg=team&amp;fr_id=18875&amp;team_id=478567">Click here to make a donation</a></p> <p><i>Thank you for your support.</i></p> <p>/<br/>/</p> <p><a href="http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/CommunityFundraisingPages/CFPFY09ILWalknRoll?sid=1731&amp;type=fr_informational&amp;pg=informational&amp;fr_id=18875">For event details click here</a></p> <p> **Please note that since we will all have different finish times a thank you event will be held at a later date and information will be sent soon.</p> <p>Welcome to Fine Dining and Cultural Events, a group designed to bring you the very best of the Chicago area.</p> <p>Our goal is to provide top quality events throughout the year so you can enjoy yourself while making making new friends as well as social and professional connections.</p> <p>Dining, theater, concerts, sporting events, cultural activities, and posh gatherings are just some of the selections that you will have access to as a member of our group.</p> <p>If at any time you have a suggestion please send it in as we would always love to hear from you.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://s11.sitemeter.com/stats.asp?site=s11PlayfulsGroups"><img src="http://s11.sitemeter.com/meter.asp?site=s11PlayfulsGroups" alt="Site Meter" style="margin : 5px ; max-width : 700px ; max-height : 700px"></a></p>

Inventing Abstraction, 1910–1925 celebrates the centennial of this bold new type of artwork, tracing the development of abstraction as it moved through a network of modern artists, from Marsden Hartley and Marcel Duchamp to Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich, sweeping across nations and across media. The exhibition brings together many of the most influential works in abstraction’s early history and covers a wide range of artistic production, including paintings, drawings, books, sculptures, films, photographs, sound poems, atonal music, and non-narrative dance, to draw a cross-media portrait of these watershed years.</p> <p>This group will meet periodically as interesting events (museum exhibits, literary events, music, film, theater, etc) come up.

10108321 1236725 <p>Let's check out this great new exhibit at the Art Institute of Edvard Munch. It is closing April 26, so we should go soon. Let's meet up right outside of the exhibit.</p> <p>Who was the man behind The Scream and other iconic images of modern anxiety and despair? Two potent myths continue to define our understanding of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch: first, that he was mentally unstable, as these images suggest, and second, that the main influence on his distinctive style were his French and German contemporaries and not his fellow Scandinavians. Becoming Edvard Munch: Influence, Anxiety, and Myth challenges and overturns these myths. By considering Munch’s paintings, prints, and drawings in relation to his European peers—including James Ensor, Vincent van Gogh, and Claude Monet—surprising connections are revealed. See the man behind the myth.</p> <p>Cheers,<br/>Khal Text or call me if you are running late.

101084562 4387872 <p>Hi Mamas! It has been a while since I scheduled a meetup and I have to apologize for being so busy. I know our lives are all hectic, but I did want to offer support for anyone who needs to chat or just wants to get together. We do not necessarily have to meet on this date, I'm open to suggestions! Send a message if you have another idea or date in mind.</p> <p>This is a group for moms who have a story to tell about the birth of their premature baby. We will be supportive of each other and discuss everything from your birth story, pre-birth plan, emergency cesareans, bradycardias and the NICU, to where you are now and the milestones that your strong baby or child is conquering!.</p> <p>Many thanks to Jen Vellano, the original organizer of this group.  She's the mom of a 30-weeker and couldn't find too much support out there, and thought that a Meetup would be helpful.  What a wonderful idea!</p> <p>I'm Lorrie, the group's organizer and mom to Ryan, a former 28 weeker.   I'm looking forward to scheduling lots of meet ups and getting to know all of you better.  We share a special bond and special journey and only those who've been down this preemie road really know what it's all about.  Let's meet, chat, support each other and have some fun!</p>
101084722 5055262 <p>Whitney M. Young, Jr. was one of the most celebrated, and controversial, leaders of the civil rights era. The Powerbroker: Whitney Young's Fight for Civil Rights follows his journey from segregated Kentucky to head of the National Urban League. Unique among black leaders, he took the fight directly to the powerful white elite, gaining allies in business and government, including three presidents. Young had the difficult tasks of calming the fears of white allies, relieving the doubts of fellow civil rights leaders, and responding to attacks from the militant Black Power movement.</p> <p>RSVP required:</p> <p><a href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/320010" class="linkified">http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/320010</a></p> <p> </p> <p>*Members of The India Center &amp; Dharma Center will join this event*</p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/4/c/8/event_201813992.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left"></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Come join us for some Music, Dance, Arts, Culture, Food and ...good times!</p>

10109051 255797 <p><i>We will start the evening with a classic Russian animated short film. Large screen, excellent sound and free popcorn.</i></p> <p><b>????????????? ???? - The Diamond Arm</b><br/>Directed by: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0301145/">Leonid Gaidai</a><br/>Runtime: 100 min • in Russian with English subtitles</p> <p>The Soviet Union's biggest box-office hit of 1969, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062759/">The Diamond Arm</a> proves that English-language cinema certainly didn't hold a monopoly in Dayglo-dyed self-consciously trendy comedies - this could very easily be double-billed with the likes of one of the early Pink Panther films or just about anything starring Peter Sellers or directed by Richard Lester from the mid-to-late Sixties.</p> <p>Mild-mannered, middle-aged economist Semyon Gorbunkov (<a href="http://www.filmreference.com/Actors-and-Actresses-Mo-No/Nikulin-Yuri.html">Yuri Nikulin</a>) goes on an Adriatic cruise to escape his wife and children for a week or so. On board the Mikhail Svetlov he shares a cabin with Gennady Kozodoyev (Andrei Mironov), whom we know is up to no good because we've already seen him plotting with his sidekick while still ashore and know in advance that "Damned melon!" is some kind of password.</p> <p>Needless to say, though, it's Semyon who ends up slipping on a slice of melon when he reaches Istanbul, and his reaction is overheard by the smugglers, who naturally assume he's Gennady - so they knock him out, sprain his arm, and wrap it up in plaster, concealing diamonds, jewels and rare coins in the folds of the bandages. But unbeknown to them, Semyon is actually awake during this process, and immediately reports it to the ship's captain, who radios back to port. But, to his surprise, Semyon isn't stopped in customs - because the police realise that retrieving the contraband might be one thing, but capturing the whole gang is rather more attractive.</p> <p>So they equip him with money and a gun (loaded with blanks) and send him out as bait - but poor Semyon also has to explain his new-found wealth to his wife (Nina Grebeshkova) after his nosy Patricia Routledge-like concierge (Nanna Mordyukova) - whose 'name and shame' policy towards her tenants involves erecting large billboards with slogans like SHAME ON THE DRUNKARD AND DEBAUCHER S.S.GORBUNKOV! outside the block of flats she supervises - starts spreading rumours to anyone who'll listen. - <a href="http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=3691">DVDTimes</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUqA-Us67Wo">Trailer on YouTube</a></p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Nikulin">Yuri Nikulin on Wikipedia</a></p> <p>Explore Russian Brooklyn and learn Russian language!</p> <p>The 4th Ave Brooklyn Russian Language Meet-up Group is a place where people of different backgrounds and levels of expertise in Russian language meet new friends.</p> <p>If Russian is your native language, or you would like to practice Russian language, perhaps planning to travel to Russia or fascinated about Russian culture, movies, music and art, then this group is for you. <br /> Meet Russians in Brooklyn and discover one of the most dynamic and diverse communities in New York area.</p> <p>Find us on YouTube: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/RussianBklyn" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/RussianBklyn" title="http://www.youtube.com/RussianBklyn" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/RussianBklyn</a></a></p> <p>Check out our Events Calendar: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Russian-Brooklyn/calendar/" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.meetup.com/Russian-Brooklyn/calendar/" title="http://www.meetup.com/Russian-Brooklyn/calendar/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/Russian-Brooklyn/calendar/</a></a></p> <p>Subscribe to our mailing list: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Russian-Brooklyn/messages/archive/rss/russian-258+Meetup+Mailing+List/" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.meetup.com/Russian-Brooklyn/messages/archive/r" title="http://www.meetup.com/Russian-Brooklyn/messages/archive/r" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/Russian-Brooklyn/messages/archive/r</a>...</a></p> <p><br />Hope to see you soon,</p> <p><br />Janis <br />Organizer of the 4th Avenue Brooklyn <br />Russian Language Meet-up</p>

And the representation of Japanese culture in New York City is no exception. From the&nbsp;clich&eacute; ubiquity of sushi houses to authentic and unique Japanese performing artists on tour, our group enjoys the sides of Japan that are on display in New York. Our events include art exhibits, J-pop concerts, sake tastings, karaoke outings, book readings, lectures, language classes, anime and manga screenings, networking events, and regular dinners at Japanese restaurants. A great group to meet&nbsp; others who share an interest, respect, and appreciation for all things Japan! :)</span></p>
101099532 2516372 <p>Come with your little one and bake some Valentine's Day cookies to give to the special people in your lives!</p> <p><br/>This fun, hands-on activity is a great opportunity for you to bond with your child, and an excellent way to support Mama Love as well. Participants are asked to pay a suggested donation of $5-20.</p> <p>I’ve always felt the need to give back and that urge only grew after my son was born in January 2010. I find many moms feel similarly and want to use that overwhelming empathy that comes with motherhood to help make the world a better place for our children. This meetup group will help organize ways to help charities--local, national and international--so moms can find opportunities to give back. If you're interested in helping the greater community, there will be an opportunity here for you to do just that. Thank you for your help!</p>

101100422 3656342 <p>This workshop is for those who are completely new to Proprioceptive Writing® (PW) and those who would like a refresher on the basics.</p> <p>I will explain how to do a Write, the three simple, yet complex, rules and what proprioception is and what it has to do with writing.</p> <p>We will have one 25 minute writing session followed by a reading of Writes. Only those who feel comfortable reading will do so.</p> <p>Bring pens to write with. Everything else will be provided.</p> <p>If you have already purchased Writing the Mind Alive, please read Chapter 2. If not, books will be available at the workshop for $13 for those who want to purchase them.</p> <p>Also, check out:</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ProprioceptiveWritingCenter"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ProprioceptiveWritingCenter" class="linkified">https://www.facebook.com/ProprioceptiveWritingCenter</a></a></p> <p><strong><em>Writing the Mind Alive: the Proprioceptive Method for Finding Your Authentic Voice</em></strong> is the title of the book which describes the <span>Proprioceptive Writing®</span> (PW) practice.  PW is a method for exploring the psyche through writing. Easy enough for anyone to learn it, PW is practiced to music in 25-minute sessions, under stress-free conditions, alone or in groups. Through a process we call “Inner Hearing,” PW teaches you to listen to your thoughts with empathy and curiosity and reflect on them in writing. Practiced regularly, this simple yet powerfully effective method gradually opens a path to self-trust. Other frequently reported benefits include: deepened powers of attention, increased self-confidence, greater intimacy and spontaneity in relationships, enhanced emotional health, awakened spirituality. Through PW, people increase their creativity and feel their minds expand, one of life's greatest pleasures. Widely recognized as an adjunct to the healing arts and as a form of meditation, PW is also valuable to people who wish to write and for writers facing impediments to their work. It returns you to the pleasures of pure process, reminding you why you wanted to write to begin with. Through practice you get personal with your subject matter. Over time you collect a rich storehouse of raw material that you can draw on for your writing projects.</p> <p>For more information, please visit <a href="http://www.pwriting.org">www.pwriting.org</a></p> <p>Visit us on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ProprioceptiveWritingCenter?fref=ts">https://www.facebook.com/ProprioceptiveWritingCenter?fref=ts</a></p> <p>Suggested reading: Writing the Mind Alive by Linda Trichter Metcalf, PhD &amp; Tobin Simon, PhD</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Feel free to come and catch up on some miles or if you are NOT a distance run, come anyways and we will circle back around to drop you back at your car. We accommodate all distances and levels.</p>
10110295 1394815 <p>Out-loud reading of an entire text is a unique experience for listeners.</p> <p>Unfortunately, we all have a sitting tolerance way under the 3+ hours Genesis will require. Solution...read whatever our hour and a half allows, and do the last half at another Meetup. We should get thru creation, fall, patriarchs, flood, Babel and Abraham--from 0 AM to 2000 AM (Anno Mundi, year of the world) by 6:30 pm. More comfy seats will be waiting at Starbucks for some lively after discussion. I for one, have a lot of thots (like what was right about Adam's action, why what God did to mankind was not 'punishment' etc) that I'd love to bounce off others.</p> <p>Genesis seems to be the most seminal book in the old testament; it's universal, majestic and broad. From Exodus on, the focus gets limited; one nation is selected to act on behalf of mankind's growing population, fenced-in for God's intensive cultivation as Eden had been, and Israel takes center stage. The succeeding books of the OT can only be understood in light of Israel's standing connected to God on behalf of all us other nations. Out-reading we'll do from those scriptures must be grounded in that understanding as we try to put ourselves in the mindset of the original audience.</p> <p>Meet other New Yorkers who are interested in hearing our common Bible read out loud as written.</p> <p>Much of the Old and New Testament was scribally penned and edited for those who, not having a personal copy, expected to hear a declamation--formal reading by one familiar with the text and able to read it according to protocol. "Blessed he that reads, and they that hear..." begins the Revelation, no doubt referring to such a 'public' reading.</p> <p>The practice of "following along" in our readily available personal copies tends to block the intended effect, since we hear both our internally voiced stream of words at the same time as the voice of the out-reader.</p> <p>Out-loud reading of an entire text is a unique experience for listeners.</p> <p>No other book makes like authorship claims, such sweeping appeal to all God's children observant and not, or like internal consistency over the ages-separated pens of dozens of scribes...such an enduring document deserves at least the courtesy we accord lesser literature. And that begins with clear, bold, reverent out-reading, without discussing &amp; commenting. Join us if you agree. If you don't, join us anyway to hear The Book read out as it begs.</p>
10110346 224373 <p>For Beginners, Experts AND Onlookers!</p> <p>Singers, pickers, blowers, foot-tappers, bongo-drummers, cheerful listeners and ACOUSTIC instrumentalists of all kinds are welcome (sorry no amps!).</p> <p><br/><i>(This is a joint event between our group and <a href="http://vocalists.meetup.com/126/">The NY Singer/Songwriters Meetup</a>.)</i></p> <p><b>____________________________________________<br/>THE BASIC IDEA:</b></p> <p><br/>We all get together with acoustic instruments and play together to relatively simple popular songs pre-arranged and prepared by your organizer from this website:</p> <p><a href="http://www.chordie.com/publicbooks.php?show=details&amp;songid=158013"><a href="http://www.chordie.co" class="linkified">http://www.chordie.co</a>...</a><br/>(good idea to put them into a binder).</p> <p><br/>Now, for those of you who've been to one of these before, you know it's really all in the selection of songs. If they're too hard, people are squinting at the chord charts trying to figure out where they are in the tune. No worries because you will find yourself playing along with ease in something that resembles an impromptu orchestra (it really does become angelic at times).</p> <p><br/><b>____________________________________________<br/>EVENT FORMAT:</b></p> <p><br/>In the best incarnation of this community concert, you will step up and lead us through at least one verse of your favorite tune and then pass the next verse to the next eager musician. If you're shy, no worries-- Sing backup or in the background! When you're ready to step up, you’ll know it and then so will we!</p> <p><br/>I have noticed in the past that most of you music lovers would much rather get right to the point and play rather than go to a networking event, sit in an open mic night or even hear me drone on and on.</p> <p><br/>It is also possible that we could break into some blues tunes, so you soloists prepare to wail a little bit!</p> <p><br/><b>____________________________________________<br/>NOTE ABOUT THE VENUE:</b></p> <p><br/>Our venue requests a ONE DRINK MINIMUM and I would like to ask we all comply since we are very eager to continue a great relationship with them and build this idea into something we enjoy all winter long and perhaps many in the future!</p> <p><b>____________________________________________</b></p> <p>See you there.</p> <p>Rich Casella</p> <p><br/><b>Subway Directions:</b><br/>West 4th street A,B,C, D, E, F, V (Walk one block east to Macdougal)</p> <p>We're a diverse group of musicians and music lovers, representing ALL styles and ALL skill levels.</p> <p>We have many different types of events, and meet regularly to network, collaborate, workshop, share ideas/tips/knowledge, perform, jam, songswap and give/receive feedback.</p> <p>Come join us!</p>

101106612 5582602 <p>Our Baby/Toddler Sign Language class is moving to a new day and time, and I'd love for you to come check it out! Please join us for a free demo class. Directions are here:<br/><a href="http://www.rivertownmamas.com/contact.html" class="linkified">http://www.rivertownmamas.com/contact.html</a></p> <p>The new schedule will be posted later this week, but the class is planned for Tuesdays, 10-10:45, beginning February 5. A full description of the class follows:</p> <p>***<br/>This innovative sign language class seeks to open the doors to communication with babies as young as 7 months old, and to continue building on the skills learned into the toddler years. Each session is tailored to the abilities of the participants, introducing simple signs to beginners and reinforcing them with early learners, while expanding signing vocabulary and comprehension for all. Children and parents will learn a new way to express themselves and understand one another through familiar (and fun!) songs, books, stories, and games.</p> <p>We're a group of moms of infants and toddlers in the Rivertowns of New York: Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Ardsley, and surrounding areas. We're interested in postpartum support via our incredible new moms' group plus play dates, events, classes, and gatherings in the area to help meet each other and form a community of families with similarly-aged kids.

Scientists warned that we were likely to see many more extreme weather disasters as climate change accelerates.  Suddenly, environmental threats were no longer theoretical problems 10 or 20 years in the future – but tangible disasters that might hit next week.</span><br> <br> <span style="color : #000000">Sustainability is now paired with</span></span> <span><a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/resilience">resilience</a>,</span> <span style="color : #000000">the ability to bounce back and resume functioning after change or disruption.  <br> <br> Huge government efforts are now underway to build resilience and prepare for near-term disruptions, creating opportunities.  Billions in federal funds will be spent in NY City and State.  NYC government has launched a <a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcla/downloads/pdf/SIRR_Public_Workshops_March_2013.pdf"><span>Special Initiative for Rebuilding and Resilience</span></a>, and <a href="http://www.council.nyc.gov/html/pr/121912bldg.shtml"><span>task forces on how to prepare our buildings</span></a> and neighborhoods for climate change impacts. They will need public support and public input.  Getting the public involved in exploring the places where sustainability and resilience responses overlap offers great opportunities. <br> <br> <strong><span>Many sustainable responses are also resilient responses.</span></strong><span style="color : #555555"><br> <br> </span> <span style="color : #000000">Good news: many of the responses that will make NYC and the US more sustainable and more energy-efficient, while slowing climate change and lowering our costs, will also make us more resilient. <br> <br> <span style="color : #000000">-  Encouraging NYC building owners to take advantage of existing energy efficiency upgrade options, and raising green building standards beyond LEED and NYC building code toward the new passive house standards<span style="color : #555555"><br> </span> <span style="color : #000000">- Increasing the amount of energy we get from solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower, and encouraging solar system installations within NYC<br> -</span></span> <span style="color : #000000">Supporting decentralized power generation and smart grids</span> <span style="color : #555555"><br> </span><br> Remember the transportation and shipping disruptions after Hurricane Sandy? Getting more of what we need from in or near our community reduces our dependence on vulnerable long-distance supply chains.  It will also promote local economic development, create jobs, and improve our quality of life.</span> <span style="color : #555555"><br> <br> </span> <span style="color : #000000">- Getting more of NYC's food from within NYC, NY State and the metro region</span> <span style="color : #555555"><br> </span> <span style="color : #000000">- Supporting a robust NYC mass transit system<br> - Expanding and improving NYC bus service<br> - Supporting biking &amp; electric transportation<br> - Promoting massive federal funding of rail networks<br> - Opposing urban sprawl; promoting denser development of existing towns, cities and areas with mass transit access<br> <br> </span> <span style="color : #000000">Resilience topics most directly tied to the memory of Hurricane Sandy will include preparing at the individual and community level for a wide range of disruptions, to reduce both future hardship and future costs. There are many local resources and allies for this work, including <a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/html/home/home.shtml">NYC Office of Emergency Management</a>, which has community programs including <a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/html/get_involved/cert.shtml">Community Emergency Response Team</a> (CERT) and <a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/html/get_involved/ccc.shtml">NYC Citizen Corps Council</a>.<br> </span> <span style="color : #555555"><br> </span></span> <span style="color : #000000"><strong>The benefit of getting more New Yorkers involved</strong><br> <br> One area where PlaNYC could be stronger has been seeking public input and gaining public support.  Consider what happens when the City comes out with sustainability or public health initiatives without building substantial public support beforehand.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000">- Getting diverse community based organizations involved - the majority of which don't focus on either - will build grassroots support and make City efforts more successful over the long term. <br> <br> - NYC has many creative communities and networks of technical experts. most of which don't focus on either sustainability or resilience.  Encouraging them to put some thought to these topics could catalyze innovations in organizational practices, messaging, business or technology. <br> <br> <strong>It's not just hurricanes.  We live in exciting and increasingly volatile times.</strong><br> <br> <span style="color : #000000">What steps must we take to ensure that NYC in 2033 is sustainable, resilient, happy and prosperous? Before we can address that question, we have to acknowledge that volatility and disruption in our future will be coming from more directions than widely recognized. Adding <span style="color : #000000">other challenges we may not be fully aware of now will lead to more effective and accurate actions.<br> <br> <strong><span style="color : #000000">Climate change, fuel depletion, and economic transition.</span></strong></span><br> <br> </span> Structural changes in the environment, energy and the economy will ensure that the next twenty years will be completely unlike the last twenty.  <span style="color : #000000">Before New Yorkers can address that question, they must be briefed on the broader scope of our challenges</span><span><span style="color : #000000">. <br> <br> </span></span> Likely climate change impacts on NYC include hurricanes, flooding, and heat waves.  A subtle but crucial omission is that preparing <span style="color : #000000">for future climate change impacts often leave out the need to sharply reduce our carbon emissions from fossil fuels, to lessen the future impacts of climate change.</span></span> <span style="color : #555555"><span style="color : #000000"><br> </span></span> <span style="color : #000000"><br> Another reason to rapidly transition away from fossil fuels is that we are highly dependent on them, and we are encountering limits to their supplies. In our recent history, the last 150 years in which our modern economy has come to be, we have always been discovering more supplies of petroleum, natural gas and goal.  However, conditions have changed.<br> <br> Many independent energy analysts say that world crude oil production peaked in 2005 and is on a bumpy plateau, despite massive high tech investment to find new sources.  But according to data from the US Energy Information Agency, <a href="http://www.eia.gov/cfapps/ipdbproject/iedindex3.cfm?tid=50&amp;pid=57&amp;aid=1&amp;cid=ww,&amp;syid=2005&amp;eyid=2012&amp;freq=Q&amp;unit=TBPD">world crude oil production has slightly increased</a> the last several years.  They're able to say that by <a href="http://resourceinsights.blogspot.com/2014/04/did-crude-oil-production-actually-peak.html">fudging the math</a> - including the volume of other petroleum-related liquids that are not used as oil.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000">Despite  <span style="color : #000000">record investment in exploration and production development, crude oil production has been on a bumpy plateau. O</span>il companies are forced to drill in increasingly extreme locations, often miles under the ocean floor.  It's because the easy oil has all been found.  Even with the slight increase from unconventional oil supplies, world oil production has been stagnant - and could go into permanent decline at any time.  <a href="http://www.postcarbon.org/issue/13913-energy">We should start preparing now</a>.<br> <br> Likewise, we keep hearing that because of new techniques for drilling natural gas from shale, we'll have enough natural gas for 100 years and the US will even be exporting natural gas to other countries.  <a href="http://www.postcarbon.org/article/1531617-fracked-gas-won-t-solve-energy-crunch">New studies</a> indicate we have far less gas than that, and we should urgently accelerate our transition to renewable clean power instead.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #000000">In May 2014, the <a href="http://www.postcarbon.org/press-release/2239062-monterey-shale-downgraded">US Energy Information Agency dropped a bombshell</a>: they drastically reduced their estimate of recoverable oil from California's Monterrey shale formation - originally estimated to be 64% of the nation's recoverable shale oil supply - by 96%! <br> <br> Our economy, beset with multiple financial crises, is already highly volatile.   <span style="color : #000000">Entering a time in which availability of fossil fuel energy supplies is permanently declining instead of increasing will clearly</span> affect economic conditions.   <a href="http://www.postcarbon.org/issue/12881-economics">Unending economic growth</a> will no longer be feasible or environmentally desirable, but economic reform leading to a prosperous economy is possible.  The policy responses noted above will help us move in that direction and adapt to a future in which price and supply of fossil fuel is increasingly volatile.</span> <span style="color : #555555"><br> </span> <span style="color : #555555"><br> </span> <strong><span style="color : #000000">What's next?

Originally called the "Norridge-Harwood Heights Community Jazz Band," due to the origins of founder Bill May and many of the original band members, the band later became know as "Jazz Community" and played throughout the Chicagoland area for over 12 years.</p> <p>Jazz Community played weekly at several restaurants and supper clubs, as well as playing outdoor summer festivals and street fairs, and along the way the band played for several private events and weddings.</p> <p>With the untimely passing of founder and director Bill May, in the fall of 1991, Jazz Community disbanded. Jazz Community reunited in the fall of 2011, to recognize the twentieth anniversary of Bill’s passing and to honor and celebrate the musical contributions he made to the many lives he touched.</p> <p>With the successful reunion of <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/JazzCommunity">Jazz Community</a></b> in the fall of 2011 the members of the band are back on track, inspired and ready to delight Big Band Fans in the Chicagoland area once again.</p> <p>********</p> <p><b>FREE -</b> I'll make a reservation based on RSVPs, but due to the size of the crowd, can't guarantee you a seat if you arrive late.</p> <p><i><b>This event is listed on several Meetups!</b></i></p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/4/8/4/event_149146212.jpeg" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>********</p> <p>Big Band Jazz music is not the same as Dance Band music. Big Band Jazz involves familiar tunes but includes extended solos wherein these talented musicians get to show off a little for the crowd (and for their fellow band members). Intended primarily as a concert - usually no room for dancing. Look for a table with a Meetup sign. Of course RSVPs are appreciated so we know how many jazz fans to expect, but last minute attendees are always welcome.</p> <p>For a schedule of Big Band Jazz in the Chicago area provided by the Chicagoland Big Band Jazz Society (Join CBBJS for $10/yr.):</p> <p><a href="http://www.chicagolandbigbandjazzsociety.org/"><a href="http://www.chicagolandbigbandjazzsociety.org/" class="linkified">http://www.chicagolandbigbandjazzsociety.org/</a></a></p> <p> </p> <p>A listing of selected Big Band Jazz performances in the Chicagoland area. Due to the small size of this Meetup group, many events are not official Meetups. Some events are also posted on other Meetups. We list the performances for your information. Stop in and enjoy the music - you will not be disappointed.</p> <p>One of the best spaces for Big Band Jazz is <strong><a href="http://www.fitzgeraldsnightclub.com/index.htm">FitzGerald's</a></strong> in Berwyn, which hosts Big Band Jazz 5 nights a month.

I ran some queries in my database and calculated that we've had over 10,000 people visit us in the Hamptons across all the summers!<br/>This an alumni group that can rival many top universities and I feel we haven't done enough to help keep everyone in touch. So, I hereby declare that all Hamptons events are equally as much for prior guests as future guests. Keep in touch with those you've met at the house 1, 2, or 5 or even 10 years ago! I've always said "once a member; always a member!" Now, I want to make that easier and bring out more alumni at each happy hour.</p> <p>Upcoming Events | Hamptons | Party Photos | Forum</p> <p>Contact</p> <p>* <a href="http://facebook.com/davidshapiroNYC" class="linkified">http://facebook.com/davidshapiroNYC</a><br/>* <a href="http://twitter.com/davidshapiroNYC" class="linkified">http://twitter.com/davidshapiroNYC</a><br/>* <a href="http://linkedin.com/in/davidshapiroNYC" class="linkified">http://linkedin.com/in/davidshapiroNYC</a><br/>* [masked]<br/>*[masked] (office)<br/>*[masked] (mobile/text)</p> <p>Meet fellow Social Networkers near you who enjoy spending their summer weeks in the city and their weekends in the Hamptons.</p> <p>Come to a local Happy Hour to meet others who are planning their summer escapes from the hot streets of NYC!</p> <p>Our members are from the tri-state area and are predominantly in their 20s and 30s.</p>

The group tries to Meetup locally in the Chicago area to bring adventurous people together to talk about where we’ve been and where we dream of going… with the ultimate goal of traveling to amazing and adventurous places around the world with a group of other liked-minded people (see our events). As much as we are looking to find other adventurous people to travel with, we love getting together face to face with members from our community to visit local restaurants, grab a social drink together in one of the local bars or maybe even a hike or a walk at a local park. So come join us and live the adventurous life you’ve always dreamed of.

101118532 867739 <p>The IAM pitching panel is a great opportunity and chance to pitch your invention first-hand to our renowned pitching panel and inventor club.</p> <p>A few things:</p> <p>- We charge a nominal $50 fee, which is a tax-deductible donation to our non-profit group. We do so in order to cover costs associated with organizing the event. So please purchase your spot ASAP.</p> <p>- We want to make sure you understand that you will be making a "public disclosure" of your invention. Therefore, your invention should be either patent-pending or patented. Please contact your patent agent/attorney to make sure this pitching panel is safe for you.

10113194 1275435 <p>For more than 2,000 years, the Polynesians have been using the noni fruit to maintain a health lifestyle. The noni fruit is rich in antioxidants.</p> <p>Research has shown then noni fruit boost one's immune system, lower cholesterol and give consumers a natural boost of energy.</p> <p>During this session, I will introduce you to the noni juice, soy shakes, as well as other noni-based products.</p> <p>The session is <b>free</b> and it will take place at the address listed below.</p> <p>Altria Building (public space)<br/>120 Park Avenue at 42nd Street<br/>between Vanderbilt and Park Avenue/Pershing Square.</p> <p>Meet new people, professionals, students, models, employees, business owners, everyday people!  This is your place!!  Be healthy!  Do something exciting and fun!  Meet extraordinary people!</p> <p>Experience the magic on the dance floor, something you never thought you'd be doing in a million years...</p> <p><span style="font-size : small">Dancing represents happiness and celebration in life and is a form of adult recreation and play!</span></p> <p>When you tell yourself you have no rhythm and therefore cannot dance, you are expressing that you are somehow not worthy of this spontaneous, creative expression. But of course you are worthy of this opportunity to work with your body to <span style="text-decoration : underline">have fun and play</span>! You are just unfamiliar with the territory and hesitate to try it because of a <span style="text-decoration : underline">fear of failure</span>. In fact, this is what keeps some people off of the dance floor, because if they were to actually "fail," it may confirm that biggest fear. However, dancing is not about success or failure. It is about confronting your potential to embrace happiness through movement. In a way, as dance teachers, we are therapists, and DanceSport is like a center for personal change.</p> <p><br> The take home message here is that you do, indeed, have rhythm. You just don't want to feel like a fish out of water. This is why so many people are attracted to Dancing With the Stars. The stars, too, are conquering their fears of celebration and expression. Even if, and especially if, you have already proven to be successful in other ways, embarking on learning a new skill like dance can be scary. But you can't fail unless you try, and there is no failure, so.... what are you waiting for? Take a deep breath, and come join us on the floor!</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

101133202 1772015 <p>Join us for the first Cinémonde soiree of the New Year on Wednesday evening, Jan. 30 as we host filmmaker Olivia Silver with a sneak preview of her award-winning feature, ARCADIA, in the Penthouse and Solarium Screening Room at the Roger Smith Hotel (47th &amp; Lexington), from 6:30 to 10:30 pm.</p> <p><br/>We'll raise a glass or two, taste some delicious hors d’oeuvres, watch this thought-provoking movie and chat with the director, finally ending the evening with desserts from Financier Bakery and a chocolate tasting by gourmet chocolate Chef Lisa Mecray Rogers. Chocolates will be available to help you celebrate Valentine's Day!</p> <p><br/>For an overview of Cinemonde Soiree #29, please go to: <a href="http://www.mistralartistmanagement.com/SoireeNumberTwentyNine.html" class="linkified">http://www.mistralartistmanagement.com/SoireeNumberTwentyNine.html</a></p> <p>All reservations for Cinemonde Soiree #29 can be placed on a first-come, first-served basis and paid for on-line at: <a href="http://www.mistralartistmanagement.com/ReserveCinemonde.html" class="linkified">http://www.mistralartistmanagement.com/ReserveCinemonde.html</a></p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/c/2/event_198423522.jpeg" /><br/>In ARCADIA, we take a memorable road trip across America with Tom (Oscar &amp; Golden Globe nominee John Hawkes from “Sessions” and “Winter’s Bone”) and his three children, Greta, Caroline and Nat. Their 3,000-mile coast-to-coast journey in a crammed station wagon provides the cartography for this smart road movie, while inside the hearts and minds of the father and his kids, another interior journey is taking place, one of growth, conflict, bewilderment and survival that will lead them all to unexpected places.<br/>Cinemonde is a private screening series of thought-provoking movies for film, media and entertainment professionals (and those who want to be). Throughout the year, Cinemonde offers a line-up of compelling films, gourmet food, wonderful wines and spirits along with insightful discussions and great networking opportunities.

10113435 1359082 <p>This will be an introductory meetup to discuss Acupuncture, how it works, and how it can work for individuals. We can cover TCM, APM, and 5 element styles , however the main thrust will be KM or Kiiko Matsumoto style. There will be reflex demonstrations on willing volunteers by Toni King M.S. L. Ac., all others wanting reflex screening may stay after the discussion for a private screening. Each Screening lasts from 5 to 15 minutes, and distal points will be used with acupuressure so that the reflexes change and the volunteer can report back to the meetup group on how the sensations changed for them. No needles will be used on participants. One free acupuncture treatment will be raffled off (no charge) to willing participants to be performed at a later date in private. Toni King is a fully insured Acupuncturist, Licensed in the State of New York.</p> Meet other locals to discuss Acupuncture, specifically KM style Acupuncture, and how it can help to maintain or increase health and wellness, decrease stress, lower or eliminate pain (acute, idiopathic, or chronic), and manage symptoms of chronic conditions for optimal health and quality of life. Specific meetups will address: *Moxibustion, cupping, gua sha/Kirik *Mei Zen facial acupuncture.(Sometimes called "Acupuncture Face lift"). Meetup will discuss what it is, how it works, and what results can be expected. Meetup will include screening for suitability. * Reflexes and what they means in KM Style. Members can participate in an evaluation of their personal reflexes, discuss why they may have them and see what it takes to change them. Those who may not want to be evaluated for the edification of the group may make arrangements for a private reflex analysis at the end of the meetup, time permitting. *Gua Sha in the family. Gua Sha has been used successfully for centuries in the family to fight the common cold, flu, and muscular aches and pains, just to name a few applications. It uses simple tools that are easily acquired, and it is easy to learn- although it may take a lifetime to master! ( You don't have to be a master to get good results and reap the health benefits for your family). It is time to introduce this simple yet profound technique to the American mainstream. This meetup group will attempt to do just that. We will also discuss possible legal pitfalls when using Gua Sha with children and the elderly and what you can do to prevent misunderstandings in your community. This technique has many names in many countries, Gua Sha is but one name, another well known name is Kirik. Most people find it very pleasant and relaxing- somewhat on the level of a deep tissue massage. * Acupuncture and Western Medicine/ where does acupuncture fit in the big picture of your personal healthcare? * Topical discussions of Acupuncture and the symptoms of: Acute or chronic injuries from sports and martial arts training, Diabetes, Hypertension, Low blood pressure, Insomnia, Lung problems, Thyroid issues, Sinus problems, Heart conditions, Low platelet count, Cancer, COPD, Edema, Poor Circulation, Knee or Joint pain, Back Pain, Migraines and Headaches, Infertility, Stroke, Calf Pain or Spasms, Weight loss, Kidney disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Fatty Liver, Inflammation in the body, Musclular Spasms, Substance Abuse Cessation (cigarrette, alcohol, controlled or illegal substances): or any topic brought up during the meetup. ( The proceeding list is by no means complete, topics will be discussed in the order that most participants are interested in, there may be multiple sessions per topic, or multiple topics per session- time and interest permitting).

101135052 1337932 <p>More details to arrive for W&amp;W 2/1/13<br/>These guys are definitely not pure trance any more but regardless should be a good show.</p> <p><br/>DETAILS</p> <p>$20 General Admission<br/>FREE COVER before midnight with RSVP via website*<br/>$10 after midnight<br/>*RSVP via the website closes at 8pm day of the event<br/><a href="http://sound-bar.com/wandw-113/" class="linkified">http://sound-bar.com/wandw-113/</a></p> <p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/dostuff-production/photos/6395734/image.jpeg" /></p> <p> Introduction:<br/>What started as a chance meeting at the 2007 Trance Energy has, in just under 4 years, solidified into one of the freshest, most exciting electronic dance acts on the scene. With it has come a new multifarious trance sound that, globally, has begun to shatter underground clubs, arenas and festivals. Banding together under the name W&amp;W has seen the collective careers of Ward van der Harst &amp; Willem van Hanegem go into overdrive... As spinners they’ve delivered due damage to club nights and festivals and in both 2010 and 2011, their A-list-hammered track portfolio saw them conclusively tip the ‘next big thing’ scales. Now, in the new decade, W&amp;W are ready to rule.</p> <p>W&amp;W Productions:<br/>The serendipitous Trance Energy meet quickly bore their debut W&amp;W production, which came in the form of the mighty ‘Mustang’. ‘Arena’ followed up its freshman success and fast found the CDJs of luminaries like Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Sander Van Doorn &amp; Judge Jules. Tipped by Armin van Buuren as “the best up-and-coming production duo out there”, W&amp;W have continued to rock federation trance to its core with ‘Mainstage’, the Sean Tyas-remixed ‘D.N.A’ each bringing floors to critical mass. Followed by singles ‘Manhattan’, ‘Impact’, ‘AK-47’ and the very first vocal anthem ‘Three O’Clock’ featuring Ana Criado, W&amp;W is in excellent shape for debut album ‘Impact’. Remix-side, their voracious rewires have proved equally as popular - most notably on Armin’s ‘Rain’ and those of, Aly &amp; Fila, Allure, Marcel Woods &amp; others.</p> <p>DJs:<br/>Almost a year to the day since Willem &amp; Ward first shook hands they quickly took up the spinning mantle. That route has taken them to some of the most respected nights out there. Ones that have come to include Poland’s Sunrise Festival &amp; Entrance, Trance Energy, Tomorrowland, the A State Of Trance 450 and 500 gigs, Several Global Gatherings, Nature One and clubs like Ministry Of Sound London, The Guvernment Toronto &amp; Amnesia Ibiza to name a few.</p> <p>The Mainstage Radio Show:<br/>Now a regular standing fixture in the trance enthusiasts listening schedule, W&amp;W’s Mainstage radio show exports their diverse sound around the world every week. Mainstage is all about showcasing the freshest music and exposing new talent to the world. Broadcasting weekly on Sirius XM, Kiss FM (Ukraine), Dance Paradise Radio (Brazil) and bi-weekly on the renowned Afterhours FM. In and amongst the intriguing Mainstage ID feature, where every week they’ll be playing a track so hot-damn fresh-off-the-desk, it can’t even be named, you'll also now be able to vote in... Most Wanted! Through the fan forum you'll be able to pick you favorite track of the fortnight and vote on it. The winner will be duly crowned 'Most Wanted' on the following show. Mainstage is also available as a podcast on iTunes and can be heard over here: <a href="http://podcast.wandwmusic.nl/" class="linkified">http://podcast.wandwmusic.nl/</a></p> <p>W&amp;W<br/>www.wandwmusic.com<br/>www.facebook.com/wandwofficial<br/>www.twitter.com/wandwmusic<br/>www.youtube.com/wandwmusic<br/><a href="http://soundcloud.com/wandw" class="linkified">http://soundcloud.com/wandw</a><br/><a href="http://dj.beatport.com/wandw" class="linkified">http://dj.beatport.com/wandw</a></p> <p><span>Hi Everyone,</span></p> <p><span>CTF is an initiative created to nurture and to promote the Chicago progressive ho</span><span>use, trance and EDM music scene development.

10113529 130643 <p>Please Join Rohi and Giten of Energy Of Breath Institute for a fun stress-relief evening as they have just returned from the Osho International Meditation Resort in Pune, India! You will have the opportunity to release tension from your body and become grounded and energized with special breath techniques, powerfully magnified with Reiki energy. We will start the evening by activating Reiki all together, and then experience a bioenergetic grounding warm up. We will then breathe into different energy centers in the body to unblock and release physical tension and emotional stress. The type of breathing we do is called Trance-Energetic Breathing, and it is different from yogic breathing. It is easy to do and is all about letting go of control and enjoying our bodies. You will feel expanded states of consciousness through this work--a deep space of meditation that arises naturally out of breathing in this way. You need not already be working with breath or Reiki to attend. We look forward to seeing you! Rohi and Giten are the Directors of Energy Of Breath Institute in NYC, home of the BioDynamic Breathwork Practitioner Training. They are also teachers in the Multiversity at the OSHO International Meditation Resort in Pune, India. Students worldwide experience deep personal transformation by participating in their work.

More than this nature cannot do. It has done enough. It has given you life, it has given you opportunity; now how to use it, it has left up to you. Meditation is your freedom, not a biological necessity. You can learn in a certain period of time every day to strengthen meditation, to make it stronger – but carry the flavor of it the whole day"-OSHO</p> <p><img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/a/d/f/event_16206879.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left"></img></p> <p>If you want to live a more fulfilled life, first you will want to know your potential, who you really are. Meditation is the route to that knowing. It is the methodology of the science of awareness.</p> <p>The beauty of the inner science is that it enables whoever wants to explore and to experiment within, to do so alone. This eliminates dependence on an outer authority, the need to be affiliated with any organization and the obligation to accept a certain ideology. Once you understand the steps, you walk the walk in your own, individual way.</p> <p>Many meditative techniques require one to sit still and silent. But for most of us accumulated stress in our bodymind makes that difficult. Before we can hope to access our inner powerhouse of consciousness, we need to let go of our tensions.<img src="http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/a/d/e/event_16206878.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left"></img></p> <p>The Osho Active Meditations that we do are scientifically designed by an enlightened master by name Osho, over a period of time to enable us to consciously express and experience repressed feelings and emotions, and learn the knack of watching our habitual patterns in a new way. <br></br><br></br><br></br><br></br>===============================</p>

We decided to invite up to 18 people and right now we have new members who will be joining our group and be apart of this special event. He and I will be cooking chicken soup with Matzah balls, turkey, brisket, gefilte fish,and the rest of the side dishes and deserts will be a pasach pot luck. You must rsvp by Tuesday so we could include you in this wonderful evening of special prayer, food, and fun. Brad has a beautiful home and we will also have other events at his home coming up. The cost of this dinner will be 25.00 and this will cover the kosher meats that I will be purchasing for our dinner. We will also have the excitement of a special tour of his solar energy home that he designed and I must say his house is quite amazing. I look forward to being with anyone who would like to attend this wonderful and hamisha event in the comfort of a warm and friendly home.

10114335 1189845 <p>Never danced salsa before but always wanted to learn? Now is your chance! No partner is necessary. Each lesson starts with the basics and ends with hot spins!</p> <p>Salsa lessons will be taught by Todd Chen, whose foray into the salsa world began with one bad date. He was invited to a salsa club by his date, but ended up watching from the sides as other dancers skillfully turned and maneuvered his date across the dance floor. Though Todd had 6 years experience performing, teaching, and choreographing hip hop, salsa was unfamiliar territory for him. This incident led to his decision to take classes with the legendary Eddie Torres, who is accredited with inventing and popularizing dancing salsa On2. He has been organizing salsa parties and teaching people to dance salsa since that day. <a href="http://salsa.meetup.com/419/pages/TODD_BIOGRAPHY/">You can read more about Todd's background in his bio</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=1505781">CLICK THIS LINK TO PRE-PAY FOR THIS EVENT ONLINE</a></p> <p>Please RSVP so we can accommodate you and your guests.

Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves." <br /> - John Muir</em> </p> <p> <br />We are a group of hiking friends who enjoy exploring the mountains. We hike and backpack the many beautiful trails in the Northeast - the Harriman, Hudson, Kittanies, Gunks, Taconics, Catskills, Adirondacks and beyond.</p> <p>We also have the passion for photography. We love taking pictures and sharing our experiences through our photos as much as we enjoy hiking the high peaks.</p> <p>This meetup is primarily open to our network of hiking friends and acquaintances. One can initially join as guest of, and/or by invitation from regular members. Guest members will become full members once they have done two major day hikes with us and have shown great interest with the group, or will be taken out if inactive after a certain period.</p> <p>Bear in mind that our major hikes are moderate to strenuous, with a rise of 1,000ft or more, and a total distance of at least 6miles. You must have good hiking experience or are working to promote your skills so you can enjoy our hikes and get rewarded with those amazing sights.</p> <p>We believe that a more connected membership generates more goodwill and fun for all. And we would like to grow that way. We will limit the group size to promote group cohesiveness. Our core team will set the guidelines for the best way to move the group forward.</p> <p>So, if you are fun, friendly and have set yourself goals to explore the mountains, then you are in. Put on your hiking shoes, grab your camera, and join us as we discover nature's beauty around us and at the high peaks!</p> <p>Read more about us&nbsp; <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NortheastHighPeaks/about/"></a> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NortheastHighPeaks/about/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NortheastHighPeaks/about/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NortheastHighPeaks/about/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/NortheastHighPeaks/about/</a></p>
10114682 83211 <p>Welcome to the monthly Indie Film Meetup!</p> <p>A few days before the Meetup, a poll will be posted with the current film schedule to gauge the top films that the group is interested in. We will meet in the lobby to introduce ourselves, figure out how many groups we're going to split into, and buy tickets.</p> <p>The next part is very difficult. We will enter the movie theater, find seats, and make small talk until the movie begins. Afterward, join us at a local eatery to discuss the films that we saw, and make some new friends.</p> <p>Most films start around the same time. <b>It is important that you arrive on time so we can discuss our plan for the night, where we're going afterward, and get seats together</b>. For latecomers, it may be difficult to find the group once we have gone into the theaters.</p> <p>The Landmark Century Centre Cinema is located at the intersection of N. Clark St and Diversey Pkwy. Parking is available in the adjacent garage for $5.00 (four hours), remember to get your ticket validated at the theater.

To boldly dance, tap our toes, or nod our heads to whatever live music we can find in the Berlin area. Some times your favorite band comes through and no one else you know wants to check them out, or a music festival sounds likefun but you dont want to go by yourself. This group was created to help you find a wing person for those gigs. This is just the beginning so all ideas are welcome. If you know of a great DJ, band, drum circle, break dance battle, themed dance party, club, bar, whole in the wall or free jam session feel free to suggest it as a meetup. This group is for lovers of all genres of music.</p>

101148462 4293362 <p>After the really great first Introduction to programming in python back in September and many Mini-Python workshops on specific topics, we decided to rerun the starter workshop to enable more people without coding skills yet, to join the fun. So if you are interested to getting introduced to programming with the great <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/turtle.html">PythonTurtle</a> workshop we've prepared for you, please sign up.</p> <p>You will need to bring your own laptop in order to participate with a recent python (2.7) installed. If you have a recent Mac or Linux, it is pre-installed, you are covered. If you are running Windows, please let the organizers know in advance, so they can help you set it up.</p> <p>The space is wheelchair accessible; please call the mobile number posted at the door so we can send down the elevator for you. If you have any special needs, please don't hesitate to let us know.</p> <p>Because the number of seats is limited, it is important that you only sign up if you definitely plan on coming (and do so, too!). <b>If you can't make it for any reason, please cancel your attendance on Meetup right away so your someone on the waiting list can take your place.</b> Thanks!</p> <p> </p> <p><span>OpenTechSchool is a community initiative offering free programming workshops and meetups to technology enthusiasts of all genders, backgrounds, and experience levels. It supports volunteer coaches in setting up events by taking care of the organizational details, encouraging coaches to create original teaching material. This material is then openly shared online and can be further developed by contributions from the global OTS community. OTS’ main goal is to create a friendly learning environment where no one feels shy about asking any question. Everyone is invited to participate, whether as a coach or a learner, and get in contact to organize OTS events anywhere in the world.</span></p>

101150252 2763092 <p>Hi everyone,<br/>I would like to invite you guys to my place for a fun round of Cosmic Encounter. It is a light game (few rules) with loads of interaction going on. It is a game of strategy, negotiation and bluffing that plays like a chaotic party game. It includes surprising counter moves and special abilities for each player.</p> <p>The game is best with 5 players. Including me, that is the max. number of participants for the evening. I will send the adress to everyone on saturday.</p> <p>My gaming history: I got into complex boardgames 3 years ago. Usually I would say: the more complex, the better. Nowadays, I am looking more for shorter games, that offer direct interaction and require communication between players. Cosmic Encounter goes in that direction. I haven't played it yet, just ordered; it will most likely be there on saturday.<br/>If not, I have many other games that we can play. See you on saturday.</p> <p>Here is a link to the game:<br/><a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39463/cosmic-encounter" class="linkified">http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39463/cosmic-encounter</a></p> <p>I think the ridiculous title of this group says it all. This group is all about meeting fellow gaming- enthusiasts and having a fun, laid back time over your favorite board games! I hope that this group enables you to meet new people from a variety of social and cultural backgrounds, as well as learn new games and teach others your favorite games!</p> <p>So how should you use this group? Well I want to keep this introduction short, so you should head over to "Discussion #1: How to use this group" to learn more. I hope to see you soon!</p>

10115293 367352 <p>Sushi somehow brings people together in a fun way. We always have a great time, and it's a great group for new members. This place is recommended through Menupages.com. Here are what people are saying:</p> <p>"Tribeca has become so trendy that it is refreshing to have a neighborhood spot that is so laid back and friendly. The fish is very good and fresh. The service is great and overall it is the perfect "I don't feel like cooking, lets go out to eat" Very simply prepared nothing too fancy but never lets you down. A staple for our family"</p> <p>"I don't live in Tribeca but I love sushi and I wanted to try somewhere different. I picked this place based on the great reviews alone. The only thing I didn't like about it was that they don't have a liquor liscense so I couldn't get my hot sake which was disappointing. However, it was made up for by the fabulous fish. Everything melts in your mouth. Absolutely amazing. My thoughts of being sakeless dissapated as more yummy fish was brought to the table. I would definitely go out of my way to eat here again! Try it for yourself!"</p> <p>"What defines Tokyo Bay as favorite is the fact that the food is alway amazing! With all the choices NY and my neighborhod offer I still will go dinner there 3 days a week and can still go more! Love the athmosphere of really intimate well cared for trully japanese style."</p> <p>Our goal is to provide opportunities for people in and around the city to experience various sushi spots.

Kunlun is a reset process that is a part of your body already. When you do the method you activate that process. Whatever your body determines you need to do to realign your natural energy flow, will happen. For more information&lt;br /&gt;</p> <p>The first level opens the body's nervous system, which is comprised of 72,000 nerves or nadis. The result of this opening is the awakening of the golden dragon, or magnetic body.</p> <p>The second level involves breath retention practice that generates and circulates the body's magnetic field, removes impurities and awakens the brain's dormant potentials.</p> <p>The third level composes of the "waterfall" meditation that brings the practitioner back to the physical level of being. This part is for calming and relaxing the body, mind and spirit of a person.</p> <p>The end result of Kunlun Spontaneous Nei Gung system is to awaken the practitioner's magnetic potentials, the "bliss-body", the expression of the dormant potential of the mind, and to understand the one law that governs all matter, energy, and form.</p> <p>This practice is not written in any form. It is an oral tradition and must be transferred from teacher to student by a "mind-to-mind" form of initiation. There are hidden keys given to the practitioner after each level of practice is mastered.</p> <p>For more information please visit our website <a href="http://Meetandgrow.com">Meetandgrow.com</a>.<br/>There is no cost to attend the meeting. There are charges by meetup.com to keep this siteup, we suggest that you donate $1 every week.</p> <p><br/>Session 2:<br/>You dont need to be a yoga expert. We will do simple steps that can help us reduce stress, relax our body/mind and make us aware of ourselves.</p> <p>If you have never done meditation we will introduce to a a very simple style, of just observing your breath and counting from 1- 10.

10115374 367352 <p>Sushi somehow brings people together in a fun way. We always have a great time, and it's a great group for new members.</p> <p>This place is recommended through Menupages.com. Here are what people are saying:</p> <p>"Homey and Cosy: The food at Chiyono was delicious. The tiny restaurant is hard to notice along 6th Street, but its interior is authentically Japanese, with most of the seating at one long table. The waitress was attentive, and Chef Chiyono came out of the kitchen to personally discuss the meal with my date and me. Prices were reasonable for NYC."</p> <p>"Amazing Place: I agreed with Christine.. This place is a hidden gem. It's a place to go for real Japanese home style food. You will find everything so delicious and enjoyable. The atmosphere is great as well. Highly recommended."</p> <p>"After reading a NYT review about Chiyono I decided I must try it out- I am so happy I did. I have been back numerous times. This is one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants that I have been to in NY. Cant wait for my next trip back!"</p> <p>Our goal is to provide opportunities for people in and around the city to experience various sushi spots. We will organize mainly dinners, both at restaurants and perhaps in our homes. Some can just eat, but others might also want to learn how to make sushi. Either way, we will have fun!</p> <p>We will have dinners every ten days, alternating between more expensive and budget sushi spots. These places will generally be determined by YOU through our polls section or recommendations.</p> <p>Eat sushi and be happy!</p> <p>Damien</p>

Our group will meet right next to the outdoor skate park.</p> <p>The distance and pace will be determined by the runners. We usually do a 9:00- 10:00 min pace, depending on how far we go. We usually run anywhere between 6-11 miles. There is a turnaround at mile 3 for those who don't want to go as far. Also, if 6 miles is too far there is another turn around at mile 1.5. My goal for this run is for it to be a very casual and easy run. The point is to make some new friends and get in a nice run while doing that.</p> <p>I hope some of you will be able to join me and motivate me to get out of bed. We will meet at 9am at the large parking lot right by the outdoor skate park.

101160962 1514451 <p>What is a TurnOn Event?<br/>TurnOn: [turn on] v. sensations occurring in the body</p> <p>Increased body heat<br/>Tingling and chills<br/>Flushing cheeks<br/>Feeling of being awake and alive<br/>At OneTaste, we believe TurnOn is the ignition that leads to a more of what we really want in life. It is the first step to knowing what's possible. And, it comes when we get real about the powerful stuff of relationships, Orgasm, intimacy, desire, etc.</p> <p>So, we started an evening event designed specifically to give people the opportunity to feel TurnON in themselves. It's an evening where, through only talking, we begin to experience these exhilarating, energizing, often ignored feelings -- referred to as TurnON. A room of people (cool, fun people) engage in honest, humorous, playful conversation around topics we mostly only consider having in our head.</p> <p>Through 3 guided, round-robin style games, express yourself and gain new (and maybe surprising) insight into yourself and others. Fear, longing, taboo, love... Be with others who are willing to express it openly and be seen for who they really are. It's like a giant exhale when the rest of the world is asking you to hold it in.</p> <p>For a taste of the evening's games, check out this clip from a recent episode on the Chopra Network:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OWkv9zms4E&amp;list=SPF72E690B227EFAC1&amp;feature=player_embedded" class="embedded">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OWkv9zms4E&amp;list=SPF72E690B227EFAC1&amp;feature=player_embedded</a></p> <p>TurnOn leads to authenticity AND authenticity leads to the kind of connection we hope for around the globe.

10116165 463364 <p>Hi All,</p> <p>Many practitioners use Reiki as the basis of a spiritual practice, or to augment other spiritual practices. The cornerstone of Reiki spiritual practice is a daily one hour self-treatment, conducted in a meditative frame of mind. As well as maintaining physical, mental and emotional well-being, this practice is understood to induce spiritual growth, potentially leading to self-realization.</p> <p>This Thursday will be our Reiki Meetup.

101162552 5616472 <p>I know it is going to be cold but it will be absolutely beautiful in the snow. We will hike from a parking lot that has no trails nearby shown on the map, but lots of hidden gems. Hike will be on and off trails, paved roads that may or may not be plowed, and woods roads. We will visit Good Spring Mountain (another Harriman 100 Highest?!) , some kids camps, an old hotel, Mr. Harriman's dentist's house, a choo-choo and maybe even Sutter's famous chair. All stuff most of you have never seen and can only be visited in the off season.  Hike will be 7 to 8 miles depending on conditions at a moderate pace.  Not too many hills.</p> <p>Cold Weather requires that you have the appropriate clothing and gear. Waterproof boots and hiking socks required. Gaiters required to keep snow out of boots. Traction aids recommended but we will try to keep away from iced over trails. Long underwear recommended. Warm gloves and handwarmers recommended. If you are not an experienced in cold weather, this weekend is not the best one to start.  There is still plenty of snow on the ground, plus new snow coming.</p> <p>This hike is accessible via the Short Line bus that leaves Port Authority at 8:30 a.m. If you are coming by bus, contact me. Buy a one way ticket and we either try and get you a ride back or drop you off in Suffern where there are a few more options.</p> <p><span>The Hiking Committee of the NY-North Jersey Chapter of AMC has something for everyone who loves to explore the outdoors on foot.

10116354 287576 <p>So I'm going to try something new that's worked for other groups in the past. I plan to meet once a month, maybe even more often, at a bar around the city.</p> <p>We'll talk about Linux, what we're doing, network, etc. The first event of this series I'll hold at the Hop Devil Grill (there's a Hop Devil Lounge next door that we might migrate to - it's actually connected through a door in the middle)</p> <p>These guys are pretty strict about ID, so make sure you bring proper ID or else you probably won't get in. I'm limiting this to 15 to start,</p> <p>Please note, this meetup has merged with NYLUG (New York Linux Meetup Group).</p> <p>All events will be scheduled on NYLUG's meetup page here (Please join if you are interested):</p> <p>http://www.meetup.com/nylug-meetings/</p> <p>Here are a couple links with more info on NYLUG:<br> <span>- http://www.nylug.org/<br> </span>- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NYLUG</p> <p><br> Historical description:<br> GNU and Linux are two of the most prominent examples of free software development. In the spirit of community-built software, twice a month we get the local community together to discuss topics of free, libre and open source software, the GNU/Linux operating system, ways to engage in the free software movement, and projects we are involved in. The NYC GNU/Linux meetup is a diverse group. The regulars are both from the free software community, and curious uninitiated. The meetup is a great way to get to know other GNU/Linux users, and professionals, and a nice way to bring local to a largely internet connected community.</p>

10116449 1144488 <p>Stony Hill Players Present<br/><b>Run For Your Wife</b> by Ray Cooney.</p> <p>The story of an ordinary London cab driver John Smith, with two wives (Mary and Barbara), two lives and a very precise schedule for juggling them both. With one wife at home in Streatham and another at home in Wimbledon, and with occupants of the flat upstairs at the latter location.</p> <p>Trouble brews when One night John stops an old women from getting mugged and <i>he</i> ends up in hospital, where both of his addresses surface, causing both the Streatham and Wimbledon police to investigate.</p> <p>Having upset his schedule, Smith becomes hopelessly entangled in his attempts with his lazy layabout neighbor upstairs in Wimbledon, to explain himself to his wives and two suspicious police officers.</p> <p>This play is a fast paced, slapstick, laugh a minute romp that leaves you in stitches and begging for more.</p> <p>Escape for awhile in the romance of Beauty and the Beast, the fantasy of Wicked, the comedy of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels...well, you get the point. We are a group designed for those who enjoy seeing a great show, a new band, or the latest comedy act. We will be exploring the theaters of NJ as well as an occasional jaunt to NYC.</p>
10116480 1426465 <p>***CHANGED FROM MAY 10TH TO MAY 17TH DUE TO MOTHER'S DAY****<br/>(Much thanks to Liz for pointing it out. Sorry for forgetting, everyone.)<br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>I couldn't think of a better book for us to discuss as summer nears than "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. If you are unfamiliar with it, it takes place on Long Island during the wealthy, glittering, Roaring Twenties. Here is a review from Amazon.com:</p> <p>In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple + intricately patterned." That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned, and above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.</p> <p>If you want to buy the book online, you can get it pretty easily at sites like <a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon</a> and <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com">Barnes and Noble</a>.</p> <p>If you have or can get a library card for the Ramapo/Catskill Library System (includes Rockland County), you can check its availability online: <a href="http://www.rcls.org">www.rcls.org</a></p> <p>If you have or can get a Bergen County library card, you can check its availability online: <a href="http://www.bccls.org">www.bccls.org</a></p> <p>Meet kindred book lovers in the Bergen/Rockland County area. While we occasionally read modern classics (Lolita, Catch-22), we read mostly classic works written before 1950 (check our calendar to sample our book selection). We emphasize novels and plays important within the history of literature or have some historical interest. We have friendly, topical discussions about what we enjoyed, didn't enjoy, and found interesting in our reading while making some literate friends in the process. GROUP MEMBERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUGGEST BOOKS FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION (just post <a href="http://www.meetup.com/MostlyClassicsBookClub/messages/boards/thread/6641657">here, in our message board discussion</a>). We have book discussions on the SECOND SUNDAY EACH MONTH. Please come join us as often as you can.</p> <p>Some quick notes about the meetings:</p> <p>*It is fine to come to the meeting if you have read some of the book, a summary of the book, or have only seen the movie.</p> <p>*Please change your RSVP from a “yes” to a “no” if it turns out you can’t make it. It is the polite thing to do.</p> <p>*Although you do not need to complete the book in order to participate, the scheduled reading is the main priority. The focus is on the book.</p> <p>More information on the meetup is available <a href="http://www.meetup.com/MostlyClassicsBookClub/about/">here at our FAQ page.</a></p>

10116592 236201 <p>Announcing our May event: a member social &amp; nightclub party at 49 Grove, featuring a moderated debate with the author of The God Virus.</p> <p><b>Agenda</b><br/>6 PM - 10:30 PM: Socialize, Drink (drink specials all evening)<br/>7:30 - 9 PM: Author Debate in VIP Lounge<br/>9 - 10:30 PM: Meet-and-Greet, Discussions with the Author</p> <p><br/>The author of The God Virus, Dr. Darrel Ray, is the featured guest.</p> <p><b>The Debate</b></p> <p>We have a special program for the evening -- a debate on whether the concept of God is viral in nature. Is belief in God a virus, infecting people with faith and inhibiting their mental functions? Or do people have good reasons to believe God exists, and function cognitively -- and behaviorally -- as well if not better with faith? Moreover, what are the behavioral implications of belief in God?</p> <p>Debater: Dr. Darrel Ray, Author, The God Virus.<br/>Debater: John Broughton, Founder, New York Philosophy<br/>Moderator, Michael De Dora Jr., Executive Director, Center for Inquiry<br/>Moderator, Rich Sander, Founder, Richie's List</p> <p><br/>A portion of the debate will include questions/participation from the audience.</p> <p><br/><img src="http://www.manhattanpromotions.com/images/venues/49_grove/2.jpg" /></p> <p><br/><b>The God Virus</b></p> <p>About "The God Virus": The idea that religion is like an infection that damages or shuts off certain mental abilities is not new, but in The God Virus: How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture, author Dr. Darrel Ray brings it down to a practical level.</p> <p>Dr. Ray explains that the methods by which religions propagate in society bear a remarkable resemblance to the way viruses, parasites, and bacterial diseases propagate.In some cases, biological diseases infect the brain and direct the infected organism’s behavior. Religions also seem to infect mental functions, Ray asserts, and direct behavior in ways not necessarily good for people.</p> <p>Books will be available for purchase <a href="http://www.amazon.com/God-Virus-religion-infects-culture/dp/0970950519/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1238884269&amp;sr=8-1"><b>online</b></a> and at the event.</p> <p><br/><img src="http://www.manhattanpromotions.com/images/venues/49_grove/1.jpg" /></p> <p><br/><b>About 49 Grove</b></p> <p>49 Grove is VERY easy to get to, and if you have never been there before, you are in for a treat! It is a fun, upscale West Village nightclub. Click on the '49 Grove' link above to see the Google Map of how best to get there; it is close to the 1 line (at Christopher) and the A, B, C, D, E, F, V lines (at West 4th). Essentially get to Christopher and 7th Ave and walk one block west on Grove St.</p> <p>This place normally has expensive drinks (West Village, you know), but we have negotiated event drink specials for the evening (see below). These prices are incredible for this type of club. Please give the club lots of business so we can keep coming back on special occasions!</p> <p>Please dress to impress! This is an elegant club and a very social group of people having fun on a Friday night, so look sharp!</p> <p><b>Drink Specials</b></p> <p>$5 Beer Specials (all evening)<br/>$7 Wine Specials (all evening)<br/>$7 Vodka Specials (all evening)</p> <p><br/><b>49 Grove Reviews</b></p> <p>From the Zagat Review:</p> <p>A devilishly "dark" replacement for Halo, this Village club attracts "clique-y" nightcrawlers into a "low-ceilinged grotto" equipped with "comfortable couches" and "carpeted" floors (to absorb the sticker shock).</p> <p>From the Citysearch Review:</p> <p>To compete, this lounge promises patrons access to Mercedes S500s, a handpicked wine list, inventive cocktails, plus extravagant munchies of caviar and foie gras.

101171722 1729895 <p>Now that the weather is getting really cold (feels like 5 degrees today, ugh), being indoors is the only place I want to be.  So what better time of year to head to a museum.  On Friday, February 22nd, We will be heading to the</p> <p><b>RUBIN MUSEUM</b></p> <p>The admission to the Rubin Museum galleries is free every Friday night from 6-10pm, and there is no cover charge to the K2 Lounge. At K2 they have a special Pan Asian tapas menu and a selection of distinctive cocktails, with live DJs, and 2 for 1 drink specials from 6-7pm.

Do you enjoy meeting new people, and making new friends? Do you love making a difference? If this sounds like you, then you have come to the right place!</p> <p>This group is for young professional women, in their 20-30's, who are confident, fun, and love being a woman (and all its perks! ;) ). You can be single or coupled, new to NY or born and raised here, but ultimately a chic chick that loves to have a good time!</p> <p>What I want this group to be about are three things:</p> <p>1. Going to great events, such as beautiful lounges/clubs, red carpet screenings, launch events, cocktail receptions/opening nights, cultural events, or any other event where we can See or Be Seen, mix, mingle, and network with those in all different industries. Basically, any occasion to get dolled up, and put on a cute outfit!</p> <p>2. Establishing great friendships. I figure if we are like minded, totally normal females, we shouldn't have any trouble making some great connections. We can do that by doing brunch, happy hours, spa days, and anything else we feel like. This is our group, we can do what we want!</p> <p>3. Getting involved in making a difference. I have this dying need to get involved in the community, raise money for charities, and just help out those in need. I would love to plan events for a specific cause, or work with other organizations to reach a goal. And ideally, maybe even start a NPO. The possibilities are endless!</p> <p>If this is what you are looking for, I would absolutely love it if you joined this group. So if you like to See or be Seen, you might as well do so while making a difference!</p>

It is Finnerty's on 2nd ave between 13th and 14th. You can see the 49er flag waving prouding outside of it. They play all our games with sound. It has a lot of space and great bartenders. It is a great time and I hope to see you there.</p>

101177962 4252482 <p>Hello everyone. I hope you can make it to our February Reiki Meetup. It's always so wonderful to connect with everyone. Feel free to bring a snack to share.</p> <p> </p> <p>Remember no Reiki experience is necessary.</p> <p> </p> <p>Love and light,</p> <p>Lisa</p> <p>This group will bring Lightworkers together to channel healing energy to the planet and to ourselves. Although this group is open to anyone, it is particularly focused on bringing those of us who live in the south side of Chicago together for the betterment of our communities and our planet.  A Lightworker is anyone who has a longing to bring healing and positive transformation to our world. A lightworker isn't perfect and understands that one of the most important things they can do is to continue to do their own inner healing.</p> <p>We will host monthly meetings where we will bring our focused intention to channel healing energy to specific areas of need, both for ourselves and the planet. The meetings might include meditation, prayer (non denominational), sacred chanting, reiki, and other tools that will elevate our energy in positive and non intrusive ways.</p>

We strive for adventures, fun, and friendships. This group is for people who enjoy hiking, being outdoors and meeting new people. We feature hikes for all skill levels, canoeing, camping, biking, social gatherings and other outdoor activities. These events are a great way to get out, meet people, and smell some fresh air. If you have a suggestion, please feel free to contact the Organizer or post them on “ideas for meetup” on the calendar page. Most of the activities are pretty tame, but any participation in this group is at your own risk. If you want to meet fun and adventurous people, this group is for you. Come join us. It will be an adventure you won’t soon forget.</p> <p>Adventures are closer than you think!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Get Involved:</strong></p> <p>We need Assistant Organizers and Event Hosts! If you don't see your preferred activity listed or a hike on your side of town, please volunteer by contacting the Organizer! You might be surprised just how many people are looking to do the same activity that you are. Other ways to volunteer would be a Greeter (Greet new members as they join the group.) or Monthly News Letter Editor (Write articles for a Monthly News Letter to be published on the message board.). We welcome Event &amp; Group Sponsors who need some publicity for a great price!</p> <p>Why not become a Hike Leader?</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Monthly Photo Contest:</strong></p> <p>We are having a Monthly Photo Contest. You have 1 month to upload your favorite photo. At the end of the month, the Assist Organizers will pick the top 12. We will then have a poll for voting on these 12. The members will be able to rate each picture from 1 to 10 rating. The photo with the highest ratings at the end of this month will win. This photo will then be used as the open page picture for following month. The only thing you receive are bragging rights.</p> <p>Upload January Photos Here: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/</a><br> Please name the photo and leave a comment about the photo.</p> <p>So why not amaze the rest of the members with you photography skills?</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>100 Miles Club and 200 Miles Club:</strong></p> <p>Are you looking for a Goal to reach? We have two clubs for you. You join the 100 Miles Club when you reach 100 Miles hiking a year with this group only (Chicago Hiking, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group). You join the 200 Miles Club when you reach 200 Miles hiking a year with any Meetup Groups (Windy City Hikers, this group, etc.). Your Meetup Names will be posted in the About Section in this group.</p> <p>Let’s start counting those miles!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Dues and Fees:</strong></p> <p>There are no membership dues to be part of this group. For prepay events, we will sometimes add up to three dollars, normally 1 to 2, to the payment to help out with the Meetup.com monthly fees.</p> <p>For other events, example hikes, we suggest a 1 or 2 dollar donation at the start of the event. This is totally voluntary. No records will be kept for who donates and who doesn’t.</p> <p>If you want to make a voluntary donation. Go to the top of this page and click on "Pay Online". Enter the amount you would like to donate. Donate any amount you like. This will be paid with Paypal.</p> <p>We would personally prefer if people would donate their time as an Assistant Organizer or Hike Leader versus making a donation of money. Any help is very much appreciated.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p>Other Recommended Outdoors Meetup Groups: If events are full on this group, why not see what these groups are up to.</p> <p> </p> <p>The NW Burbs Camping Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/NWBurbs-Camping/</a></p> <p>Southwest Suburbs Sports, Outdoors, &amp; Social Meetup Group<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/SWBurbsSOS/</a></p> <p>Chicago Camping &amp; Outdoors Adventure Group</p> <p><a href="http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoCampers/">http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoCampers/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Please support Outdoors Meetup Groups!</p> <p>---------------------------------------</p> <p>See you on the trail!</p> <p>Kevin</p> <p>PS: Tell a Friend about us!</p> <p>Come find us on Facebook:<br> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gid=251355911863#/group.php?v=info&amp;gid=251355911863" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=app_2373072738&amp;gi</a>...</p>

101182042 804306 <p>It's been too long. I'm jonesing for some awesome cutesy-named pizza and a thrilling game of wits. Stamford Trivia Meetup-ers assemble!</p> <p>Come together to play Trivia games in a variety of local pubs.  Eat, drink, answer questions based on your knowledge of what the uninformed often think to be useless information. Make friends and opponents, but most of all HAVE FUN!</p>
101182402 6820232 <p>I have proposed the date above for our first meeting. This group will likely be small, so it will be what we make it.  We will get together to discuss the peculiar and particular issues pertaining to writing stuff that most educated people do not seem to care about.  Perhaps that is because "philosophers," in their efforts to be a distinct profession, strives to maintain an air of incomprehensibility.  Or maybe it is because most traditional philosophers cannot write.  Whatever, I think we should all strive to make philosophy, especially if we have an original message of our own, accessible and intelligible to the average educated person.</p> <p>Do you enjoy stimulating conversation with other philosophical individuals?  Are you interested in publicizing your thoughts through some form of media?  If so, this might just be the group for you!</p> <p>We engage in deep conversations about various topics.  We also enjoy strategizing on how to successfully publish and promote our work.</p>

101185972 324099 <p>Welcome to Meat Week, the only national week-long holiday dedicated to the celebration of barbecued meats.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>[This is not a Meetup scheduled event.]</b></p> <p> </p> <p>It was a hot winter's day in Tallahassee Florida. Two bored co-workers, <a href="http://www.meatweek.com/captains#ChrisCantey">Chris Cantey</a> and <a href="http://www.meatweek.com/captains#ErniWalker">Erni Walker</a>, sat in an office pretending to edit video footage of an insurance seminar. To take a break from the monotony of escrow lectures, they decided to play with the random word generator on Chris's website. It summoned the holy combination of Meat-Week. They decided it would be a holiday during which BBQ was eaten every night of the week. It was scheduled for two Sundays later (the day after Sorcerer Day), which happened to be the last Sunday in January.</p> <p>As the coming event was hyped for the following week, friends laughed at the two prophets as though this was a joke. As the week actually arrived, many phone calls and emails ensued. "Hey, are you guys still doing that BBQ thing tonight?" The reply always came back affirmative. The nightly gathering gained steam, new friendships were forged and traditions evolved. When it ended as it began, at Sonny's Real Pit BBQ, everyone involved knew for sure that these traditions would last forever.</p> <p>And so it was that in the year of our meat, 2005, as ordained by the patron saint Sonny and materialized by the humble prophets Erni and Chris, that Meat Week descended from the cosmos and took its rightful place on the throne as The Holiday That Time Forgot. Welcome to It.</p> <p> </p> <p>Newcomer's Guide New to Meat Week? Let us be the first to extend a greasy hand. There are no rules to Meat Week, but there are a few traditions that have evolved over the years. Here's what you need to know:</p> <p> Schedule: The Captain &amp; First Mate publish a list of 7 different BBQ restaurants in their city. 8 Nights, (Sunday through Sunday) 7 restaurants, (both Sundays take place at Sonny's). In places without Sonny's, we celebrate the last night with a BYOBBQ at a gracious Meat Weeker's home, so everyone can pick up food from their favorite restaurant or grill their own. Best-Of's: Each captain organizes the voting for their own city, usually rounding up votes for the following categories: Best Sauce, Best Service, Best Sides, Best Atmosphere, and Best All-Around. To maintain a certain level of fairness, only those who have attended 4 nights or more are asked to vote. Meat Week Honors: Awards chosen by the leaders for those who have a special place in this year's Meat Week. These are usually different each year. Years past have included an award for the person who came every night or the one who had to walk the farthest to enjoy meat. Your best Meatographer might also receive an award. These are presented, along with the Best Ofs, on the last night. Meatography: A picture is taken of each individual person who attends, each night they attend. There is also a group photo taken beneath the restaurant's sign each night. Check out the <a href="http://www.meatweek.com/media/v/photos/">photo archives</a> for entertaining, sauce-stained poses. Hype Week: During the week leading up to Meat Week, those involved in and those excited about the coming meat storm create <a href="http://www.meatweek.com/media/v/hype/">graphical and video meat-hype</a> that is plastered about the Internet to warn others that "Meat Week cometh."  </p> <p>2013 Schedule<br/>New York, NY<br/>Captain: Vincent Tang<br/>First Mate: Mack Williams</p> <p>1/27 Fort Reno Provisions (Park Slope)  5pm<br/>1/28 Fatty 'Cue (West Village) Asian fusion 'cue!

We welcome musicians who wish to play this music or learn how to play it as well as fans who wish to see live shows by artists in this genre. New York City has a rich Celtic music scene and we meet several times a month to see live bands play, including local, national and international acts. We also meet regularly for open traditional Irish seisiuns, including the Tuesday night seisiun at Dempsey's, the longest-running open seisiun in New York, providing an opportunity for musicians in our group to become more active in the seisiuns. Whether you're interested in Irish traditional music, sean nos songs, classic Irish or Scottish folk, Celtic rock and punk or any other form of Celtic music, whether you like to play the music or just like to watch and listen, you should join this active, friendly and fun group. We welcome assistant organizers to help us hold even more events.</p>

101191912 2692682 <p>Hello Chicago Film Lovers,</p> <p>It's time for a war film! With the recent release of "Zero Dark Thirty", I'm inspired to choose a war film classic. It was between "Apocalypse Now" or "Full Metal Jacket". "Apocalypse Now" was chosen because it's easier get access to (on Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video) and it's slightly favored more by the critics. I promise we will have a Kubrick film to discuss in 2013! So this February we will talk about "Apocalypse Now". Again, I'm not picking a romantic film for February (last February I chose "Taxi Driver"). Hate stereotypes and being stuck in the "appropriate" genre.</p> <p>Regarding location, We'll be returning to Argo Tea.&gt;</p> <p>Look forward to seeing all of you on Wednesday, February 27th at 7:30 PM to talk about Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now"!</p> <p>Your proud to be organizer,</p> <p>Rebecca</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/d/6/2/event_198487522.jpeg" /></p> <p>If you are a film lover, and love talking about film, look no further, you've come to the right place!

10119240 19875 <p>Busse Woods Warm Up Ride - 8 mile loop (copied from JD)</p> <p>I am going to be at Busse Woods (Schaumburg / Arlington Hts / Elk Grove Village) to get some exercise after work.</p> <p>If you're new to cycling or just not in "top form" yet, this ride is designed for you, but if you're experienced, you can do this ride also.</p> <p>Busse Woods has an 8 mile loop, it's asphalt paved; so, you can use any type of bike on it. I am planning to get there and start riding in loops. If you are there before I start riding, I will ride with you. In fact, if we get enough people we will ride in "pairs". Each pair will break up according to desired speed. If you want to ride slow, then ride slow. If you want to ride fast, then ride fast. If I don't see you at the start, call my cell*. I will either stop and get you at my next loop, or try to hook you up with someone else who is there. Don't worry, you can hardly get lost, so long as you make only left (or right) turns only.<br/>Sunsets around 7:00, I will be there at 5:15 and leave at 5:30 sharp for the first loop</p> <p>You probably have time for two loops, depending on how fast you ride.</p> <p>*-cell will be published to the yes and maybe RSVP's only.</p> <p><br/>Weather<br/>If it rains (snows) hard or if there is lightening, I wont ride. If it's just a drizzle, I put on my rain gear and go.</p> <p>Watch for the weather forecast for temperatures and what to wear.</p> <p>General rule is that you will "feel" 20 degrees warmer when you're riding.</p> <p><br/>Location<br/>Busse Woods has several entrances. This particular one is off of Arlington Heights Road just north of Higgins across from the GM dealership.</p> <p>It is the park area where the Elk Grove actually is. If you go somewhere and don't see any Elk, you're in the wrong place.</p> <p><br/>Helmet and Waiver Required to Ride with the Group<br/>This year for CCM Rides, helmets will be required. You will sign a waiver as well.</p> <p>Without these, you will not be able to ride with the group. I will carry them with me.</p> <p><br/>Arriving Late?<br/>Go to the trail head, and turn left (south) and you ride along the Elk and then cross the bridge over Higgins Rd. and continue going around the circular loop in a clockwise direction. Follow the red arrows.</p> <p>We will have gone straight (north) and in a counter-clockwise direction.</p> <p>Within 20 minutes or less, you will run into a group of cyclists. When you see us, stop and turn around and follow us (I will make you sign the waiver at the next available stopping point.)</p> <p>my cell phone number is[masked]</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align : center"><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/1/6/e/event_20600846.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px"></img></p> <p>Casual Rides for fun all over the Chicagoland area.

Bulliet</b>, a preeminent scholar and author on the Middle East, reexamines most of the pieties of the West about the Muslim world and Islamic politics (and about the West itself) and finds them not only wrong, but wrongly conceived.

When we let go of our individual focus, we are able to experience the dynamics of life to a much greater extent. This allows us to move beyond the interpretation (understanding) of humans as objects in the physical world and thus experience humans from within. <br> <br> If we recognise that rather than meeting people, we encounter realities in which these people emerge, based on what they believe and defend, we develop a deeper compassion and understanding. We are aware that in this world we all wear a false smile. <br> <br> Once we begin to comprehend the inner experiences of others, and to create through our being, we make a quantum leap in our communication. We lift communication up to the next level of evolution. This helps us to acknowledge the true cause of many conflicts, looking beyond the symptoms to the root of the problem.<br> <br> Transparent Communication is a way of life in which different levels of consciousness as well as different levels of development and intelligence are included. It requires of us that we engage in an experientially oriented exploration of life. Only then will we truly learn to comprehend the world as a form of exchange in which we share a common space of interaction and learn to recognize the cosmic addresses of conscious content. We are in direct relationship rather than being distracted by symptoms. A high degree of interpersonal clarity is thus achieved, supporting our authentic expression, not to mention an expansion of the collective intelligence.<br> <br> This is the basis for a Higher WE.</p> <p> </p> <p>http://www.thomashuebl.com/</p> <p> </p>

10119814 1413952 <p>Somehow, through the passing of time and the re-writing of history, we have lost our divine legacy, or have simply turned a blind eye to the truth that we are spiritual beings in physical form. The Bible says that God created human beings in "our image, in our likeness . . . . male and female" God created them (NIV Genesis 1:26-27). This teaches us that God is not the proverbial old white man in the sky that so many of us grew up imagining God to be, but that each one of us are -- as Paul said -- temples of God, made in God's image and likeness. In Romans 8:9, the biblical witness said "Ye are not [merely] flesh, but... the Spirit of God dwells in you." In John 10:34-35, Jesus said, "it is not written in your law, I said, ye are Gods." In fact, Paul said that we "live and move, and have our being" in God (Acts 17:28). If we really believe that God made all of us in God's image and likeness, we should have no problem believing that each one of us, including the "brown girl", is a God, too. It is in this Spirit that I decided to share stories, during the Sunday services in March and April, from my book, God Is A Brown Girl, Too (© 2009) -- not to limit -- but to expand the notion of humanity's Oneness with God. If you live a meager existence that never seems to know you were born to create but simply satisfies itself with less; if you are tied to the belief that someone else is God, somebody, anybody besides you and you pray to him unceasingly to do all that you have the power to manifest; if you are tip-toeing around the periphery of something greater than you are -- no longer believing that you are creator of the shape and form and texture of everything in your midst, then you should come and join this new movement of Spirit!</p> <p><img src="http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/a/a/a/event_7819114.jpeg" style="max-height : 700px ; max-width : 700px ; margin : 5px ; float : left">SPIRITMUV is a community of like- minded people, dedicated to transformation and empowerment through spiritual development and awareness.</p> <p>God is Spirit, which transcends religion, race, ethnicity, and culture.</p> <p>Spirit is unlimited source, divine mind, infinite creativity, and continuous movement, constantly calling us to be an expression of love for all humanity.</p> <p>Where there is Spirit, like where there is Love, like where there is Faith, there is the Church.</p> <p>SPIRITMUV is a church that is dedicated to the self-empowerment of all people.

Do you enjoy meeting new people, and making new friends? Do you love making a difference? If this sounds like you, then you have come to the right place!</p> <p>This group is for young professional women, in their 20-30's, who are confident, fun, and love being a woman (and all its perks! ;) ). You can be single or coupled, new to NY or born and raised here, but ultimately a chic chick that loves to have a good time!</p> <p>What I want this group to be about are three things:</p> <p>1. Going to great events, such as beautiful lounges/clubs, red carpet screenings, launch events, cocktail receptions/opening nights, cultural events, or any other event where we can See or Be Seen, mix, mingle, and network with those in all different industries. Basically, any occasion to get dolled up, and put on a cute outfit!</p> <p>2. Establishing great friendships. I figure if we are like minded, totally normal females, we shouldn't have any trouble making some great connections. We can do that by doing brunch, happy hours, spa days, and anything else we feel like. This is our group, we can do what we want!</p> <p>3. Getting involved in making a difference. I have this dying need to get involved in the community, raise money for charities, and just help out those in need. I would love to plan events for a specific cause, or work with other organizations to reach a goal. And ideally, maybe even start a NPO. The possibilities are endless!</p> <p>If this is what you are looking for, I would absolutely love it if you joined this group. So if you like to See or be Seen, you might as well do so while making a difference!</p>

Meet with local teens, young adults and adults affected by Asperger's, autism, PDD-NOS, and related autistic spectrum and pervasive developmental issues. Both formally and self-diagnosed people attend regularly. We have several different groups around the Chicago area. We currently list support groups that meet in Barrington, Palos Hills, Naperville, Palatine, and downtown Chicago. We additionally have groups just for Women on the Spectrum and the LBGTQ Community on the Spectrum. In addition to the monthly support groups, we have more casual social activities. Keeping the needs of people with Asperger's in mind, these social outings periodically meet at various locations. We have also attended and tabled at a number of autism conferences around the Midwest. We are always looking for suggestions for future activities, discussion topics, and new groups. If you are looking for information on the GRASP Chicago group in Evanston, please visit http://www.grasp.org/res_sg.htm . *A parent or guardian must register teen members under 18, per Meetup regulations. *Please check the ages for each group before RSVPing.</p>
10120314 1387415 <p>This is our weekly meetup especially for beginners! The last beginner's event was just a great time- and it was lovely to meet some of you, share some guitar tips, and eat some chocolate chip cookies!</p> <p>This event is for beginning guitarists who'd like to meet other beginning guitarists in a cozy environment (like my livingroom). We'll work on common guitar issues together, and share favorite guitarist tips, and the like.</p> <p><b>The details:</b></p> <p>Schedule for the evening:</p> <p>7:00-7:30 - meet new people, have a few snacks, and relax</p> <p>7:30-8:30- there were a lot of "open chord" questions last time- so let's work on getting those open chords to sound</p> <p>8:30- on Q &amp; A time, continue snacking and playing with the group</p> <p>The cost</p> <p>The cost is $15 per person, and also covers all materials, food and drink (soda, juice, tea...). You will need to prepay to reserve your spot. We'll need at least 5 people to hold the meetup, but no more than 10- if you RSVP and the meetup is cancelled for any reason, you'll be fully refunded.</p> <p>This is a very good deal for this kind of event- especially as I'm such a good cook ;p (that is said in all humbleness to the professional chefs in the group).</p> <p>Thank you for all the e-mails, recommendations, input, and all your ideas that allow our group to succeed! We have a very friendly, diverse, and quickly growing group, so we'll try to have at least one event per month to suit your musical needs.</p> <p>Guitar lovers and guitarists - welcome to the NYC Guitar Group! </p> <p>The NYC Guitar Group is for everyone and everything guitar- to bring us all together as a guitar community: guitarists, guitar students, guitar teachers, guitar makers, guitar sellers, guitar technicians, songwriters, composers, guitar managers, and everyone who loves the sound of the guitar.  This group is for you.</p> <p>Even if you've never held a guitar before, come join us and discover a beautiful instrument!</p> <p>Our mission is to bring the whole guitar community together- to make each member stronger by providing opportunites to play, learn, and listen to great music.  We are more than individual guitarists playing alone- we are the NYC Guitar Group- a network of talented, encouraging, and supportive people, all united by music.</p> <p>We are here to play out loud- together.  We hope that you'll enjoy the NYC Guitar Group!</p> <p> </p>
10120323 559762 <p>We start from the very beginning with the basic and the progressive basic steps.</p> <p>Next, we learn to hear the beats of music in the measure. Then, we learn how to connect with, and communicate to, our partner through the movements of our body utilizing our dance frame. We apply this to dance Salsa with "On1" timing or "LA style" Salsa.</p> <p>We will teach you a right turn, a behind the back hand change, some cute combinations such as the matador with the styling of the hairbrush and the waterfall.</p> <p>In addition, you will learn the "connector move", the cross body lead.</p> <p>Then we will create a fun dance routine for you to use to practice our new moves and to take to the clubs to dance. We will show you how to put these all together so that you can move smoothly from one combination to another to make your dancing flow and get you out on the dance floor looking good!</p> <p>THIS CLASS IS FOR PEOPLE NEW TO SALSA AND FOR PEOPLE THAT KNOW SOME SALSA BUT WISH TO IMPROVE THEIR BASIC TECHNIQUE, PARTNER CONNECTION AND TIMING OR TO BEGIN LEARNING VARIOUS TURN COMBINATIONS.</p> We love Bachata!

101203892 1587536 <p>So last week was such a tremendous success, that even though its a bit last min, wanted to check out another series award contender, Beasts of the Southern Wild. It made a hell of a lot of critic top 10 lists this year, nice to see the Academy giving recognition to both the film &amp; it's child star actress (who, correct me if I'm wrong, may just be the youngest actress to ever get a best actress nom).</p> <p>*this is NOT the AMC theater we went to last week, but a smaller one that plays lesser known films a few blocks south. And it's the 11:40 showing on Sat!</p> <p><span><strong>20SOMETHING</strong> is a social events organization for young lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in New York City, aged 18 to 30. We meet every 4th Thursday of each month at 8pm at the LGBT Community Center on 208 West 13th Street.

10120398 223574 <p>Hey Everyone,</p> <p>Our next meeting is at Prairie Moon in Evanston.</p> <p>It's being pushed back a week due to Mother's Day falling on our normal Sunday.</p> <p>You DO NOT want to try and hit that place on Mother's Day without having a mom in your party. Trust me.</p> <p>There are scheduled to be 3 or 4 sessions running and we can accommodate a good number of folks:</p> <p><b>Brightbanner: Dying Earth meets Song of Fire and Ice is run by Terry </b></p> <p>The Brightbanner Party is Off in a pine forest surrounded by barbarians and hunted by a HUGE Spider Demon.</p> <p>[B]BMonte Cook's City of Ptolus mega adventure is run by Betsy</b></p> <p>It's possible that the PC's in Ptolus found themselves in the middle of an Arthur Conan Doyle novel and then Ghosts with pistols showed up...</p> <p><b>Barbarian Princess Showdown</b></p> <p>I think Dara may have another session of blood thirsty barbarian heiresses cutting a path to glory one long bejeweled dagger at a time.</p> <p>There may even be more games depending on how many folks we get.</p> <p><b>Mysterious Murder Mirage and the Maniacal Mad Mulluhs</b></p> <p>This is something cool cooked up by the cagey carnivore of credible conceptual cleverness, Geoffrey.</p> <p><br/>Players - Bring dice and an open mind.<br/>Bring characters too, if you like but we have pregens. The types of characters are mentioned on the group message boards.</p> <p>Please try and remember that Prairie Moon is public place. They really like having us too so lets remember the rules:</p> <p><br/>1) Arrive as close to noon as possible (makes it easier for your DMs)<br/>Some folks get there around 11:30 to order lunch.</p> <p><br/>2) We don't have a server really so order at the bar.</p> <p>3) Be considerate (I define considerate very broadly)<br/>Imagine you're going to hear a talk by a great writer in a nice restaurant. Imagine that there may also be future employers present who love gamers. Imagine also that your mom is watching.</p> <p><br/>Show up with all of that in mind and you'll be fine and all die rolls will probably be 18 or better.</p> <p>Every time I shower I feel like I can roll critical hit at will on you guys! I'm may even shave for meetup!</p> <p><br/>See you guys soon!</p> <p>The purpose of this group is to give gamers and the gamer curious a chance to meet, mingle, discuss and play games. There's always plenty of each at our meetups. Backgrounds of players and relative experience levels aren't much of an issue. We welcome long time players of various editions as well as players who've only been playing a short time. All you need to do is show up, pick a group, and jump in. Terry</p>

Attending 1001 meetups would take a minimum of 4 years so i don't expect that any single person (including myself) would be able to get through the entire list, but nonetheless, it would be a fascinating list to look at! There are only two rules for this meetup #1 you must contribute to the 1001 list and #2 you must lead the activity you suggest. This group is about getting out and enjoying this beautiful city we all share.

We start within, but outer transformation can manifest faster than you might expect.</span></p> <p><span style="color : #008000 ; font-size : medium">I share some of my personal experiences as teaching tools.

10120811 895594 <p>Hey all:</p> <p>PLEASE CALL LYNETTE AT JALOPY TO RESERVE A PLACE IN EACH CLASS GOING FORWARD:<br/>[masked]-3214.</p> <p><br/>Emily Eagen is a long-time performer of folk, world, and early music, with a keen interest in teaching harmony and experience with vocal groups of all ages and levels. She worked as a teacher and performer in the Netherlands for five years, and is a regular teacher at the Augusta Heritage Center (www.augustaheritage.com) during Vocal Week. Hailing from Cincinnati she sings a variety of southern close harmony repertoires, and also performs old time and bluegrass songs in a trio with singer and harmonica player Trip Henderson and multi-instrumentalist/singer Spiff Wiegand. Emily is also (get this!) a two-time International Whistling Champion.</p> <p>Don Friedman began playing guitar and singing at about 8 years, and realized that he could harmonize at about 9 ("hey, that's not the tune you're singing!"). Some of his earliest performing was with his high school rock band (the fabulous Soul Searchers), but he was particularly influenced by the folk music revival of the 60s. Over the past 15 years or so, Don has branched out and has explored old-time, country and bluegrass music. He has also always enjoyed songs from other cultures and languages. He plays rhythm and lead guitar, and has recently taken up the mandolin. In recent years, Don has been on staff at Vocal Week at the Augusta Heritage Center, as a jam session leader, instructor and performer. In New York, he performs with the trio, Triboro, and the duet, Jenny &amp; Don. By day, he is a policy analyst and attorney with an anti-poverty agency, the Empire Justice Center.</p> <p>The duo will teach a vocal harmony workshop, focusing on two and three part country, bluegrass, and old-time repertoire. No need to read notation! You will be up and singing right away! And in the future Emily will make use of the vocal harmony books written by Kathy Fink and Marcy Marxer put out by Homespun Tapes, which give music, lyrics, and an accompanying CD for home study. The class will be a fun, hands on, demystifiying, and empowering experience learning to sing harmony! And will end in a full-scale performance at the end of a few months. . .</p> <p>HOW ABOUT THAT! SO SOON WE WILL BE TAKING IT ON THE ROAD! And, if Emily ever gets laryngitis, she'll still have to come teach, because she can whistle all the parts! But seriously, she is a whistling champion, I have seen her perform, and she's amazing?</p> <p>Call or email with any questions, and please RSVP ASAP, if that's enough acronyms for you,</p> <p>Until we sing again,</p> <p>Steve/[masked]</p> <p>We are a group of people who love to sing. Bluegrass harmony is easy to learn, so it makes the singing that much more enjoyable. We have 2 professional musicans/instructors who come with their guitars and voices. We meet from usually in the vicinity of Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY. The cost is $30 per person per class. This may sound like a lot, but we have great instructors, and the enjoyment and camaraderie make it worthwhile. I just found without the professional leadership the group would get stale very quickly. If you can sing in tune, you are a welcome member. We learn new songs each meeting, so the material is always fresh. Even if you think this is not your style of music, it's a whole different experience in person when you're singing it, not just listening to it. Come on out, we have a blast. Also, we have met monthly since June 2008, and there is usually at least 20 people in attendance. Not everyone who comes signs up thru Meetup. So even if you only see 3 people have said they are coming, it's because everyone else notified me or Jalopy separately. Space is limited to 25. Don't chicken out at the last minute; you won't regret it.</p>

101209302 1799771 <p>This week I will be teaching what I call "Extreme Yoga". The funny thing about the word "Extreme" is we expect anything that is labeled as such to be a waaaay amped up version of the original. However, in this case, "Extreme Yoga" just means we will be working with the most difficult aspect of any Yoga practice which is too sit still. This class will actually be fairly simple until the very end when we will sit in meditation for about twenty minutes. Twenty minutes of sitting as pure presence is actually quite daunting for those who do not have a current meditation practice. Once the nervous system begins too clear the act of sitting still actually becomes a part of ones life that is absolutely essential and deeply enjoyable. When we access our dept we awaken our sensitivity, and once our sensitivity in heightened we begin to live life through our body which connects us directly to all creation and FLOW!</p> <p> </p> <p>Please arrive by 7:10 pm,</p> <p>please bring a Yoga mat if you have one,</p> <p>donations are accepted to support the space.</p> <p> </p> <p>Peace,</p> <p>Akal</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>I am starting this group as a reaction to what I see as a necessary, but neglected aspect of what it is to be human, and living in this age. All of us, to some degree, store emotional patterns in the body. The purpose of this storage is to protect the ego so we can maintain some stability during times of stress. This is not a flawed function of the body. The protective emotional armoring that results over time needs to be addressed otherwise there is the possibility of a progression toward various dis-ease states. We can become stiff in our actions and equally rigid in our views and enjoyment of life. The avoidance of pain both physically and emotionally must be addressed otherwise we cease to progress. The focus of this weekly group is the use of Kundalini Yoga, Yantra Yoga, sound, light, breath, forgiveness, and advanced yogic to practices to liberate our flow of energy so that we can flow once again with life. Change is the way of the universe, and we must stay flexible and ,as the Egyptians said, the results of our work must leave us with hearts as light as a feather. The greatest weight we carry in life actually has no measurable weight at all. This group is not a talk therapy group but one based on transcendence and functional practices. These technologies are brilliant. Not only will we feel lighter and relieved but as a bonus we will benefit from stronger nervous and endocrine systems. We will feel stronger, physically lighter, and most of all we will experience more of what life has to offer. If we want to attract what it is we need and want in this life we must change our resonance. The journey is inward through our body's sensory system; as we fall into ourselves we witness more and more subtle layers of pattern linked to our history and expectations for the future, with presence as our anchor we are audience to the change these practices can facilitate. Every time we release some karmic baggage we resonate at a higher level and we begin to attract those energies which mirror our vibration. Live as energy, witness how all is one, and the Universe will provide. We are all unique and differentiated as human beings. We are born to coexist harmoniously with a very specific flow which dictates our functionality and who we think we are. If we tune into this flow we are granted the gift of authenticity and wholeness; and from our authenticity we are guided toward those relationships and activities which we find fulfilling.</p> <p>The classes will be taught by Joel Etienne M.S. aka Akal. Joel has been a Yoga teacher for about 8 years, a personal trainer for over 10, and he possesses a Masters degree in Applied Exercise Physiology.</p>

10121221 47098 <p>This is a subgroup of the NYC Meetups where members agree to take turns DM'ing for each other. <b>To RSVP for this meetup you have to agree to a system where we take turns</b> running games for each other. We'll keep track of who DM's and who plays and then vote on who we think should DM next for the group based on how many times they have come and played. <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYC-DND/messages/boards/thread/6430290">Click this Link for more description.</a> There will two groups one who meets monthly and one who meets weekly.</p> <p>If you are new to DM'ing and still want to join you can easily run an adventure from the new Dungeon Delve book. It makes things very easy. The rest of us can choose whatever we want to run, either published or custom made, either one-shot or longer adventure.</p> <p>I hear two excuses every time I ask people to DM. First one is from new people who are scared to do it or don't know how. That excuse is now invalid because of the existence of the new Dungeon Delve book which makes it so simple anyone who read the player's handbook can do it. The second excuse is that a lot of DM's are the main DM for their friends at home and the meetups are the only place they get to play. Well if everyone took that attitude then there would be no DM's at the meetups at all. If we take turns you'd get to play 6 times for every time you DM. You'd only have to DM once every 6 months which seems very fair, even if you are running something for people at home.</p> <p>If you have time, make two characters of different roles so we can attempt to make balanced parties.</p> <p><b>-Games-</b> as of 4/7<br/>James Leivers (6 spots, FULL) -&gt;RSVPs{Rob, Michael, David, Matthew, Nick, Jennifer}</p> <p>Welcome to the NYC D&amp;D Meetup Group!</p> <p>Dungeons and Dragons is <em>the</em> most popular tabletop role-playing game of all time. The game is played with about 6 players. One person takes the role of storyteller, AKA the Dungeon Master, and narrates the story in a medieval fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, romance, intrigue, and adventure. The rest of the players take on the roles of individual fictional characters and explore that world, often becoming heroes in the story. The story is like a completely interactive "choose your own adventure" book. Different shaped dice are used to determine the outcome of attempted actions.</p> <p>Scheduling games of D&amp;D is a little more complicated than just showing up for a game. There are three different ways people assemble to play D&amp;D.</p> <ol> <li>We have the "open to all" meetups that are on the first Saturday of the month in Manhattan and the third Sunday of the month in Brooklyn.</li> <li>We have the RPGA Organized Play meetups which are every Tuesday night.</li> <li>We have "Campaign Gaming" where DMs run longer adventures that span several weeks.</li> </ol> <p> <strong>Please read</strong> this&nbsp; <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NYC-DND/messages/boards/thread/4217607">http://www.meetup.com/NYC-DND/messages/boards/thread/4217607</a> on the message board for more clarification.

101212462 2055241 <p>Greetings, Tech In Motion community!</p> <p>We are excited to get things rolling again in the New Year, and have another meetup scheduled. The event will take place on Wednesday, February 27th starting at 6:00 PM. It is being hosted by TechNexus, a local Chicago incubator.</p> <p>Little background on TechNexus:</p> <p>They got their start in 2007 through a combination of private investment, community support, and collaboration with the Illinois Technology Association. Their purpose is to foster the growth of companies and provide a co-working facility aimed to bring together entrepreneurs. Since its inception, they have seen 170+ companies come through the doors. They recently received great press, being named a Top 10 Incubator by Forbes. Here is a link to the <a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/5/prweb9472726.htm">article</a>.</p> <p>In the spirit of the event being hosted by an incubator, the format for this months meetup is to bring together companies from other incubators across the city. The focus is to provide stations for each participant to demo their product or service, provide swag + marketing materials, and just spread the word about their company.</p> <p>Aside from that, each company will be given 5 minutes to present their product or service, and we will be using <a href="http://www.gosoapbox.com/">GoSoapBox</a> to generate questions from the audience. The most popular ones will be answered by the presenters.</p> <p>We are hoping this style of platform will give attendees the opportunity to meet with all the presenters, but also interact with other members of the audience.</p> <p>As of right now, here are the presenters:</p> <p><b>Symbiosis Health - Catapult Chicago</b></p> <p>Search. Book. Pay. Symbiosis Health allows patients on a high deductible health plan to search for providers, compare costs at market driven prices and schedule appointments online. Best part?

Please, take advantage of the message board or email group members directly to find tennis partners.</p> <p><span>Beginners are welcome, however we do not provide tennis instruction. For those who have little/no experience, we recommend you take a few introductory lessons so that you have some of the basic skills needed to enjoy the sport.</span></p> <p>During the warm weather we typically schedule events throughout the week. In the winter we use some of the local indoor courts so players can keep their skills fresh year round.</p> <p>Please consider donating to keep this group going. Meetup charges organizers a yearly fee of nearly $150.00. A $5.00 donation from members would help cover this cost and be much appreciated.

101214092 3587272 <p>Okay. I'm not going to lie to you... it will be cold. But once you're done, you'll feel so good! Uptown Runners' weekly Saturday Six Miler continues! ...so put on another layer and meet us at the Bryn Mawr Starbucks (right off the Bryn Mawr red line). Once assembled together we'll head to the lake shore path for approximately three miles down and three miles back. All are welcome - pace will be somewhere in the 9 - 11 min/mile range. See ya there.</p> <p>Welcome to Uptown Runners!</p> <p>Though Chicago is full of devoted runners, many of the groups meet in Lincoln Park. But why head down there? We've got beautiful stretches of lakefront path and terrific, fun neighborhoods to run through right here in Uptown. The goal of this group is to connect with other runners in the area and find running buddies!</p> <p>Organizers will host 2-3 runs a week, but all members host runs themselves. Want company on your 6:00 am 6 mile run each Wednesday morning? Post the run! Want to run a 9 min pace for 4 miles on a Thursday afternoon? Schedule it! Think it would be fun to run 3 then go to one of our nifty neighborhood restaurants for a beer? So do I! Anyone can host a run!</p> <p>Our group is over 100 people strong, and this group is what we make it! Looking forward to connecting with more Uptown runners!</p> <p>Questions? Ideas? Just email me!</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing you soon!</p> <p>Dinah</p>
101214342 3495952 <p>Anna and I went to this show last week and it was hilarious. They are doing it again (it will be different), and thought some of you who love Cards Against Humanity may also enjoy this. If you plan to attend, I suggest you get tickets in advance.</p> <p><a href="http://ioimprov.com/chicago/io/shows/the-nerdologues" class="linkified">http://ioimprov.com/chicago/io/shows/the-nerdologues</a></p> <p>FEBRUARY EDITION: NERDS AGAINST HUMANITY 2!</p> <p>Back by popular demand!</p> <p>For many, the holidays bring out the best in people. For others, they lead to families and friends drawing out their ugliest and grossest thoughts with one extremely fun card game – and we’re not talking about Apples to Apples.</p> <p>Join the creators of the incredible Cards Against Humanity, along with the cast of the Nerdologues and guests, for an improv show based on the popular card game – with all of the pixelated bukkake and big, black dicks that come with it.</p> <p>Tickets are $5<br/>Show on Friday, February 15th at 11:59pm<br/>Loaction: iO Theater 3541 N. Clark Street</p> <p><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Celebrating all things nerdy, the Nerdologues are bringing their unique blend of sketch and solo comedy to the iO Theater. As they weave a narrative of heart and humor, they talk about the anxieties of being the kid who dresses like a Power Ranger, the pains of struggling to learn sports, and life’s truly important questions, like “Why don’t the doors on the Death Star fail-open?</p> <p>A critics’ pick from Time Out Chicago, the Nerdologues have been described as “inspired,” “self-deprecating,” and “self-aware” by the Chicago Tribune. They host a monthly storytelling event called “Your Stories” as well as many other events throughout the city.</p> <p>Come and enjoy a night of sketch comedy, music, and community not found anywhere else. Bring your old friends and make some new ones.</p> <p>Your Nerds are: Claire Friedman, Eric Garneau, Chris Geiger, Joe Gennaro, Steve Persch, Kevin Reader, Andrew Bentley and Alex Talavera with SPECIAL GUESTS!</p> <p>Sometimes being a geek woman is a lonely experience. It's hard connect with other women when they're staring at you funny because you're trying to explain your theory that the nature of a child's mutation stems partially from genetics as seen in Polaris and Magneto, but mostly from some sort of trauma before puberty - the time in which most mutants first exhibit abilities. Ex: Nightcrawler wanted to disappear because of his demonic appearance, and he did. You flashed 'em a little bit of your geek, and people just sidle away cautiously.</p> <p>Not at this meetup. We LOVE your inner geek. We want you to pull it out of it's hiding place, doll it up and make it sing for our amusement. This is a place where you can meet women who share your interest/s, socialize, have fun and not feel ostracized.</p> <p>Our main focus is to provide a safe social setting for geek women of similar interests to meet and interact and hopefully create bonds of friendship that will last a long time. Our secondary focus is to have a blast! Geek women of all ages, shapes, ethnicities, interests are welcome! --------------- This group is women only. It is NOT a singles group. Thank you for respecting that!------------</p>

We also aim to raise awareness of social issues that are important to us. We advocate for causes such as acceptance, tolerance, positive body image, top-free equality and anti-bullying to name a few.</span></p> <p>What is nudism / naturism? The practice of going naked either alone or in social settings, without overt sexual behavior. We do many of the same fun activities others do every day, just without clothes! ie beach meetups, swimming, hiking, body painting, dancing, partying, sports, &amp; more. Naturism, or nudism, is not about sex or sexuality, and many of the same behavioral rules apply as in any other public social setting.</p> <p>We are based in NYC and organize events in the northeast as well as in other regions through our YNA chapters. This group will primarily be for events in NY, NJ, PA &amp; throughout the northeast.</p> <p><span>We welcome everyone regardless of appearance, ethnicity, sexual orientation, piercings, religion, gender identity, etc. This group is for naturists of all kinds, from people who grew up with it, to people who would just like to see what it's about.</span></p> <p><span>BEFORE YOU REQUEST TO JOIN: Please have a face photo of yourself on your profile and make sure to put some thought into our membership questions. We will not accept one to two-word answers on every question. Thanks!</span></p> <p>NOTE: Meetup is not an accurate measure of how many people are attending an event, nor of our gender ratio. We use many platforms to promote events / meetups, and many of our members do not use Meetup. While 12 people might RSVP here, the actual event might have upwards of 80 people.</p> <p><a href="http://youngnaturistsamerica.com" target="_blank">http://youngnaturistsamerica.com</a></p> <p> </p>

Following the 300+ year old pioneering journey of Marquette and Joliet, they set out without proper preparation, experience or the right equipment. Traveling along Lake Michigan's northern shore, they</p> <p><br/>brave rough water, storms, and differences of opinion. Based on a true story from the book by Steven Faulkner, this adventure features some of the most beautiful scenery in the Midwest and captures the heart as a father and son struggle against the elements and each other to understand their own journeys. A voyage through the American midwest, Waterwalk is a memorable look at an archetypal journey that defines our nation and informs the heart. (Directed by Robert Cicchini.
